Ensign Peak

Tonight we took all of the Youth going on Trek to Ensign Peak. It was on this Peak that Brigham Young stood with other leaders of the church and picked the spot for the Salt Lake Temple. He had been shown this place by Joseph Smith in a vision. The Deseret News refers to it as "Utah's Mt. Sinai." It is a sacred and beautiful spot overlooking the whole Salt Lake Valley. We had a great time, and the kids hiked it in 12 minutes! Bro. Morris talked to them about the importance of the Peak and then after taking some pics, we made our way back down, loaded up the cars and headed to Brigham Young's grave. A group of some of our other girls helped out at the Utah Food Bank tonight, giving service there.
