  Grown

  stepping

  forward

  into

  the

  unknown,

  driven

  by

  one

  powerful

  thing.

  Faith.
• 0:39
  This

  is
• 0:39
  the
• 0:40
  story
• 0:40
  of
• 0:40
  the
• 0:40
  pioneers
• 0:41
  of
• 0:41
  the
• 0:41
  Church
• 0:41
  of

  Jesus
• 0:42
  Christ
• 0:42
  of
• 0:43
  Latter
• 0:43
  Day
• 0:43
  Saints
• 0:44
  and
• 0:44
  the
• 0:44
  long,
• 0:45
  dusty,
• 0:45
  hopeful
• 0:46
  road
• 0:46
  they
• 0:46
  took
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  build
• 0:47
  a
• 0:48
  home
• 0:48
  where
• 0:48
  they
• 0:48
  could
• 0:49
  freely
• 0:49
  worship,
• 0:50
  live
• 0:50
  in
• 0:51
  peace,
• 0:51
  and
• 0:51
  grow
• 0:52
  as
• 0:52
  a
• 0:52
  community.
• 0:53
  This
• 0:53
  episode
• 0:54
  is
• 0:54
  especially
• 0:54
  close
• 0:55
  to
• 0:55
  my
• 0:55
  heart
• 0:55
  because
• 0:56
  I
• 0:56
  grew
• 0:56
  up
• 0:56
  in
• 0:56
  the
• 0:57
  LDS
• 0:57
  Church.
• 0:57
  For
• 0:58
  more
• 0:58
  than
• 0:58
  20
• 0:58
  years.
• 0:59
  I
• 1:00
  went
• 1:00
  to
• 1:00
  Sunday
• 1:00
  services,
• 1:01
  sang
• 1:01
  Primary
• 1:02
  Song,
• 1:02
  dressed
• 1:03
  up
• 1:03
  for
• 1:03
  Pioneer
• 1:04
  Day,
• 1:04
  and
• 1:05
  even
• 1:05
  visited
• 1:06
  some
• 1:06
  of
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  places
• 1:06
  we'll
• 1:07
  talk
• 1:07
  about.
• 1:07
  So
• 1:08
  whether
• 1:08
  you're
• 1:08
  curled
• 1:08
  up
• 1:09
  on
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  couch,
• 1:10
  riding
• 1:10
  in
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  car,
• 1:11
  building
• 1:11
  with
• 1:11
  blocks,
• 1:12
  or
• 1:12
  watching
• 1:12
  clouds
• 1:13
  drift
• 1:13
  by,
• 1:14
  I
• 1:14
  invite
• 1:15
  you
• 1:15
  to
• 1:16
  walk
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  trail
• 1:16
  with
• 1:16
  me.
• 1:17
  You
• 1:17
  don't
• 1:18
  need
• 1:18
  hiking
• 1:18
  boots
• 1:19
  or
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  sunbonnet.
• 1:20
  Just
• 1:20
  bring
• 1:21
  your
• 1:21
  hat,
• 1:21
  your
• 1:22
  imagination
• 1:22
  and
• 1:23
  your
• 1:23
  sense
• 1:23
  of
• 1:24
  wonder.
• 1:42
  Let's
• 1:42
  pause
• 1:43
  before
• 1:43
  we
• 1:43
  hit
• 1:43
  the
• 1:44
  trail
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  ask
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  really
• 1:45
  important
• 1:46
  question.
• 1:47
  What
• 1:47
  exactly
• 1:48
  is
• 1:48
  the
• 1:49
  Church
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  Jesus
• 1:50
  Christ
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  Latter
• 1:50
  Day
• 1:51
  Saints?
• 1:51
  I
• 1:52
  belong
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  Church
• 1:53
  of
• 1:54
  Jesus
• 1:55
  Christ
• 1:55
  of
• 1:56
  Latter
• 1:57
  Day
• 1:58
  Saints.
• 1:59
  It's
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  big
• 2:00
  name,
• 2:00
  isn't
• 2:01
  it?
• 2:02
  Sometimes
• 2:02
  people
• 2:03
  call
• 2:03
  it
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  LDS
• 2:04
  Church
• 2:04
  for
• 2:04
  short,
• 2:05
  or
• 2:05
  even
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  Mormon
• 2:06
  Church.
• 2:07
  But
• 2:07
  most
• 2:07
  members
• 2:08
  today
• 2:08
  prefer
• 2:08
  the
• 2:09
  full
• 2:09
  name
• 2:10
  because
• 2:10
  it
• 2:10
  reminds
• 2:11
  them
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  two
• 2:11
  very
• 2:12
  important
• 2:12
  things.
• 2:14
  One,
• 2:14
  they
• 2:14
  believe
• 2:15
  in
• 2:15
  Jesus
• 2:15
  Christ.
• 2:16
  He's
• 2:16
  at
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  center
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  everything
• 2:18
  they
• 2:18
  do.
• 2:19
  And
• 2:19
  two,
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  words
• 2:20
  Latter
• 2:21
  Day
• 2:21
  Saints
• 2:22
  help
• 2:22
  show
• 2:22
  they
• 2:22
  believe
• 2:23
  they're
• 2:23
  part
• 2:23
  of
• 2:23
  Jesus
• 2:24
  followers
• 2:25
  in
• 2:25
  modern
• 2:26
  times
• 2:27
  or
• 2:27
  in
• 2:27
  the
• 2:28
  latter
• 2:28
  days.
• 2:29
  Let
• 2:29
  me
• 2:30
  tell
• 2:30
  you
• 2:30
  how
• 2:30
  it
• 2:30
  all
• 2:30
  began.
• 2:34
  Back
• 2:34
  in
• 2:34
  1820,
• 2:35
  there
• 2:35
  was
• 2:36
  a
• 2:36
  teenage
• 2:36
  boy
• 2:37
  named
• 2:37
  Joseph
• 2:37
  Smith
• 2:38
  living
• 2:38
  in
• 2:38
  upstate
• 2:39
  New
• 2:39
  York.
• 2:40
  He
• 2:40
  had
• 2:41
  lots
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  questions.
• 2:42
  So
• 2:43
  many
• 2:43
  churches
• 2:43
  said
• 2:44
  different
• 2:44
  things.
• 2:45
  How
• 2:45
  could
• 2:46
  he
• 2:46
  know
• 2:46
  which
• 2:47
  one
• 2:47
  was
• 2:47
  right?
• 2:49
  So
• 2:49
  one
• 2:49
  day,
• 2:50
  Joseph
• 2:50
  walked
• 2:51
  into
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  quiet
• 2:51
  grove
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  trees
• 2:52
  and
• 2:53
  prayed.
• 2:54
  Just
• 2:54
  him,
• 2:55
  the
• 2:56
  trees,
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  his
• 2:57
  big
• 2:57
  questions.
• 2:59
  According
• 2:59
  to
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  story
• 3:00
  told
• 3:00
  by
• 3:00
  Latter
• 3:01
  Day
• 3:01
  Saints,
• 3:01
  something
• 3:02
  incredible
• 3:02
  happened.
• 3:03
  Joseph
• 3:04
  said
• 3:04
  that
• 3:04
  in
• 3:05
  that
• 3:05
  grove,
• 3:05
  God
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  Father
• 3:07
  and
• 3:07
  Jesus
• 3:07
  Christ
• 3:08
  appeared
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  him.
• 3:09
  They
• 3:09
  told
• 3:10
  him
• 3:10
  not
• 3:10
  to
• 3:10
  join
• 3:11
  any
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  churches
• 3:12
  around
• 3:12
  him,
• 3:13
  because
• 3:13
  something
• 3:14
  new,
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  restoration,
• 3:16
  was
• 3:17
  coming.
• 3:18
  A
• 3:18
  few
• 3:19
  years
• 3:19
  later,
• 3:19
  Joseph
• 3:20
  said
• 3:20
  an
• 3:21
  angel
• 3:21
  named
• 3:21
  Moroni
• 3:22
  visited
• 3:23
  him
• 3:23
  and
• 3:23
  told
• 3:23
  him
• 3:24
  about
• 3:24
  golden
• 3:24
  plates
• 3:25
  buried
• 3:25
  in
• 3:25
  a
• 3:25
  hill
• 3:26
  near
• 3:26
  his
• 3:26
  home.
• 3:27
  These
• 3:27
  plates,
• 3:28
  Joseph
• 3:28
  believed,
• 3:29
  held
• 3:30
  ancient
• 3:30
  writings
• 3:31
  from
• 3:31
  people
• 3:31
  who
• 3:32
  had
• 3:32
  lived
• 3:32
  in
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  Americas
• 3:33
  long
• 3:33
  ago.
• 3:34
  When,
• 3:35
  with
• 3:35
  help
• 3:35
  Joseph
• 3:36
  translated
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  plates
• 3:37
  into
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  Book
• 3:38
  of
• 3:38
  Mormon,
• 3:39
  a
• 3:40
  book
• 3:40
  Latter
• 3:40
  Day
• 3:40
  Saints
• 3:41
  read
• 3:41
  alongside
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  Bible.
• 3:43
  They
• 3:43
  believe
• 3:44
  both
• 3:44
  books
• 3:45
  teach
• 3:45
  about
• 3:45
  Jesus
• 3:46
  and
• 3:46
  God's
• 3:47
  plan
• 3:47
  for
• 3:47
  us.
• 3:49
  Latter
• 3:49
  Day
• 3:49
  Saints
• 3:50
  believe
• 3:50
  that
• 3:50
  Joseph
• 3:50
  Smith
• 3:51
  was
• 3:51
  called
• 3:51
  to
• 3:52
  be
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  prophet,
• 3:53
  which,
• 3:53
  like
• 3:53
  Moses
• 3:54
  or
• 3:54
  Noah
• 3:55
  or
• 3:55
  Isaiah
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  Bible,
• 3:56
  is
• 3:57
  someone
• 3:57
  chosen
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  lead.
• 3:59
  And
• 3:59
  since
• 3:59
  Joseph
• 4:00
  Smith,
• 4:00
  the
• 4:01
  church
• 4:01
  has
• 4:01
  always
• 4:01
  had
• 4:01
  a
• 4:02
  living
• 4:02
  prophet,
• 4:03
  a
• 4:03
  man
• 4:03
  who
• 4:03
  helps
• 4:04
  guide
• 4:04
  his
• 4:04
  men
• 4:05
  members
• 4:05
  with
• 4:05
  new
• 4:06
  teachings
• 4:06
  and
• 4:06
  reminders
• 4:07
  of
• 4:07
  God's
• 4:08
  love.
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  asked
• 4:09
  several
• 4:09
  kids
• 4:09
  from
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  Church
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  Jesus
• 4:11
  Christ
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  Latter
• 4:11
  Day
• 4:12
  Saints
• 4:12
  who
• 4:12
  their
• 4:12
  favorite
• 4:13
  prophet
• 4:13
  was,
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  top
• 4:14
  three
• 4:15
  answers
• 4:15
  were
• 4:16
  Joseph
• 4:16
  Smith,
• 4:17
  Brigham
• 4:18
  Young,
• 4:18
  who
• 4:18
  we
• 4:18
  will
• 4:18
  learn
• 4:19
  about
• 4:19
  in
• 4:19
  a
• 4:19
  minute,
• 4:20
  and
• 4:20
  Russell

