Pioneer Day

July 24th is Pioneer Day which is a state holiday here in Utah. As a family we aren't doing anything special to commemorate but I did want to put a post in honor of the pioneers. Pulled some random pictures off the Internet. I personally am very grateful for the pioneers and what they did to follow the prophet and what they sacrificed to be free from persecution and worship God. I can't even begin to imagine what they suffered and endured to cross the plains but they did it. I pray that I am as faithful and strong as those early pioneers.
(Here in Utah this day is celebrated like a 2nd-4th of July with fireworks and everything.)
