Hide and Seek



It is not enough to study or reenact the accomplishments of our pioneers. We need to identify the eternal principles they applied to achieve and then apply those principles to the challenges of our day. In that way we honor their pioneering efforts, and we also reaffirm our heritage and strengthen its capacity to bless our own posterity and “those millions of our Heavenly Father’s children who have yet to hear and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.” We are all pioneers in doing so. The foremost quality of our pioneers was faith. With faith in God, they did what every pioneer does. They stepped forward into the unknown: a new religion, a new land, a new way of doing things. With faith in their leaders and in one another, they stood fast against formidable opposition. When their leader said, “This is the right place,” they trusted, and they stayed.- Dallin H. Oaks