  M.
• 4:21
  Nelson,
• 4:21
  who
• 4:21
  is
• 4:22
  their
• 4:22
  current
• 4:22
  prophet.
• 4:26
  So
• 4:26
  what
• 4:26
  do
• 4:27
  members
• 4:27
  of
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  Church
• 4:27
  of
• 4:28
  Jesus
• 4:28
  Christ
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  Latter
• 4:29
  Day
• 4:29
  Saints
• 4:29
  do?
• 4:31
  They
• 4:31
  go
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  church
• 4:32
  on
• 4:32
  Sundays.
• 4:33
  They
• 4:33
  study
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  scriptures
• 4:34
  with
• 4:34
  their
• 4:35
  families.
• 4:36
  They
• 4:36
  try
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  serve
• 4:37
  others,
• 4:38
  be
• 4:38
  honest,
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  show
• 4:39
  kindness
• 4:40
  every
• 4:40
  day.
• 4:42
  They
• 4:42
  also
• 4:42
  don't
• 4:43
  drink
• 4:43
  alcohol,
• 4:43
  coffee
• 4:44
  or
• 4:44
  tea.
• 4:45
  And
• 4:45
  they
• 4:45
  try

  keep

  their

  minds
• 4:46
  and

  bodies
• 4:47
  healthy.
• 4:48
  Many
• 4:48
  Latter
• 4:49
  Day
• 4:49
  Saints
• 4:49
  don't
• 4:50
  swear
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  dress
• 4:51
  modestly,
• 4:51
  showing
• 4:52
  respect
• 4:52
  for
• 4:53
  their
• 4:53
  bodies
• 4:53
  as
• 4:54
  gifts
• 4:54
  from
• 4:54
  God.
• 4:55
  Temples
• 4:56
  are
• 4:56
  especially
• 4:57
  important.
• 4:58
  They're
• 4:58
  not
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  same
• 4:59
  as
• 4:59
  regular
• 5:00
  meeting
• 5:00
  houses.
• 5:01
  Inside
• 5:02
  temples,
• 5:02
  members
• 5:03
  make
• 5:03
  sacred
• 5:04
  promises
• 5:04
  called
• 5:05
  covenants,
• 5:06
  like
• 5:06
  being
• 5:06
  married
• 5:07
  for
• 5:07
  eternity
• 5:08
  or
• 5:08
  being
• 5:09
  baptized
• 5:09
  for
• 5:10
  ancestors
• 5:10
  who
• 5:11
  died
• 5:11
  long
• 5:11
  ago.
• 5:12
  I
• 5:12
  used
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  think
• 5:14
  temples
• 5:14
  were
• 5:15
  castles.
• 5:16
  They
• 5:16
  even
• 5:16
  have
• 5:17
  sparkly
• 5:17
  gold
• 5:18
  statues
• 5:18
  on
• 5:19
  top.
• 5:19
  And
• 5:19
  when
• 5:20
  Latter
• 5:20
  day
• 5:20
  Saints
• 5:20
  turn
• 5:21
  18
• 5:21
  or
• 5:21
  19,
• 5:22
  many
• 5:22
  choose
• 5:22
  to
• 5:23
  go
• 5:23
  on
• 5:23
  missions,
• 5:24
  Spirit
• 5:24
  spending
• 5:24
  one
• 5:25
  and
• 5:25
  a

