Aaronic Priesthood Training Videos

The Church has provided several videos that show how a Aaronic Priesthood Quorum should function properly. Each member of the quorum, presidency member or not, should review this information and the video content.

They are located at LDS.org at the following URLs:

2nd Annual Slide and Freeze Campout

Jan 9-10th was the 2nd Annual Timblefork Slide and Freeze Campout up AF Canyon. After Berk only going back home twice for more gear, and a quick ride up the canyon, we arrived at the parking lot. Taking in the fresh mountain air and singing a cheery tune (not out loud), the troop made a short (3/4 mile) hike to the camp-site above the road and creek.

Activities began immediately to setup tent city by digging out snow for each site. Once completed, the sledding by moonlight began in earnest. Sledding completed for now, and after dinner, it was the competition of who could come closest to becoming a popsicle without actually expiring.

Morning meant fire and warmth. After more death-defying sledding feats, it was time to pack up and move on down the trail.

Can't wait for the 3rd Annual Slide and Freeze next year!!

The Chute and the Jump


Wait. Isn't the sled supposed to be on the bottom and the scout on top?

Back to the Rigs, and see you next year


Hamongog Hike

(Playing some catch-up)

In October, the Mighty 1158 ventured high above Alpine into the mountains to Hamongog. The weather played nice and a great time was had by most to all.
