What does it take to be a Pioneer?
Remember, we know we will face storms of another kind, but learning to survive is a lesson that was taught by those who suffered before us. The handcart companies passed their tests. Now it’s our turn!
(2 Nephi 31:20)
It is good to look to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the future. It is good to look upon the virtues of those who have gone before, to gain strength for whatever lies ahead. It is good to reflect upon the work of those who labored so hard and gained so little in this world but out of whose dreams and early plans so well nurtured has come a great harvest of which we are the beneficiaries. Their tremendous example can become a compelling motivation for each of us. For each of us is a pioneer in his own life, often in his own family and many of us pioneer daily in seeking to do God’s will and lift and serve those around us.
-Gordon B. Hinckley
