Today was a very special day. We were interviewed by Elder Summerhays of the Quorum of the 70's. He is the General Authority that called us to this mission. It was a wonderful meeting with him and had us both in tears. It was a very spiritual, and sacred interview. He asked us if we would be willing to come back next year and we said of course. This mission has brought us such special blessings. He also told us some things that are too sacred to repeat here. But what a privilege to meet with this very spiritual man.
He also dedicated this ranch last year which I would like to put here.
Dedicatory Prayer for Deseret Land and Livestock_ April 27, 2014
Heavenly Father,
WE are grateful to gather here this Sabbath day to dedicate this Deseret Land and Livestock Property in its specific use as a pioneer trek site for the missionaries, youth and adults who come here to participate in this activity. We gather here in the name of Thy Son, and our Savior, Jesus Christ. We dedicate this property this day, by the power of the Melchizedek Priesthood and with sacred authority delegate by Thy living Apostles.
We acknowledge that this property has a central and sacred livestock enterprise that contributes to the building up of Thy kingdom. We express our gratitude for all those that manage and labor in this enterprise. We thank Thee for inspiring them with a spirit of unity with, and support for those involved with the trek activities on the site. We invoke a blessing upon them individually that, as thy labor with the right spirit, they and their families will grow and prosper through Thy grace. We also invoke a blessing upon the Livestock endeavor that through Thy grace and power the Livestock operation will prosper in greater measure because trekking is permitted and supported here than it would otherwise prosper if it was not permitted and supported.
We thank Thee for our present and future host stake and their leaders and invoke thy blessings upon them for their kindness, support and leadership.
We not dedicate this property in its use as a site for Pioneer Trek activities.
We invoke, upon all those who come here to participate in Pioneer Trek activities, specific opportunity to partake of powerful blessings of inspiration, protection, unity, harmony, happiness and love. We bless them with the opportunity to feel the spirit of sacrifice of faith-filled pioneers of the past, faith-filled pioneers of the present and gratitude and love for He who offered for them the greatest sacrifice. These opportunities will be realized in relation to participants preparation and righteous desires.
We invoke blessings upon all the missionaries who have, do now and those who will yet serve at this site. We bless them with the opportunity to receive abundant revelation and strong feelings of unity , love and harmony. We invoke blessings of strength beyond their own, We promise them that, if they are willing, thou wilt minister through them day by day to love, lift, strengthen, comfort, heal or bless individual trek participants. We bestow upon them, if they pray in faith for them, special blessings beyond their own capacity to be Thy hands, Thy voice, Thy strength, or Thy love to someone or some ones each day of service. We also promise that their faith-filled service here will invoke heaven's blessings upon their family and posterity.
We conclude with our deep love and gratitude for Thee, Father, for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and for the glorious gifts of the Holy Ghost. We promise our very best devotion to Thee in the building of thy Kingdom and our full-hearted love for our fellow men and do so in the name of Jesus Christ- Amen
Elder Summerhays, What a spiritual giant, As you can see, I am trying not to cry.
