Onward! A Salute to Pioneers Everywhere


For many of life’s great accomplishments, there is a person who overcame their fears and took a chance as they walked off into the unknown.
Such people overcome their fears and disappointments and discover new horizons for others to cross.
Although there are many examples, there is none like that from the pioneers in the mid 1800’s that trekked westward to look for Zion in the deserts of the United states.
Indeed, their stories of trials and triumphs serve as an inspiration everywhere.
But they are not the only ones.
This weeks gift will be that of the voice of a latter-day apostle who, as we all should, give reverence to those who will do the impossible to bring “Zion” into our homes, lives and our eternal family.