  half

  years

  to

  two

  whole
• 5:26
  years
• 5:27
  away
• 5:27
  from
• 5:27
  their
• 5:28
  home.
• 5:28
  They
• 5:28
  do
• 5:29
  this
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  share
• 5:30
  their
• 5:30
  beliefs,
• 5:31
  serve
• 5:31
  others,
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  try
• 5:32
  to
• 5:33
  live
• 5:33
  simply.
• 5:34
  You
• 5:34
  might
• 5:34
  have
• 5:34
  even
• 5:35
  seen
• 5:35
  some
• 5:35
  of
• 5:35
  them
• 5:36
  in
• 5:36
  your
• 5:36
  neighborhood,
• 5:37
  often
• 5:37
  wearing
• 5:37
  white
• 5:38
  shirts
• 5:38
  and
• 5:38
  name
• 5:39
  tags.
• 5:40
  Latter
• 5:40
  Day
• 5:40
  Saints
• 5:41
  believe
• 5:41
  in
• 5:41
  working
• 5:42
  hard,
• 5:42
  loving
• 5:43
  deeply,
• 5:43
  and
• 5:44
  trying
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  be
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  kind
• 5:44
  of
• 5:45
  people
• 5:45
  Jesus
• 5:45
  would
• 5:46
  be
• 5:46
  happy
• 5:46
  with.
• 5:47
  Now
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  we
• 5:47
  know
• 5:47
  who
• 5:48
  they
• 5:48
  are,
• 5:48
  let's
• 5:49
  find
• 5:49
  out
• 5:49
  where
• 5:50
  their
• 5:50
  biggest
• 5:50
  journey
• 5:51
  led
• 5:51
  them
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  why.
• 5:52
  It
• 5:52
  involved
• 5:52
  wagons,
• 5:53
  snowstorms,
• 5:55
  courage,
• 5:55
  and
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  whole
• 5:56
  lot
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  walking
• 5:58
  ready
• 5:58
  to
• 5:59
  hit
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  trail.
• 6:04
  Back
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  the
• 6:05
  1830s
• 6:05
  and
• 6:06
  1840s,
• 6:07
  after
• 6:07
  Joseph
• 6:07
  Smith
• 6:08
  founded
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  Church
• 6:09
  of
• 6:09
  Jesus
• 6:09
  Christ
• 6:10
  of
• 6:10
  Latter
• 6:10
  Day
• 6:10
  Saints,
• 6:11
  thousands
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  people
• 6:12
  started
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  join.
• 6:14
  They
• 6:14
  built
• 6:14
  communities,
• 6:15
  they
• 6:15
  started
• 6:16
  businesses,
• 6:16
  and
• 6:17
  they
• 6:17
  shared
• 6:17
  their
• 6:18
  faith.
• 6:19
  But
• 6:19
  not
• 6:19
  everyone
• 6:20
  liked
• 6:20
  that.
• 6:21
  Some
• 6:22
  people
• 6:22
  were
• 6:22
  afraid
• 6:22
  of
• 6:23
  this
• 6:23
  new
• 6:23
  religion.
• 6:24
  Others
• 6:24
  were
• 6:25
  angry
• 6:25
  because
• 6:25
  Latter
• 6:26
  Day
• 6:26
  Saints
• 6:27
  believed
• 6:27
  in
• 6:27
  living
• 6:28
  prophets
• 6:28
  and
• 6:28
  an
• 6:29
  extra
• 6:29
  set
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  scriptures
• 6:30
  beyond
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  Bible.
• 6:32
  And
• 6:32
  so
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  members
• 6:33
  of
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  Church
• 6:33
  of
• 6:33
  Jesus
• 6:34
  Christ
• 6:34
  faced
• 6:35
  persecution.
• 6:36
  Persecution
• 6:37
  means
• 6:37
  being
• 6:37
  treated
• 6:38
  badly
• 6:38
  or
• 6:39
  unfairly
• 6:39
  because
• 6:40
  of
• 6:40
  your
• 6:40
  beliefs.
• 6:41
  Some
• 6:42
  members
• 6:42
  were
• 6:42
  kicked
• 6:43
  out
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  their
• 6:43
  towns.
• 6:44
  Others
• 6:45
  printing
• 6:45
  presses
• 6:46
  were
• 6:46
  destroyed.
• 6:47
  Others,
• 6:48
  homes
• 6:48
  were
• 6:48
  burned.
• 6:50
  Some
• 6:50
  were
• 6:50
  even
• 6:50
  attacked
• 6:51
  Everyone
• 6:51
  started
• 6:52
  being
• 6:52
  mean
• 6:52
  to
• 6:53
  them.
• 6:53
  All
• 6:54
  they
• 6:54
  were
• 6:54
  doing
• 6:54
  was
• 6:54
  believing
• 6:55
  something
• 6:55
  different.
• 6:57
  Eventually,
• 6:57
  in
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  city
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  Nauvoo,
• 6:58
  Illinois,
• 6:59
  things
• 6:59
  got
• 6:59
  even
• 7:00
  worse.
• 7:01
  Joseph
• 7:01
  Smith
• 7:02
  and
• 7:02
  his
• 7:02
  brother
• 7:03
  Hyrum
• 7:03
  were
• 7:03
  arrested
• 7:04
  and
• 7:04
  taken
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  jail.
• 7:06
  While
• 7:06
  in
• 7:06
  jail,
• 7:07
  they
• 7:07
  were
• 7:07
  killed
• 7:07
  there
• 7:08
  by
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  mob.
• 7:09
  After
• 7:09
  Joseph's
• 7:10
  death,
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  church
• 7:11
  was
• 7:12
  devastated,
• 7:13
  but
• 7:13
  not
• 7:13
  destroyed.
• 7:14
  A
• 7:15
  new
• 7:15
  leader,
• 7:15
  Brigham
• 7:16
  Young,
• 7:16
  stepped
• 7:17
  forward
• 7:17
  and
• 7:18
  said
• 7:18
  it
• 7:18
  was
• 7:18
  time
• 7:18
  to
• 7:19
  find
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  place
• 7:20
  far
• 7:20
  away
• 7:21
  from
• 7:21
  danger,
• 7:22
  Somewhere
• 7:22
  they
• 7:22
  could
• 7:23
  worship
• 7:23
  freely.
• 7:24
  That
• 7:25
  meant
• 7:25
  heading
• 7:25
  west,
• 7:26
  way
• 7:27
  west,
• 7:28
  past
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  edge
• 7:28
  of
• 7:28
  the
• 7:29
  United
• 7:29
  States
• 7:29
  into
• 7:30
  unsettled
• 7:31
  land.
• 7:31
  They
• 7:32
  would
• 7:32
  walk,
• 7:33
  they
• 7:33
  would
• 7:33
  pull
• 7:34
  wagons,
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  they
• 7:35
  would
• 7:35
  start
• 7:35
  over.
• 7:38
  In
• 7:39
  1846,
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  first
• 7:40
  groups
• 7:41
  left
• 7:41
  Nauvoo,
• 7:42
  crossing
• 7:42
  the
• 7:43
  fro
• 7:43
  frozen
• 7:43
  Mississippi
• 7:44
  river
• 7:44
  on
• 7:45
  foot.
• 7:46
  Some
• 7:46
  wagons
• 7:47
  broke
• 7:47
  going
• 7:48
  through
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  ice.
• 7:49
  Some
• 7:49
  people
• 7:49
  got
• 7:49
  sick
• 7:50
  in
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  cold.
• 7:51
  They
• 7:52
  traveled
• 7:52
  west
• 7:52
  through
• 7:53
  Iowa
• 7:53
  and
• 7:54
  Nebraska,
• 7:55
  through
• 7:55
  rain,
• 7:56
  through
• 7:56
  mud,
• 7:57
  through
• 7:57
  hunger,
• 7:58
  then
• 7:59
  through
• 7:59
  Wyoming
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  into
• 8:01
  Utah.
• 8:02
  And
• 8:02
  it
• 8:02
  wasn't
• 8:03
  just
• 8:03
  a
• 8:03
  few
• 8:04
  people.
• 8:04
  By
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  end
• 8:05
  of
• 8:05
  the
• 8:06
  pioneer
• 8:06
  era,
• 8:07
  over
• 8:07
  70,000
• 8:08
  Latter
• 8:09
  Day
• 8:09
  Saints,
• 8:09
  men,
• 8:10
  women
• 8:10
  and
• 8:10
  children
• 8:11
  had
• 8:11
  made
• 8:11
  the
• 8:12
  journey.
• 8:13
  Some
• 8:13
  traveled
• 8:14
  in
• 8:14
  covered
• 8:14
  wagons,
• 8:15
  but
• 8:15
  many
• 8:15
  couldn't
• 8:16
  afford
• 8:16
  one.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:17
  they
• 8:17
  pulled
• 8:18
  small
• 8:18
  wooden
• 8:19
  carts
• 8:19
  by
• 8:19
  hand.
• 8:20
  These
• 8:21
  were
• 8:21
  called
• 8:21
  hand
• 8:22
  carts.
• 8:23
  Imagine
• 8:23
  something
• 8:23
  like
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  giant
• 8:24
  wooden
• 8:24
  wheelbarrow
• 8:25
  with
• 8:25
  no
• 8:26
  horse
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  pull
• 8:26
  it.
• 8:27
  Just
• 8:28
  you
• 8:29
  walking
• 8:29
  day
• 8:30
  after
• 8:31
  day.
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  get
• 8:31
  tired
• 8:32
  walking
• 8:32
  my
• 8:32
  mailbox.
• 8:33
  I
• 8:34
  cannot
• 8:34
  imagine
• 8:34
  dragging
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  giant
• 8:35
  wooden
• 8:36
  cart
• 8:36
  across
• 8:36
  the
• 8:36
  country.
• 8:37
  They
• 8:37
  had
• 8:37
  to
• 8:37
  carry
• 8:38
  everything
• 8:38
  they
• 8:38
  needed.
• 8:39
  Blankets,
• 8:40
  flower
• 8:40
  pots,
• 8:41
  Bibles,
• 8:41
  Book
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  Mormons.
• 8:42
  Maybe
• 8:43
  one
• 8:43
  toy
• 8:43
  or
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  picture
• 8:44
  if
• 8:44
  they
• 8:44
  had
• 8:45
  space.
• 8:46
  Some
• 8:47
  people
• 8:47
  froze
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  death
• 8:48
  in
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  mountains.
• 8:49
  Some
• 8:49
  starved,
• 8:50
  some
• 8:50
  turned
• 8:51
  back.
• 8:52
  But
• 8:52
  many
• 8:52
  kept
• 8:53
  going
• 8:53
  because
• 8:54
  their
• 8:54
  faith
• 8:54
  told
• 8:55
  them
• 8:55
  that
• 8:55
  their
• 8:56
  journey
• 8:56
  was
• 8:56
  worth
• 8:57
  it.
• 8:57
  They
• 8:58
  sang
• 8:59
  even
• 8:59
  when
• 8:59
  they
• 8:59
  were
• 8:59
  tired,
• 9:00
  even
• 9:01
  when
• 9:01
  they
• 9:01
  were
• 9:01
  scared,
• 9:02
  even
• 9:02
  when
• 9:03
  their
• 9:03
  shoes
• 9:03
  had
• 9:04
  holes.
• 9:05
  There's
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  song
• 9:06
  many
• 9:06
  children
• 9:06
  in
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  church
• 9:07
  still
• 9:08
  sing
• 9:08
  today.
• 9:09
  Pioneer
• 9:10
  children
• 9:11
  sing
• 9:12
  as
• 9:12
  they
• 9:13
  walked
• 9:14
  and
• 9:14
  walked
• 9:15
  and
• 9:15
  walked
• 9:16
  and
• 9:16
  walked.
• 9:19
  They
• 9:19
  weren't
• 9:20
  just
• 9:20
  adults.
• 9:21
  They
• 9:21
  were

