Julie's adventures

The past two weeks have been busy for Julie. On July 21 she headed south to EFY at Provo. She had a great time. Her cousin Meghan Coffey went with her. Julie came to learn how much Meghan loves to read as that is how she spent most of her free time. Julie made friends with two girls from Canada. She also learned that if you are going to have fun at a dance you have to take matters into your own hands and ask the boys as most boys are very shy.

Julie returned from EFY and did her wash and started packing for the stake Martins Cove Trek. She had a great expierence. She had a great group as her family. She also saw a man on the trek skin a rattlesnake after he killed it in Dan Jones Cove. She did great and didn't get any blisters or dehydrated. She did have a hard time one day keeping her bonnet on as the wind just kept blowing it away. One of her favorite experiences was when they crossed the sweetwater river. She was touched by the willingness of the boys to carry people across and she wondered if she would be that strong to help others. I think that she would as she is one that tries to help others and think of others often.
