that we may have power to finish this temple even to the
top stone will thou curse our enemies & bring Judgment
upon them that they shall not have power to come into these
vallies to disturb us but may we conquer our enemies &
may they be destroyed. We thank the[e] our Father that we
are here in thes vallies of the Mountains we thank the[e]
thou hast blessed the Earth for our sakes that thou hast
caused the desert to Blossom as the rose & caused wheat
corn & vegitation to grow for our Benefit wilt thou
continue thy blessings unto us in these valleyies of the mountain
wilt thou bless the land & the water the vallies Mountains canyons
& streams for the benefit of thy saints but may not the wicked
or ungodly have any power here, But may our Brethren
who go forth to war with our enemies have power to scatter
& destroy them. We pray thee our Father to turn the hearts
of the Lamanites even the sons of Jacob unto us that they may
do thy will & be as a wall of defense around about us. We now
aske the[e] Our Father to except of this deposit & dedication preserve
these records as thou dist the pot of manna Hid up by Aaron [Exodus 16:33]
that they may be preserved to come forth in the own due time
