A hike to Ensign Peak

Our family hiked Ensign Peak Monday morning. At the top, DH wanted to share with our children the significance of this beautiful place. It turned out more lovely than he had planned.

If each family member voiced how the hike was, the words would be:

AWESOME,
long,
too warm,
hard,
adventurous,
beautiful.



Albeit the scenery and the view from the top was beautiful, the highlight of our hike was just before reaching the top, and meeting Elder and Sister Dallin H. Oaks.

What a delight!

Our children who were feeling rather tuckered out before reaching the top were suddenly filled with the energy to finish the hike. They raced to the top and talked with he and his wife before we parents caught up with them.

And when we were there together, our newly baptized daughter declared,

"I've never met a REAL prophet in real life before!"

And with that, Elder Oaks turned and bent down, he looked at her, extended his hand and said,  "You have now."

He shook each of our children's hand, including baby's (and mine, too). What an experience for our family!
