"Deep in the Grand Canyon lies a place of unmatched beauty; a place where blue-green water cascades over fern-clad cliffs into travertine pools, where great blue heron skim canyon streams, and where giant cottonwood and graceful willows thrive in the shade of majestic sandstone cliffs. This is Havasu Canyon, home to the Havasupai—“the people of the blue-green waters.” Havasu Canyon is a paradise enveloped in one of earth’s most rugged and remote landscapes. The village of Supai has the only post office in the US where the mail is still carried by mule train. "

that's what the website says about the place i'm going. i'm so pumped! this is our ward youth conference this year. it's going to be so awesome! i can't even begin to tell you how excited i am! i will also tell you that i'm nervous, but the excited feeling is taking of the nervousness.

tomorrow night is bag check. an adult will stand and check everything in our bags. then we will leave our bags, ready to go, at the church. tuesday night at 5pm, the bus is pulling out of the church parking lot and we begin our adventure. no stops. 12 hours. most likely no sleep (except for those of us that will be drugged haha). then at 5am wednesday morning, we will hike 10 miles to our campsite, and set up camp.

i'm so excited that we have such an amazing opportunity to go perform acts of service for the havasu tribe, and the branch that is down there. we're building a shed, 2 fences, planting 40 or so trees, and bringing a fax machine for the missionaries.

i can't wait to bring back my own amazing pictures to brag about (then i wont have to just show you these that i got off the wedsite!)! see you in about a week! wish me luck!
