Who are you trekking for?

AND THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN SHALL TURN TO THEIR FATHERS

Who are you trekking for?

Who are you trekking for? Who from your family history inspires you? Search your family history for someone who was a pioneer or who is a "modern day" pioneer and come to trek prepared to share their story. #glenmoortrek2018

Stake Youth Family History Activity at the Riverton Family History Center with over 170 of our AMAZING youth!

Link for handout

"I invite the young people of the Church to learn about and experience the Spirit of Elijah. I encourage you to study, to search out your ancestors, and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord for your kindred dead (see D&C 124:28–36). And I urge you to help other people identify their family histories.

As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in your hearts. Your patriarchal blessing, with its declaration of lineage, will link you to these fathers and be more meaningful to you. Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. And I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives." Elder David A Bednar

For any youth who missed this activity, here is the link to the handout that was passed out to help you choose someone to trek for and a story you can share with your trek family.