  kids
• 9:22
  just
• 9:23
  like

  you.
• 9:24
  Kids
• 9:24
  who

  held
• 9:25
  their

  siblings
• 9:26
  hands,
• 9:27
  Kids
• 9:27
  who

  before

  on

  believed.
• 9:33
  Come
• 9:33
  be
• 9:33
  saved.
• 9:34
  The
• 9:35
  story
• 9:35
  goes,
• 9:35
  eventually,
• 9:36
  In
• 9:36
  July
• 9:37
  of
• 9:37
  1847,
• 9:38
  after
• 9:39
  a
• 9:39
  month
• 9:39
  of
• 9:39
  walking,
• 9:40
  climbing,
• 9:41
  freezing
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  hoping,
• 9:42
  the
• 9:43
  first
• 9:43
  group
• 9:43
  of
• 9:43
  pioneers
• 9:44
  reached
• 9:44
  the
• 9:45
  Salt
• 9:45
  Lake
• 9:45
  Valley.
• 9:46
  Brigham
• 9:47
  Young
• 9:47
  looked
• 9:47
  out
• 9:48
  at
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  wide
• 9:48
  open
• 9:49
  land
• 9:49
  and
• 9:49
  said,
• 9:49
  this
• 9:50
  is
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  right
• 9:50
  place.
• 9:50
  Drive
• 9:51
  on.
• 9:51
  And
• 9:51
  that's
• 9:52
  how
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  church
• 9:52
  began
• 9:53
  building
• 9:53
  a
• 9:53
  home
• 9:53
  in
• 9:54
  the
• 9:54
  desert.
• 9:55
  A
• 9:55
  home
• 9:55
  with
• 9:56
  room
• 9:56
  to
• 9:56
  believe.
• 9:59
  Okay,
• 10:00
  trailblazers.
• 10:01
  After
• 10:01
  all
• 10:01
  that
• 10:01
  walking
• 10:02
  and
• 10:02
  wondering,
• 10:03
  I
• 10:03
  don't
• 10:03
  know
• 10:03
  about
• 10:03
  you,
• 10:04
  but
• 10:04
  my
• 10:04
  toes
• 10:04
  are
• 10:05
  twitching
• 10:05
  and
• 10:05
  my
• 10:05
  muscles
• 10:06
  need
• 10:06
  a
• 10:06
  good
• 10:07
  pioneer
• 10:07
  style
• 10:08
  shakeout.
• 10:09
  It's
• 10:09
  time
• 10:09
  for
• 10:10
  a
• 10:10
  movement
• 10:10
  break.
• 10:11
  Let's
• 10:12
  get
• 10:12
  up
• 10:12
  and
• 10:12
  we're
• 10:12
  going
• 10:13
  to
• 10:13
  do
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  handcart
• 10:14
  hustle.
• 10:16
  So
• 10:16
  stand
• 10:16
  up
• 10:17
  right
• 10:17
  where
• 10:17
  you
• 10:17
  are,
• 10:18
  take
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  deep
• 10:19
  breath,
• 10:19
  and
• 10:19
  let's
• 10:20
  get
• 10:20
  into
• 10:20
  character.
• 10:22
  Imagine
• 10:22
  this.
• 10:23
  You're
• 10:24
  a
• 10:24
  pioneer
• 10:24
  kid.
• 10:25
  You've
• 10:25
  just
• 10:25
  crossed
• 10:26
  a
• 10:26
  river.
• 10:27
  Your
• 10:27
  socks
• 10:27
  are
• 10:28
  soggy,
• 10:28
  your
• 10:29
  arms
• 10:29
  are
• 10:29
  sore,
• 10:30
  your
• 10:30
  belly
• 10:31
  is
• 10:31
  rumbling,
• 10:32
  and.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:32
  in
• 10:33
  front
• 10:33
  of
• 10:33
  you
• 10:34
  is
• 10:34
  a
• 10:35
  really,
• 10:36
  really
• 10:37
  big
• 10:37
  hill.
• 10:38
  Ready?
• 10:40
  Reach
• 10:40
  your
• 10:40
  hands
• 10:41
  out
• 10:41
  in
• 10:41
  front
• 10:41
  of
• 10:41
  you
• 10:41
  like
• 10:41
  you're
• 10:42
  grabbing
• 10:42
  two
• 10:43
  big
• 10:43
  wooden
• 10:43
  handles.
• 10:44
  Now
• 10:44
  plant
• 10:44
  your
• 10:45
  feet
• 10:45
  wide
• 10:45
  and
• 10:46
  bend
• 10:46
  your
• 10:46
  knees
• 10:46
  slightly
• 10:47
  like
• 10:47
  you're
• 10:48
  getting
• 10:48
  ready
• 10:49
  to
• 10:49
  pull
• 10:49
  something
• 10:50
  heavy.
• 10:51
  Pretend
• 10:51
  to
• 10:52
  pull
• 10:52
  that
• 10:52
  part
• 10:52
  forward
• 10:53
  four
• 10:53
  steps.
• 10:54
  Ready?

