Waterfall Canyon

Wow what a week so far. It seems like I have been really busy getting stuff done and running different places, but I really kind of like keeping busy! I have been slowing improving on my summer like I wanted to this year. I have been getting out more for sure! Last Saturday I went for a hike up Waterfall Canyon which was so gorgeous! I have never been up there before, it is a really nice hike it is all up hill. When you get toward the top of the hike there's rock climbing more so than a path; which is so beautiful to be up there against the water with the green everywhere. The waterfall was going strong and so amazing! The hike for me was a challenge to make sure I didn't wimp out and to keep my motivation going strong, but the end result was so worth it. Hiking is so amazing! You can go up places that you would never see or even know was there unless you went exploring. Like I said that I had to keep my motivation going is especially when there was so many boulders and rocks to climb, but you want to know really of what I was thinking to keep me going? Is I was thinking of Jesus Christ a lot, like what happens if this hike was me going to see him. If I lived to the second coming and the journey I would take to go and see the Savior; that I would have to push myself like the pioneers! I also thought of Him when I was having a thought that "I NEED TO STOP!" and that I can't go on any further as I was climbing those rocks. But what I pictured at this time was Jesus lending me his hand and helping me up. Just like the picture with Him saying to "Be not afraid". That is what really kept me going strong and thru the whole hike I could feel his presence with me helping me. I went with my Relief Society and those girls are so inspirational! They help you and I could really see Christ thru them especially when we were crossing the river. What an amazing trip and I learn so much! I am so grateful for the great people in my life and the Spirit being with me and teaching me so many lessons in my life.
