My coed wife, Tina, worked so hard this last semester that she got on the Dean's List. Congratulations! I love you and always knew you were smarter than me :-)

This is the Jones Family before we began the Trek. Tina and I were advisors, Karlie was an advisor with another Youth Adult, and Katie was a "ma". Although it was cold, we walked a long way, I got sick, and sleeping on the ground was very comfortable, it was a great experience. The Trek experience reminds us of the sacrifices the early pioneers made, it reminds us of what is really important, it shows us how we can survive on very little, and finally, it shows us that we can be happy even though we are uncomfortable as long as we are serving the Lord and others.

One side note....Tina got the name of "Hot Mama" on the Trek since her dress caught on fire the first night while standing next to a fire barrel to try and stay warm. The Asian foreign exchange student who noticed it was so nice and calm when he said "You on fire, You on fire" in his broken English. It was a great story for the rest of the Trek....and yes, she is a "Hot Mama"!

Mary Deane also liked to hear Grandma Jones sing her songs.

Grandpa Jones got to know Mary Deane a lot better over the Christmas vacation. We really enjoyed our time together. She especially liked the stories I told her. We love you Mary Deane.
