Deaf Branch Conference: Temple Quarry Trail

Our conference continued on Saturday September 18, 2010 bright and early at 7:30 a.m. for those who wanted to participate in the hike on the Temple Quarry Trail.  Danny Radford led the way and stopped us along the path to explain how the pioneers used the lava rock for the foundation of the St. George temple.  You can see holes in the rocks from the dynamite the settlers used to blast the rocks apart and then they had to drag the enormous rocks with a wagon down to the temple site.  The trail is a unique hike with incredible views and a fascinating history.  The pioneers sacrificed so much to build a temple here.

After the hike we were treated to a presentation given by Brett and Ericka Hymas.  Dressed in pioneer attire, they shared poignant stories about the sacrifices the pioneers endured and the faith they had to follow a prophet of God.  They had faith to consecrate all they had in order to build the temple, starting with the foundation.  Do we have the same determination, faith, and foundation in Jesus Christ today?

    For me this was the highlight of the event. Brother and Sister Hymas bore such a sweet heart warming and powerful testimony my heart was full and my spirit soared. Thanx to all who worked so hard to put on such a wonderful conference we can't wait until the next one and hope you don't mind if we come because we plan to be in attendence invited or not.
