Youth and leaders taking part in Trek say the experience pays tribute to the hardship experienced by the early pioneers

After a year of planning and coordination, about 300 youth from the Laie and Kahului West Maui stakes participated in a pioneer Trek. Youth and their leaders said the first youth Trek in Hawaii gave them greater faith because of the bonds they were able to forge as trek families and the lessons they learned about early Church pioneers, handcart pioneers and pioneering Church members from the Pacific and Asia areas.
