Heritage

In Utah, we celebrate Pioneer Day. The pioneers trekked across the plains and founded our state--their stories are inspiring!

I love this holiday: FIREWORKS, barbeques, parades, rodeos and a reminder to live up to my heritage of strength, faith, and courage.

When I was in the MTC preparing for a mission, I remember something one speaker told us: Each of us is the first pioneer of our own lives. Everyday, we decide what we will do with the time that has been given us, and we are going where we have never been before! Inspiring. Comforting.

As the pioneer of my own life, I am exploring new possibilities and breaking all my assumptions. I'm overcoming obstacles and moving forward in faith. My life is awesome and I am deeply grateful for all the blessing I'm receiving and the things I am learning.
