“Faith in Every Footstep”
The story of the Saints crossing the plains to arrive in Utah has become a pilgrimage of heritage and imagination. Our minds follow their feet that brought them and the gospel across the United States. In addition, the pioneer spirit applies to all members of the Church, all humans… we all come from pioneers, and we are pioneers in our own right. And often we learn and change the most from our own “Crossing the plains” experiences.
