Parker decided to strike several sections…
One of the things I like to do is to make paper airplanes. I can make many different kinds of airplanes. When we need to travel across the country we sometimes drive but most of the time we fly in a plane because it is so much faster.
We are celebrating pioneer-day today. When the pioneers came to Salt Lake there weren’t any airplanes. There weren’t even any cars. All that they could do was walk and push their handcarts. It took several months to make the trip. Sometimes they had good weather and other times it was really bad. Most of the time it was really dangerous. Not everybody lived either. Many people died while traveling to Utah. It must have been really hard.
All of the pioneers had great faith. They knew that Brigham Young was Heavenly Father’s prophet. They believed that Heavenly Father talked to Brigham Young and told him where to lead the pioneers. They learned, listened, and obeyed.
Just like the pioneers, we have to have faith in the prophet. We need to do the things that he asks us to do if we want to be safe and happy. We wont have to push a handcart but we will still need to have great courage. We need to follow the prophet and be a pioneer.
I know that President Monson is the true prophet. I know the church is true. I will try to follow what the prophet says.
I say these things in the name…
