It’s a great way to celebrate Pioneer Day!
Today is Pioneer Day—a day when members of the Church remember the ancestors who sacrificed to make a better life for their descendants.
Here’s something you could do to celebrate: visit the Pioneers in Every Land website! Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:
- Unforgettable stories from around the world (like the man who joined the Church after driving the prophet in a taxi!)
- Pictures of historical artifacts that belonged to early Church members (Brigham Young’s thimble, anyone?)
- A special section all about powerful Latter-day Saint women (Lucy Mack was just the beginning.)
And here’s another idea: look for your own family’s inspiring stories at FamilySearch.org! If no one has started adding memories to your family tree yet, you could be a pioneer by starting to add them!
Whether or not our ancestors were early members of the Church, we all benefit from the goodness of previous generations. Yay for pioneers!