  4.
• 10:59
  Now
• 10:59
  lean
• 10:59
  in
• 11:00
  and
• 11:00
  act
• 11:00
  like
• 11:01
  you're
• 11:01
  walking
• 11:01
  up
• 11:02
  a
• 11:02
  steep
• 11:02
  hill,
• 11:03
  tugging
• 11:03
  it
• 11:04
  again.
• 11:04
  1,
• 11:05
  2,
• 11:06
  3,
• 11:06
  4.
• 11:08
  Can
• 11:08
  you
• 11:08
  feel
• 11:08
  that
• 11:09
  weight?
• 11:09
  That's
• 11:10
  your
• 11:10
  flower,
• 11:11
  your
• 11:11
  blanket,
• 11:11
  your
• 11:12
  grandma's
• 11:12
  good
• 11:12
  skillet.
• 11:14
  Oh,
• 11:14
  no.
• 11:15
  The
• 11:15
  wheel
• 11:15
  is
• 11:16
  stuck
• 11:16
  in
• 11:16
  a
• 11:16
  patch
• 11:17
  of
• 11:17
  mud.
• 11:18
  Squat
• 11:19
  down
• 11:19
  low,
• 11:20
  knees
• 11:20
  bent.
• 11:21
  All
• 11:21
  right,
• 11:21
  we're
• 11:21
  gonna
• 11:22
  try
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  squat
• 11:23
  again.
• 11:23
  And
• 11:23
  get
• 11:23
  that
• 11:24
  wheel
• 11:24
  loose.
• 11:25
  And.
• 11:25
  And
• 11:26
  now
• 11:26
  make
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  mud
• 11:27
  sound.
• 11:27
  Slurp.
• 11:29
  All
• 11:29
  right,
• 11:29
  do
• 11:29
  it
• 11:29
  again.
• 11:30
  Squat.
• 11:31
  Let's
• 11:32
  hear
• 11:32
  it
• 11:32
  louder.
• 11:33
  Slurped.
• 11:35
  One
• 11:35
  more
• 11:36
  big
• 11:36
  squat.
• 11:38
  And
• 11:38
  heave.
• 11:39
  Lift
• 11:39
  your
• 11:40
  arms
• 11:40
  up
• 11:40
  and
• 11:40
  pull
• 11:41
  that
• 11:41
  cart
• 11:41
  free
• 11:42
  of
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  mud.
• 11:44
  Woo.
• 11:45
  Now
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  clouds
• 11:46
  are
• 11:46
  turning
• 11:47
  dark.
• 11:48
  A
• 11:48
  prairie
• 11:49
  thunderstorm
• 11:49
  is
• 11:49
  coming.
• 11:50
  Quick,
• 11:51
  run
• 11:51
  in
• 11:52
  place.
• 11:52
  Your
• 11:53
  boots
• 11:53
  are
• 11:53
  squelching.
• 11:54
  Your
• 11:54
  bonnet
• 11:55
  is
• 11:55
  flapping.
• 11:56
  Now
• 11:56
  cover
• 11:57
  your
• 11:57
  head
• 11:57
  and
• 11:57
  crouch
• 11:57
  down
• 11:58
  low
• 11:58
  like
• 11:58
  you're
• 11:59
  sheltering
• 12:00
  under
• 12:00
  your
• 12:00
  cart.
• 12:01
  Hold
• 12:02
  still
• 12:02
  and
• 12:03
  listen
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  wind.
• 12:06
  Now
• 12:06
  peek
• 12:06
  out.
• 12:07
  Phew.
• 12:08
  The
• 12:08
  sun
• 12:09
  is
• 12:09
  shining
• 12:09
  again.
• 12:10
  Stand
• 12:11
  tall
• 12:11
  and
• 12:11
  shake
• 12:12
  off
• 12:12
  all
• 12:12
  that
• 12:13
  rain.
• 12:14
  You've
• 12:14
  made
• 12:14
  it
• 12:14
  to
• 12:14
  camp.
• 12:15
  Celebrate
• 12:16
  with
• 12:16
  a
• 12:16
  little
• 12:16
  jig.
• 12:18
  Bounce
• 12:18
  your
• 12:18
  knees,
• 12:19
  twirl
• 12:19
  in
• 12:20
  a
• 12:20
  circle.
• 12:20
  Slap
• 12:21
  your
• 12:21
  pretend
• 12:22
  boots
• 12:22
  and
• 12:22
  tug
• 12:22
  your
• 12:23
  imaginary
• 12:23
  suspenders.
• 12:25
  All
• 12:25
  right,
• 12:26
  take
• 12:26
  a
• 12:26
  bow,
• 12:26
  you
• 12:27
  tough
• 12:27
  little
• 12:27
  traveler.
• 12:28
  That,
• 12:29
  my
• 12:29
  friends,
• 12:29
  was
• 12:30
  the
• 12:30
  hand
• 12:30
  cart.
• 12:31
  Hustle.
• 12:32
  Now
• 12:32
  grab
• 12:33
  some
• 12:33
  pretend
• 12:33
  water
• 12:34
  from
• 12:34
  your
• 12:34
  canteen.
• 12:35
  Or
• 12:36
  maybe
• 12:36
  some
• 12:36
  real
• 12:37
  water.
• 12:38
  Take
• 12:38
  a
• 12:38
  few
• 12:38
  deep
• 12:39
  breaths
• 12:40
  and
• 12:40
  settle
• 12:40
  back
• 12:41
  into
• 12:41
  your
• 12:41
  seat.
• 12:43
  Knock,
• 12:43
  knock.
• 12:44
  Who's
• 12:44
  there?
• 12:44
  Utah.
• 12:45
  Utah
• 12:46
  who?
• 12:46
  Totally
• 12:47
  need
• 12:47
  to
• 12:48
  rest
• 12:48
  after
• 12:48
  that.
• 12:49
  We've
• 12:49
  got
• 12:49
  more
• 12:50
  exploring
• 12:50
  to
• 12:51
  do.
• 12:53
  Dust
• 12:53
  off
• 12:53
  your
• 12:53
  party
• 12:54
  hat
• 12:54
  and
• 12:54
  save
• 12:55
  me
• 12:55
  a
• 12:55
  slice
• 12:55
  of
• 12:56
  homemade
• 12:56
  pie,
• 12:57
  because
• 12:57
  we're
• 12:57
  about
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  learn
• 12:58
  about
• 12:58
  a
• 12:59
  real
• 12:59
  holiday
• 12:59
  that
• 13:00
  thousands
• 13:00
  of
• 13:00
  families
• 13:01
  still
• 13:01
  celebrate
• 13:02
  every
• 13:02
  year.
• 13:03
  Especially
• 13:04
  in
• 13:04
  Utah.
• 13:05
  It's
• 13:05
  called
• 13:06
  Pioneer
• 13:06
  Day,
• 13:07
  and
• 13:07
  it
• 13:07
  takes
• 13:07
  place
• 13:08
  on
• 13:08
  July
• 13:09
  24.
• 13:10
  Why
• 13:11
  that
• 13:11
  day?
• 13:12
  Because
• 13:12
  on
• 13:12
  July
• 13:13
  24,
• 13:14
  1847,
• 13:15
  after
• 13:15
  months
• 13:15
  and
• 13:16
  months
• 13:16
  of
• 13:16
  trekking
• 13:17
  across
• 13:18
  rivers,
• 13:18
  mountains,
• 13:19
  deserts
• 13:19
  in
• 13:20
  danger,
• 13:21
  the
• 13:21
  very
• 13:21
  first
• 13:21
  group
• 13:22
  of
• 13:22
  Latter
• 13:22
  Day
• 13:22
  Saints
• 13:23
  pioneers
• 13:23
  rolled
• 13:24
  into
• 13:24
  the
• 13:24
  Salt
• 13:24
  Lake
• 13:25
  Valley.
• 13:26
  Brigham
• 13:26
  Young
• 13:26
  was
• 13:27
  said
• 13:27
  to
• 13:27
  be
• 13:27
  sick
• 13:27
  in
• 13:27
  the
• 13:28
  back
• 13:28
  of
• 13:28
  a
• 13:28
  wagon
• 13:28
  when
• 13:29
  they
• 13:29
  arrived.
• 13:29
  But
• 13:30
  when
• 13:30
  he
• 13:30
  stood
• 13:30
  up
• 13:30
  and
• 13:31
  saw
• 13:31
  the
• 13:31
  land
• 13:31
  dusty
• 13:32
  and
• 13:32
  wide,
• 13:33
  he
• 13:33
  might
• 13:33
  have
• 13:34
  said
• 13:34
  something
• 13:34
  that
• 13:34
  would
• 13:34
  later
• 13:35
  become
• 13:35
  famous.
• 13:36
  This
• 13:36
  is
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  right
• 13:36
  place.
• 13:37
  Drive
• 13:37
  on.
• 13:38
  And
• 13:38
  just
• 13:38
  like
• 13:38
  that,
• 13:39
  a
• 13:39
  new
• 13:39
  chapter
• 13:40
  began.
• 13:40
  They
• 13:41
  unpacked.
• 13:41
  They
• 13:42
  planted
• 13:42
  crops.
• 13:43
  They
• 13:43
  dug
• 13:44
  canals
• 13:44
  and
• 13:44
  built
• 13:45
  homes
• 13:45
  and
• 13:45
  churches.
• 13:46
  They
• 13:46
  started
• 13:47
  schools
• 13:47
  and
• 13:47
  sang
• 13:48
  songs
• 13:48
  again.
• 13:49
  Their
• 13:49
  long
• 13:50
  journey
• 13:50
  was
• 13:50
  over,
• 13:51
  but
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  hard
• 13:52
  work

  Fast

  forward

  Pioneer

  Day
• 13:55
  is
• 13:55
  a
• 13:56
  big

  deal.
• 13:56
  In
• 13:56
  Utah,
• 13:57
  people
• 13:57
  celebrate
• 13:58
  with

  that

  even

  floats

  like

  covered

  There's

  fireworks,
• 14:07
  carnivals
• 14:08
  and
• 14:08
  fun
• 14:08
  runs.
• 14:09
  You'll
• 14:09
  see
• 14:10
  families
• 14:10
  having
• 14:10
  picnics,
• 14:11
  telling
• 14:11
  stories
• 14:12
  about
• 14:12
  ancestors,
• 14:13
  and
• 14:13
  sometimes
• 14:14
  dressing
• 14:14
  up
• 14:14
  like
• 14:15
  pioneers
• 14:15
  just
• 14:16
  for
• 14:16
  fun.
• 14:17
  Some
• 14:17
  communities
• 14:18
  even
• 14:18
  hold
• 14:18
  Pioneer

  Trek
• 14:19
  reenactments,
• 14:20
  where
• 14:20
  kids

  and
• 14:21
  teens
• 14:21
  dress
• 14:21
  like

  pioneers
• 14:22
  and
• 14:22
  walk
• 14:23
  several
• 14:23
  miles
• 14:24
  pulling
• 14:24
  wooden
• 14:24
  handcarts
• 14:27
  to
• 14:28
  get
• 14:28
  a
• 14:28
  small
• 14:28
  taste
• 14:29
  of
• 14:29
  what
• 14:29
  it
• 14:29
  might
• 14:29
  have
• 14:29
  felt
• 14:30
  like.
• 14:31
  Others
• 14:31
  honor
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  day
• 14:32
  more
• 14:32
  quietly
• 14:33
  by
• 14:33
  visiting
• 14:33
  family
• 14:34
  graves,
• 14:34
  reading

