A fireside for the youth and their parents was held tonight at the Stake Center to pass along information and begin the registration process.
Those who attended were reminded that the trek is held for a purpose. "A Trek without a purpose is a glorified hike."
In preparation for Trek, those who are participating have been challenged to learn all the words to five great hymns of the Church.
1. Come, Come Ye Saints pg. 30
2. Praise to the Man pg. 27
3. The Spirit of God pg. 2
4. How Firm a Foundation pg. 85
5. I Know that My Redeemer Lives pg. 136
We are also advised to implement walking into our schedules so that we will be used to the hike that will take 4 days to complete.
The Theme for the hike is: "Latter-Day Trail Blazers"
By learning from the past, youth will gain a clear understanding of the principles of obedience, diligence, sacrifice, covenants, strength, trust, testimony and eternal identity and how as they apply those principles in their lives they can accomplish "hard things" and learn to draw closer to Heavenly Father and the Savior to help them become stronger as they continue on their own trek as a Latter Day Trailblazer.
"You are the pioneers of today and will blaze a trail into a wilderness unlike and perhaps even more challenging than that of the pioneers of earlier days."
-Ardeth Kapp
All youth who are 14-18 years old by are invited to attend and we are asked to seek out and "rescue" all those we can and invite them.
The Stake is also encouraging the youth to participate in a program called the "Trail of Faith Award", where every participant will have the opportunity to earn an award that prepares them spiritually and physically for the trek.
Information is available on the website as well as from the Young Men and Young Womens leaders.
