The Spirit at Scout Camp – by Anthony Voigt

A few years ago, my Boy Scout troop joined with a bunch of troops from the church for a week long summer camp at Camp Decorah. We were supposed to move in on Sunday, but to help keep the Sabbath holy we moved in on Saturday instead. On Sunday morning we hiked up Mount Decorah, or whatever it was called, and held a sacrament meeting on the top. It was beautiful up there. It seemed like the tree-covered hills went on forever. The beauty of the place brought a good spirit to the meeting. In the meeting the speaker spoke about how mountains are the temples, and how many prophets went up into mountains to receive revelation from God.  I felt the Spirit very strongly that day and I hope I will never forget it. It helped me grow and understand the Spirit a lot.
