Mosiah 5:7-8:

“And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.

And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.”

Youth Handcart Trek

Purpose of Handcart Trek

From 1856 to 1860, about 3,000 Latter-day Saints pulled handcarts across the American plains to gather in the Salt Lake Valley. These pioneers trekked more than a thousand miles through heat and cold; through mud, sand, and sometimes snow; and through rivers and over mountains. They faced trials that required great faith and perseverance.

Treks provide powerful opportunities for youth to:
– Strengthen testimonies.
– Build unity.
– Do family history.
– Learn and appreciate Church history.
– Feel gratitude for the sacrifices of the pioneers and the heritage they provided.
– Appreciate their blessings more fully.
– Seek and find guidance to overcome challenges.
– Focus on serving and rescuing others.
– Learn core gospel principles.

Late registration for youth attending Trek closes soon!
