As part of the history entries I have shared over the last couple of weeks, I have been instructed to share many of the special experiences that have occurred over the last 2.5 years. Many of these I planned to never share. I have only told a couple of close family members about the experience I am about to share; however, the instruction was very clear that it is to be shared as part of the history. For some reason, God wants the history of this movement told as it is, including the special spiritual experiences that have accompanied it. I can imagine that this is all very difficult to believe—I do not know if I could believe it if the tables were turned. This being said, it is true and has been written as it occurred. I do not know why God has chosen such fantastic ways to prepare this movement, I only know that He is at the head of it, and that someday we will understand the wisdom of it.
In the middle of October of 2009, we were inspired to take a trip to St. George, Utah. Everything went wrong, and it seemed like it would be impossible to go. However, through a set of last minute miracles, we were able to make the trip. As we arrived in St. George, I had the impression that we needed to pray for our minds to be open. I felt like this was part of continuing the translations and other responsibilities we had. I prayed for this regularly and intently. One night, I had the strong impression that on Sunday morning I was to take my brother and brother-in-law and go to the rock structure we had hiked that day in Snow Canyon. We were to arrive before sunrise, and messengers would meet us there to give us the blessings we sought. We were told to diligently prepare for this time and were told, “Seek Me with all your heart and continue to practice opening your mind.”
The next day as I was praying about this, the thought came to my mind that we would be transfigured. I didn’t really understand what that meant. I initially pushed away the thought, but it kept coming in a more and more clear and powerful way. Later that day, I was taught more about the nature of a transiguration and the the need for us to obtain a transfiguration, as I was shown the power of the Beast and the difficulty of the path ahead of us.
On Sunday morning, October 18th, we left the house where we were staying at 5:45am and arrived in Snow Canyon before 6:00am. According to the instruction we had received, we went to the base of the rock structure and there prayed. We each prayed three times and pled to be clean and to be able to obtain the blessings we sought. After the final prayer, we were instructed to anoint our eyes with clay. We did this and were then told, “Arise and ascend.” We hiked to the top of the rock structure. Before we stepped on the very top part, we felt to remove our shoes and empty our pockets of all miscellaneous items.
When we reached the top point, we were then told that we would be transfigured with the rising of the sun. We knelt together facing the sun and waited. While kneeling, I was asked the question in my mind, “Whom shall ascend to the mount of the Lord?” The answer then came, “He who has a pure heart and clean hands. You are clean before me.” I understood this was not on our own merit.
As the sun rose, we looked directly into the sun. An army of angels came over the mountain—that is the only way I know how to describe it. Some were in chariots and others simply flew. We were overcome with an amazing feeling of light. Then into my mind came the words, “Bow your head and you shall receive the blessings you seek.” Three messengers who identified themselves as Josephus, Elijah and Moses blessed us. Among other things they bestowed upon us a transfiguration and a blessing to open our mind and spiritual eyes. They blessed us with power, faith and strength to fulfill our missions and endure the persecutions that were to come. They taught us regarding the organization we were to help build. We were then allowed to commune with them for a short time. After this, we offered prayers of gratitude and returned home.