  journals
• 14:35
  from

  or

  writing
• 14:37
  down
• 14:37
  their

  spiritual
• 14:38
  journey.
• 14:40
  And
• 14:40
  here's
• 14:40
  something
• 14:40
  you
• 14:41
  might
• 14:41
  not
• 14:41
  know.
• 14:42
  Some
• 14:42
  people
• 14:42
  who
• 14:42
  celebrate
• 14:43
  Pioneer
• 14:43
  Day
• 14:44
  aren't
• 14:44
  even
• 14:44
  part
• 14:45
  of
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  Church
• 14:45
  of
• 14:45
  Jesus
• 14:46
  Christ
• 14:46
  of
• 14:46
  Latter
• 14:46
  Day
• 14:47
  Saints.
• 14:47
  But
• 14:48
  they
• 14:48
  still
• 14:48
  celebrate
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  bravery
• 14:49
  of
• 14:50
  people
• 14:50
  who
• 14:50
  followed
• 14:51
  their
• 14:51
  beliefs
• 14:51
  and
• 14:51
  helped
• 14:52
  build
• 14:52
  a
• 14:52
  community
• 14:53
  with
• 14:53
  hope
• 14:53
  and
• 14:54
  hard
• 14:54
  work.
• 14:56
  So,
• 14:56
  explorers,
• 14:56
  what
• 14:57
  would
• 14:57
  your
• 14:57
  wagon
• 14:57
  be
• 14:58
  full
• 14:58
  of
• 14:58
  if
• 14:58
  you
• 14:58
  were
• 14:59
  on
• 14:59
  a
• 14:59
  modern
• 14:59
  day
• 15:00
  trek?
• 15:01
  Books?
• 15:02
  Snacks?
• 15:03
  Extra
• 15:03
  socks?
• 15:04
  Maybe
• 15:04
  a
• 15:04
  flashlight?
• 15:05
  A
• 15:05
  kindness
• 15:06
  journal?
• 15:07
  I
• 15:07
  don't
• 15:07
  know,
• 15:07
  maybe
• 15:07
  a
• 15:08
  giant
• 15:08
  jar
• 15:08
  of
• 15:08
  peanut
• 15:08
  butter.
• 15:09
  Let's
• 15:10
  take
• 15:10
  a
• 15:10
  little
• 15:10
  break
• 15:10
  to
• 15:11
  imagine
• 15:11
  what
• 15:11
  it
• 15:11
  would
• 15:11
  feel
• 15:12
  like
• 15:12
  to
• 15:12
  be
• 15:12
  a
• 15:12
  kid
• 15:13
  on
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  trail.
• 15:16
  You
• 15:16
  are
• 15:16
  standing
• 15:17
  next
• 15:17
  to
• 15:17
  a
• 15:17
  covered
• 15:17
  wagon
• 15:18
  early
• 15:18
  in
• 15:18
  the
• 15:19
  morning.
• 15:19
  The
• 15:19
  air
• 15:20
  smells
• 15:20
  like
• 15:20
  smoke
• 15:21
  from
• 15:21
  a
• 15:21
  nearby
• 15:22
  campfire.
• 15:22
  Your
• 15:23
  feet
• 15:23
  crunch
• 15:23
  on
• 15:23
  dry
• 15:24
  grass
• 15:24
  and
• 15:24
  scattered
• 15:25
  pebbles.
• 15:26
  There's
• 15:26
  a
• 15:27
  wheel
• 15:27
  rut
• 15:27
  in
• 15:27
  the
• 15:28
  dirt
• 15:28
  beside
• 15:29
  you.
• 15:29
  Grooves
• 15:30
  carved
• 15:30
  by
• 15:30
  all
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  wagons
• 15:31
  that
• 15:31
  came
• 15:32
  before
• 15:32
  yours.
• 15:33
  Your
• 15:33
  legs
• 15:34
  feel
• 15:34
  stiff
• 15:35
  from
• 15:35
  yesterday's
• 15:36
  miles,
• 15:36
  but
• 15:36
  there's
• 15:37
  no
• 15:37
  time
• 15:37
  to
• 15:37
  be
• 15:38
  tired.
• 15:38
  Today
• 15:39
  is
• 15:39
  another
• 15:39
  walking
• 15:40
  day.
• 15:40
  You

  help

• 15:41
  little
• 15:41
  sister
• 15:42
  button
• 15:42
  her
• 15:42
  shoes.
• 15:43
  She's
• 15:44
  only
• 15:44
  five.
• 15:45
  She
• 15:45
  misses
• 15:46
  her
• 15:46
  dolls.
• 15:47
  You
• 15:47
  tied
• 15:47
  a
• 15:48
  string
• 15:48
  to
• 15:48
  a
• 15:49
  piece
• 15:49
  of
• 15:49
  cloth
• 15:49
  for
• 15:49
  her
• 15:50
  to
• 15:50
  carry
• 15:50
  as
• 15:50
  a

  pretend
• 15:51
  pet.
• 15:51
  Yesterday
• 15:52
  it
• 15:52
  helped
• 15:53
  a
• 15:53
  little.
• 15:54
  You
• 15:54
  reach
• 15:55
  into
• 15:55
  the
• 15:55
  sack
• 15:55
  that
• 15:55
  holds
• 15:56
  your
• 15:56
  family's
• 15:57
  food.
• 15:57
  There's
• 15:58
  not
• 15:58
  much
• 15:58
  left
• 15:59
  today.
• 15:59
  A
• 16:00
  few
• 16:00
  biscuits,
• 16:01
  some
• 16:01
  jerky.
• 16:02
  Ooh.
• 16:03
  At
• 16:03
  the
• 16:04
  bottom,
• 16:04
  a
• 16:04
  strip
• 16:04
  of
• 16:04
  dried
• 16:05
  apple.
• 16:05
  You
• 16:05
  chew
• 16:06
  slowly.
• 16:07
  You're
• 16:07
  saving
• 16:08
  it
• 16:08
  in
• 16:08
  your
• 16:08
  mouth,
• 16:09
  stretching
• 16:10
  it
• 16:10
  out
• 16:10
  as
• 16:10
  long
• 16:11
  as
• 16:11
  you
• 16:11
  can.
• 16:12
  You
• 16:12
  wrap
• 16:13
  your
• 16:13
  scarf
• 16:13
  around
• 16:13
  your
• 16:14
  hands
• 16:14
  and
• 16:14
  grip
• 16:14
  the
• 16:15
  handles.
• 16:16
  Your
• 16:16
  hands
• 16:17
  have
• 16:17
  calluses
• 16:18
  you
• 16:18
  didn't
• 16:18
  have
• 16:18
  two
• 16:19
  months
• 16:19
  ago.
• 16:19
  Your
• 16:20
  shoulders
• 16:20
  ache.
• 16:21
  Your
• 16:21
  arms
• 16:21
  are
• 16:22
  sore.
• 16:23
  You
• 16:23
  Move
• 16:23
  forward.
• 16:25
  One
• 16:25
  step,
• 16:26
  another
• 16:27
  and
• 16:28
  another.
• 16:29
  Hours
• 16:29
  pass.
• 16:30
  You
• 16:30
  hear
• 16:30
  the
• 16:30
  creak
• 16:31
  of
• 16:31
  the
• 16:31
  wagon
• 16:31
  wheels.
• 16:32
  You
• 16:33
  sing
• 16:33
  under
• 16:33
  your
• 16:33
  breath
• 16:34
  to
• 16:34
  keep
• 16:34
  your
• 16:34
  mind
• 16:35
  busy.
• 16:36
  Sometimes
• 16:37
  you
• 16:37
  see
• 16:37
  something
• 16:38
  strange.
• 16:39
  Buffalo
• 16:39
  bones.
• 16:40
  An
• 16:40
  old
• 16:41
  boot.
• 16:42
  A
• 16:42
  button.
• 16:43
  Once
• 16:44
  you
• 16:44
  found
• 16:44
  a
• 16:44
  small
• 16:44
  wooden
• 16:45
  whistle
• 16:45
  and
• 16:45
  gave
• 16:46
  it
• 16:46
  to
• 16:46
  your
• 16:46
  younger
• 16:46
  brother.
• 16:48
  Sometimes
• 16:48
  you
• 16:48
  walk
• 16:49
  in
• 16:49
  silence.
• 16:50
  Sometimes
• 16:51
  you
• 16:51
  talk
• 16:51
  to
• 16:51
  God.
• 16:52
  A
• 16:53
  storm
• 16:53
  is
• 16:53
  coming.
• 16:54
  The
• 16:54
  air
• 16:55
  smells
• 16:55
  like
• 16:55
  wet
• 16:56
  dirt.
• 16:57
  You
• 16:57
  help
• 16:57
  your
• 16:57
  family
• 16:58
  stretch
• 16:58
  a
• 16:58
  canvas
• 16:59
  sheet
• 16:59
  over
• 16:59
  the
• 16:59
  wagon.
• 17:00
  As
• 17:00
  the
• 17:00
  first
• 17:00
  fat
• 17:01
  drops
• 17:01
  of
• 17:02
  rain
• 17:02
  start
• 17:02
  to
• 17:02
  fall,
• 17:03
  you
• 17:04
  crawl
• 17:04
  underneath
• 17:05
  and
• 17:05
  huddle
• 17:05
  close.
• 17:06
  It's
• 17:07
  dark
• 17:07
  and
• 17:07
  someone
• 17:08
  has
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  lantern
• 17:09
  glowing
• 17:09
  faintly.
• 17:11
  You
• 17:11
  hear
• 17:11
  the
• 17:11
  thump
• 17:12
  of
• 17:12
  rain
• 17:12
  on
• 17:12
  the
• 17:13
  canvas
• 17:13
  above.
• 17:13
  You
• 17:14
  Drip,
• 17:15
  trip,
• 17:16
  drip.
• 17:17
  The
• 17:18
  storm
• 17:18
  passes
• 17:19
  just
• 17:19
  like
• 17:19
  all
• 17:19
  the
• 17:20
  others.
• 17:20
  And
• 17:21
  tomorrow
• 17:21
  you'll
• 17:22
  wake
• 17:22
  up
• 17:23
  and
• 17:23
  walk
• 17:23
  again.
• 17:25
  But
• 17:25
  then
• 17:26
  one
• 17:27
  day,
• 17:27
  you
• 17:28
  crest
• 17:28
  a
• 17:28
  hill
• 17:29
  and
• 17:29
  look
• 17:29
  out
• 17:29
  over
• 17:30
  a
• 17:30
  green
• 17:30
  valley
• 17:31
  surrounded
• 17:31
  by
• 17:31
  mountains.
• 17:33
  There's
• 17:33
  a
• 17:33
  stream,
• 17:34
  a
• 17:34
  breeze,
• 17:35
  wildflowers.
• 17:37
  Your
• 17:38
  mother
• 17:38
  gasps.
• 17:39
  Your
• 17:39
  father
• 17:39
  stares.
• 17:40
  A
• 17:41
  voice
• 17:41
  behind
• 17:41
  you
• 17:41
  says,
• 17:43
  this
• 17:43
  is
• 17:43
  the
• 17:43
  place.
• 17:45
  You

