MESQUITE WEST STAKE TREK

Come to the Mountain of the Lord

Youth 14-18, there is still time to sign up to be with friends on Trek in July 8-11 on Cedar Mountain in beautiful scenery.

A fireside program was held on Sunday evening. Pres. Jared Hollinghead invited the youth to “Come to know Jesus Christ, He is calling out to you! He wants you to feel a personal relationship with Him. Come have your own sacred grove experience.”

Brogan & Shantelle Felshaw, Ram Rods, spoke about their experiences on the last trek and told of the bonds they and their family had made on trek. “It will change your life; you will make different friends and realize your goals while having fun too.”.

Logan & Heather Abbott are also ram rods, and he jokingly said, “I like wilderness survival and I am a rugged indoors man!” He invited the youth to come and gain more strength in the gospel and more faith in living their lives. He added you can feel from the other side of Heaven when you come and join with Trek.

Adran Klug, said, “Doing hard things will bring about happiness and give you more confidence in yourself that you can do hard things because of the spirit that will be there on Trek.”

The Ma’s and Pa’s formed a choir to sing, “Walk with Me” at the start of the program. Sr. Katelee Dalton sang “Come to the Mountain of the Lord” with the words inviting everyone to come with “banner, shield and sword and the climb the mountain to feel the power of the truth restored, to find the promises fulfilled.”

The youth will meet Wednesday morning, July 8, dressed in their pioneer clothing at the stake center and travel to the Red Cliffs Temple for baptisms. Tara Faught reminded the youth of the intense desire of the early pioneers to go to the Nauvoo Temple before their trek west. “This will remind our youth of the experiences of our pioneer ancestors and their desire to have the power of the temple in their lives as they proceeded on their hard journey.” Elwood & Tara Faught, Trail bosses for trek, assured all the youth and parents they will be well fed and taken care of!

On Saturday July 11, there will be a Welcome Home Party at Cedar Mountain when the trekkers return. Lunch be served and youth will be picked up by the parents.
