How Can I Be a Pioneer?

We can all be pioneers.

To be a pioneer, we must believe, work, serve, and overcome our hard times like the early pioneers did.

The pioneers had to leave their homes behind and walk many miles.

Our challenges are different today. But we can be pioneers when we have faith in Jesus Christ, help others, go to the temple, and follow the Savior.
