Faith of our Fathers - Legacy
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf shares his gratitude for early Church pioneers and for modern-day pioneers.
More than a century has passed since tens of thousands of pioneers sailed across oceans to heed a prophet’s call to gather to Zion. They left family and friends; they pulled handcarts across the plains; they grew a city out of a desert. Most important, the pioneers left a legacy of perseverance, faith, and sacrifice.
Faith of our Fathers - Mission
Modern-day missionaries—like early pioneers—sacrifice to further the work of the Lord.
“As I have thought about our early ancestors, their main objective and their goal was to be obedient to our Heavenly Father, and it was for the gospel of Jesus Christ,” Sister Taylor said. “The things we do and the missions that we serve are for that same goal and that same purpose.”
The Taylors left 11 children, 53 grandchildren, and 68 great-grandchildren behind when they accepted the call to serve. They missed weddings, missionary farewells, and baby blessings. They faced financial sacrifices. But they testified of the blessings they received as they were obedient to their calling.
Faith of our Fathers - Conversion
Overcoming opposition with the Lord's help leads to sweet experiences.
Growing up in Ireland, Susan Johnsen had attended a Christian church from the time she was young, but felt like she didn’t understand who God really was. One night when she was 18, she prayed for help to know more about God. The next day, the missionaries knocked on her door and began teaching her.
She soon gained a testimony of the gospel and wanted to be baptized. Her parents, however, did not agree with her decision. Despite the opposition she faced from friends and family, she was baptized.