• 18:01
  their
• 18:01
  faith
• 18:02
  filled
• 18:03
  journey.
• 18:04
  But
• 18:04
  now
• 18:04
  it's
• 18:04
  time
• 18:05
  to
• 18:05
  play
• 18:05
  trail
• 18:05
  tale
• 18:06
  or
• 18:06
  true.
• 18:07
  Here's
• 18:08
  how
• 18:08
  it
• 18:08
  works.
• 18:09
  I'm
• 18:09
  going
• 18:09
  to
• 18:09
  tell
• 18:09
  you
• 18:09
  something
• 18:10
  that
• 18:10
  might
• 18:10
  have
• 18:10
  happened
• 18:11
  on
• 18:11
  the
• 18:11
  pioneer
• 18:12
  trail.
• 18:13
  If
• 18:13
  you
• 18:13
  think
• 18:13
  it
• 18:14
  really
• 18:14
  happened,
• 18:14
  shout.
• 18:15
  True.
• 18:16
  But
• 18:17
  if
• 18:17
  it
• 18:17
  sounds
• 18:17
  a
• 18:17
  little
• 18:18
  too
• 18:18
  wacky
• 18:18
  or
• 18:19
  made
• 18:19
  up,
• 18:19
  shout.
• 18:20
  Trail
• 18:20
  taa.
• 18:22
  Got
• 18:22
  it.
• 18:23
  Let's
• 18:23
  try
• 18:23
  one
• 18:24
  together.
• 18:24
  To
• 18:24
  warm
• 18:24
  up,
• 18:25
  some
• 18:25
  pioneers
• 18:26
  packed
• 18:26
  five
• 18:27
  tubs
• 18:27
  of
• 18:27
  bubblegum
• 18:28
  and
• 18:28
  a
• 18:28
  Nintendo
• 18:29
  switch
• 18:29
  for
• 18:29
  the
• 18:29
  journey.
• 18:34
  Trail
• 18:35
  tail.
• 18:35
  You
• 18:36
  got
• 18:36
  it.
• 18:36
  Trail
• 18:36
  tail.
• 18:37
  No
• 18:37
  gum,
• 18:38
  no
• 18:38
  gadgets,
• 18:39
  just
• 18:39
  grit.
• 18:40
  Alright,
• 18:40
  let's
• 18:40
  keep
• 18:41
  going.
• 18:41
  Some
• 18:42
  pioneer
• 18:42
  kids
• 18:43
  had
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  walk
• 18:43
  the
• 18:43
  whole
• 18:44
  way
• 18:44
  over
• 18:44
  1,000
• 18:45
  miles
• 18:45
  without
• 18:46
  shoes.
• 18:51
  True,
• 18:52
  you're
• 18:52
  right.
• 18:53
  Some
• 18:53
  kids
• 18:53
  shoes
• 18:54
  wore
• 18:54
  out
• 18:54
  early
• 18:54
  in
• 18:54
  the
• 18:55
  journey
• 18:55
  and
• 18:55
  there
• 18:55
  was
• 18:56
  no
• 18:56
  Amazon
• 18:56
  truck
• 18:57
  to
• 18:57
  bring
• 18:57
  replacements.
• 18:58
  So
• 18:59
  they
• 18:59
  walked
• 18:59
  barefoot
• 19:00
  over
• 19:00
  rocks,
• 19:01
  dirt
• 19:01
  and
• 19:01
  sometimes
• 19:02
  even
• 19:02
  snow.
• 19:04
  What
• 19:04
  about
• 19:04
  this
• 19:05
  one?
• 19:05
  Pioneers
• 19:06
  used
• 19:06
  giant
• 19:07
  balloons
• 19:08
  to
• 19:08
  float
• 19:08
  their
• 19:08
  wagons
• 19:09
  over
• 19:09
  rivers.
• 19:14
  Trail
• 19:14
  tail.
• 19:15
  Yep,
• 19:15
  that
• 19:15
  would
• 19:15
  have
• 19:16
  been
• 19:16
  cool.
• 19:16
  But
• 19:16
  nope,
• 19:17
  they
• 19:17
  had
• 19:18
  to
• 19:18
  ford
• 19:18
  rivers,
• 19:19
  which
• 19:20
  means
• 19:20
  walking
• 19:21
  or
• 19:21
  riding
• 19:22
  through
• 19:22
  the
• 19:22
  water.
• 19:23
  Sometimes
• 19:23
  they
• 19:24
  lost
• 19:24
  belongings
• 19:25
  and
• 19:25
  sometimes
• 19:25
  the
• 19:26
  crossing
• 19:26
  was
• 19:26
  very
• 19:27
  dangerous.
• 19:28
  The
• 19:28
  next
• 19:29
  one.
• 19:30
  Some
• 19:30
  people
• 19:30
  were
• 19:31
  baptized
• 19:31
  in
• 19:31
  freezing
• 19:32
  rivers
• 19:32
  during
• 19:33
  the
• 19:33
  journey
• 19:33
  west.
• 19:38
  They
• 19:39
  sure
• 19:39
  were.
• 19:40
  Even
• 19:40
  when
• 19:40
  the
• 19:41
  water
• 19:41
  was
• 19:41
  icy
• 19:42
  cold.
• 19:42
  For
• 19:43
  many,
• 19:43
  their
• 19:43
  faith
• 19:44
  was
• 19:44
  so
• 19:44
  strong
• 19:45
  that
• 19:45
  they
• 19:45
  didn't
• 19:45
  want
• 19:45
  to
• 19:46
  wait
• 19:46
  to
• 19:46
  get
• 19:46
  to
• 19:46
  Utah
• 19:47
  to
• 19:47
  make
• 19:47
  those
• 19:47
  sacred
• 19:48
  promises.
• 19:49
  One
• 19:49
  pioneer
• 19:50
  girl
• 19:50
  carried
• 19:51
  a
• 19:51
  kitten
• 19:51
  inside
• 19:52
  her
• 19:52
  apron
• 19:52
  for
• 19:53
  hundreds
• 19:53
  of
• 19:54
  miles.
• 19:58
  True?
• 19:59
  Yes.
• 20:00
  Her
• 20:00
  name
• 20:00
  was
• 20:01
  Ellen
• 20:01
  Pucelle.
• 20:02
  Unthink.
• 20:03
  And
• 20:03
  Even
• 20:03
  though
• 20:03
  she
• 20:04
  faced
• 20:04
  frostbite
• 20:05
  and
• 20:05
  enormous
• 20:06
  hardship,
• 20:07
  she
• 20:07
  protected
• 20:07
  her
• 20:08
  kitten
• 20:08
  the
• 20:08
  whole
• 20:09
  way.
• 20:09
  That's
• 20:10
  my
• 20:10
  kind
• 20:10
  of
• 20:11
  girl.
• 20:12
  Pioneer
• 20:12
  wagons
• 20:13
  had
• 20:13
  bathrooms
• 20:14
  and
• 20:14
  bunk
• 20:14
  beds
• 20:15
  inside.
• 20:19
  Trail
• 20:20
  tail,
• 20:20
  for
• 20:21
  sure.
• 20:21
  Not
• 20:22
  wagons
• 20:22
  were
• 20:23
  basically
• 20:23
  just
• 20:23
  wooden
• 20:24
  boxes
• 20:24
  on
• 20:24
  wheels.
• 20:25
  If
• 20:25
  you
• 20:25
  had
• 20:26
  a
• 20:26
  mattress
• 20:26
  or
• 20:26
  even
• 20:27
  a
• 20:27
  thicker
• 20:27
  blanket
• 20:27
  to
• 20:28
  lay
• 20:28
  on,
• 20:28
  you
• 20:28
  were
• 20:29
  lucky.
• 20:30
  And
• 20:30
  the
• 20:30
  bathroom,
• 20:31
  well,
• 20:32
  let's
• 20:32
  just
• 20:32
  say
• 20:33
  it
• 20:33
  was
• 20:33
  wherever
• 20:33
  the
• 20:33
  prairie
• 20:34
  let
• 20:34
  you
• 20:34
  go.
• 20:35
  You
• 20:36
  did
• 20:36
  amazing,
• 20:37
  explorers.
• 20:40
  Whether
• 20:40
  you
• 20:40
  guessed
• 20:41
  true
• 20:41
  or
• 20:41
  shouted
• 20:42
