1 Day Until Trek - Reverence for Pioneer Heritage

Image
For over 175 years, Latter-day Saints have remembered and commemorated the story of pioneers gathering to Zion in the American West. That is part of what we are doing on Trek, as well. In pulling and pushing handcarts in the wilds lands of Utah, we remember and honor them. But we must not lose sight of why they sacrificed. They gathered to Zion because they were disciples of Jesus Christ and had made covenants to follow Him. They heeded the call of modern-day prophets to gather to a central place to build a heavenly community and create a godly people.

Pioneer travel on the trail was often dirty. The wagons and feet of pioneers and animals kicked up a lot of dust. 19th-century overland travelers often followed rivers and streams so that the pioneers and their animals had water to drink. It is not by accident that the Mormon Trail followed the Platte, North Platte, and Sweetwater Rivers. Once the pioneers crossed the continental divide, they used water sources that eventually ended up in the the Colorado River, the Gulf of California and Pacific Ocean or the Great Salt Lake. Those rivers and streams provided water for the pioneers to bath and refresh tired bodies as well. Where we are headed for Trek, there is not a lot of water. If there was, we wouldn't want to drink it without filtering it. We will be hauling fresh, clean water for Trek. If past Treks are followed, there will be an opportunity to use that water to clean up and refresh, be it a hair wash or washing hands and splashing water on your face. You will have plenty of ...
