Pioneers of the past and present have shown the kind of "better" things that should be sought for. "Our responsibility is to see that the gospel flame continues to burn brightly. Our charge is to find the lost sheep and help them feel our Savior's love."
      Strengthening personal spiritual footings creates greater capacity to build the kingdom, which brings greater joy. "As you write your family histories, as you tend to lost sheep, as you nurture the seedlings of faith in others, you will find yourself saying 'Is it already the end of the day?' rather than 'Will this day ever end?' Pioneer women did not have time to wallow in discouragement. They were too busy working their way toward Zion."
      "Do our precious converts, our reactivated and longtime members have the same sense of belonging and being needed? If not, we must nurture their tender souls."
      Emulating the simple faith and virtues of pioneers, past and present, will bring peace.
