Dear Friends and Family,
My sister and I are going on a Handcart Trek this summer with our youth group. We are very excited and nervous too! We will be gone a total of 5days. The most exhausting days will be the intense hiking of 25miles in two days. During the trek we are divided into families and each family has a handcart they have to push or pull along the hike. The families consist of aprox 10 people, 2parents-high school seniors, aunt and uncle-adults, and 6kids. We will be visiting several historical places along the trek. We will be sleeping and eating outside . We will be hiking across Wyoming towards Salt Lake City where we will end with a trip to the church building and temple. The church is paying a portion of each persons fees and we have been asked to raise $150 individually. For our family that means $300.
Right now we are working on sewing our own clothes for the trek. Each of us are sewing a prairie skirt, bonnet, bloomers and an everything bag. We are also getting together 2-4times a week to work on fitness. This past Saturday we hiked 7miles, but our small group ended up going 9miles. WOW, we both got LOTS of sun! We are going to go hiking atleast 3 more times.
After prayer and thought and several lists of ideas we asked Mom if we could do a fund raiser with Mary Kay. She agreed and 100% of profit will be used towards our trek. Her profit is 50% of the cost of all Mary Kay products. So for every $100 we sell, $50 of it goes directly into our trek! If for some reason we make more then we need we will donate it to other people who didn't raise enough money or towards the supplies we need like hiking shoes.
Details of the fundraiser:
Suzie said we can use her website for orders: www.marykay.com/suzies
If everyone we send this to can help we can have our trek paid for before the deadline. Every little bit help. Mom is not trying to jump-start her business, just giving us a valuable resource to raise money.

From Megan:
The girls wrote this letter and are doing all the work to include delivery and phone calls if things need to be confirmed. I am just supervising. This trek is a very spiritual experience and I'm excited at the chance my girls have to go. All support is appreciated.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT
