"Dear Father, As Candidate Lab begins today, we are reminded of the vision of Emerald Hills as a learning center. What a great day it will be when new missionary candidates come through the gates at the property on Old Routt Road and walk into a state-of-the-art learning center — a place where there is plenty of room to set up computers, desks at which to work, and a dining hall that can seat everyone. Thank You for providing this place, and thank You for the plans you have for it. Please continue to direct our steps in the fulfillment of this vision. In the Name of Jesus, Amen."