  trail
• 20:42
  tale
• 20:42
  with
• 20:43
  gusto,
• 20:44
  you
• 20:44
  used
• 20:44
  your
• 20:44
  brain
• 20:45
  and
• 20:45
  your
• 20:45
  heart
• 20:46
  to
• 20:46
  think
• 20:46
  about
• 20:46
  what
• 20:46
  life
• 20:47
  might
• 20:47
  have
• 20:47
  been
• 20:47
  like
• 20:47
  back
• 20:48
  then.
• 20:49
  Guess
• 20:49
  what?
• 20:50
  There
• 20:50
  are
• 20:51
  more
• 20:51
  journeys
• 20:51
  like
• 20:52
  this
• 20:52
  in
• 20:52
  the
• 20:52
  world.
• 20:53
  People
• 20:53
  of
• 20:53
  many
• 20:54
  faiths
• 20:54
  and
• 20:55
  cultures
• 20:56
  who
• 20:56
  travel,
• 20:57
  wander,
• 20:58
  and
• 20:58
  search
• 20:58
  for
• 20:59
  something
• 20:59
  sacred.
• 21:02
  We're
• 21:02
  going
• 21:02
  to
• 21:02
  talk
• 21:02
  about
• 21:03
  how
• 21:03
  the
• 21:03
  pioneer
• 21:04
  story
• 21:05
  connects
• 21:05
  to
• 21:05
  theirs
• 21:06
  on
• 21:06
  what
• 21:06
  we
• 21:07
  call
• 21:07
  our
• 21:07
  friendship
• 21:08
  bridge.
• 21:11
  Long,
• 21:11
  long
• 21:11
  ago,
• 21:11
  there
• 21:12
  was
• 21:12
  a
• 21:12
  group
• 21:12
  of
• 21:12
  people
• 21:13
  called
• 21:13
  the
• 21:13
  Israelites,
• 21:14
  and
• 21:14
  they
• 21:15
  were
• 21:15
  living
• 21:15
  in
• 21:15
  Egypt,
• 21:16
  but
• 21:16
  not
• 21:17
  by
• 21:17
  choice.
• 21:18
  They
• 21:18
  were
• 21:18
  being
• 21:19
  forced
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  work
• 21:19
  as
• 21:20
  slaves.
• 21:21
  Then
• 21:21
  came
• 21:22
  a
• 21:22
  man
• 21:22
  named
• 21:22
  Moses.
• 21:23
  He
• 21:24
  was
• 21:24
  a
• 21:24
  prophet
• 21:24
  who
• 21:25
  stood
• 21:25
  up
• 21:25
  to
• 21:25
  the
• 21:25
  Pharaoh,
• 21:26
  which
• 21:26
  is
• 21:27
  a
• 21:27
  powerful
• 21:27
  king
• 21:27
  of
• 21:28
  Egypt,
• 21:28
  and
• 21:28
  said,
• 21:28
  let
• 21:29
  my
• 21:29
  people
• 21:29
  go.
• 21:30
  And
• 21:30
  after
• 21:30
  many
• 21:31
  signs
• 21:31
  and
• 21:31
  miracles,
• 21:32
  the
• 21:32
  Pharaoh
• 21:33
  finally
• 21:33
  agreed.
• 21:34
  But
• 21:34
  the
• 21:35
  journey
• 21:35
  wasn't
• 21:36
  easy.
• 21:36
  The
• 21:37
  Israelites
• 21:38
  had
• 21:38
  to
• 21:38
  leave
• 21:38
  in
• 21:39
  a
• 21:39
  hurry,
• 21:40
  cross
• 21:40
  a
• 21:40
  desert,
• 21:41
  and
• 21:41
  even
• 21:41
  walk
• 21:42
  through
• 21:42
  the
• 21:42
  Red
• 21:43
  Sea,
• 21:43
  which
• 21:44
  the
• 21:44
  Bible
• 21:44
  says
• 21:45
  God
• 21:45
  parted
• 21:45
  in
• 21:46
  two
• 21:46
  so
• 21:46
  they
• 21:46
  could
• 21:46
  escape.
• 21:48
  They
• 21:48
  wandered
• 21:49
  in
• 21:49
  the
• 21:49
  wilderness
• 21:49
  for
• 21:50
  40
• 21:51
  years.
• 21:52
  They
• 21:52
  were
• 21:53
  thirsty,
• 21:53
  they
• 21:54
  were
• 21:54
  hungry.
• 21:55
  Sometimes
• 21:55
  they
• 21:55
  got
• 21:56
  grumpy
• 21:56
  and
• 21:56
  tired.
• 21:57
  But
• 21:57
  they
• 21:58
  were
• 21:58
  also
• 21:58
  learning
• 21:59
  to
• 21:59
  trust
• 21:59
  God.
• 22:00
  That's
• 22:01
  when
• 22:01
  they
• 22:01
  received
• 22:01
  the
• 22:02
  Ten
• 22:02
  Commandments
• 22:02
  and
• 22:03
  started
• 22:03
  becoming
• 22:04
  a
• 22:04
  community
• 22:05
  of
• 22:05
  faith.
• 22:06
  Today,
• 22:06
  Jewish
• 22:07
  families
• 22:07
  around
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  world
• 22:08
  celebrate
• 22:09
  this
• 22:09
  journey
• 22:09
  during
• 22:10
  a
• 22:10
  special
• 22:10
  holiday
• 22:11
  called
• 22:11
  Passover,
• 22:12
  a
• 22:13
  time
• 22:13
  to
• 22:13
  remember
• 22:14
  how
• 22:14
  God
• 22:14
  helped
• 22:14
  them
• 22:15
  find
• 22:15
  freedom.
• 22:16
  Just
• 22:16
  like
• 22:16
  the
• 22:16
  Mormon
• 22:17
  pioneers,
• 22:17
  the
• 22:18
  Israelites
• 22:18
  were
• 22:19
  walking
• 22:19
  toward
• 22:19
  a
• 22:20
  home
• 22:20
  where
• 22:20
  they
• 22:20
  could
• 22:21
  live
• 22:21
  their
• 22:21
  faith
• 22:22
  in
• 22:22
  peace.
• 22:23
  They
• 22:23
  had
• 22:23
  to
• 22:23
  be
• 22:24
  brave.
• 22:24
  They
• 22:25
  had
• 22:25
  to
• 22:25
  keep
• 22:25
  walking.
• 22:26
  And
• 22:26
  they
• 22:26
  had
• 22:27
  to
• 22:27
  believe
• 22:27
  in
• 22:27
  something
• 22:28
  they
• 22:28
  couldn't
• 22:28
  always
• 22:28
  see.
• 22:30
  Now
• 22:30
  let's
• 22:30
  cross
• 22:31
  our
• 22:31
  bridge
• 22:31
  into
• 22:31
  the
• 22:32
  deserts
• 22:32
  of
• 22:32
  ancient
• 22:33
  Arabia,
• 22:33
  where
• 22:34
  a
• 22:34
  man
• 22:34
  named
• 22:35
  Muhammad
• 22:35
  was
• 22:36
  teaching
• 22:36
  something
• 22:36
  new.
• 22:37
  That
• 22:38
  there
• 22:38
  is
• 22:38
  only
• 22:38
  one
• 22:38
  God
• 22:39
  and
• 22:39
  that
• 22:39
  all
• 22:39
  people
• 22:40
  should
• 22:40
  be
• 22:40
  treated
• 22:41
  fairly
• 22:41
  and
• 22:41
  kindly.
• 22:43
  But
• 22:43
  not
• 22:43
  everyone
• 22:44
  in
• 22:44
  his
• 22:44
  city,
• 22:45
  Mecca,
• 22:46
  liked
• 22:46
  that
• 22:46
  message.
• 22:47
  Hamed
• 22:47
  and
• 22:48
  his
• 22:48
  followers
• 22:48
  were
• 22:49
  bullied
• 22:49
  and
• 22:49
  threatened.
• 22:50
  It
• 22:51
  got
• 22:51
  so
• 22:51
  dangerous,
• 22:51
  they
• 22:52
  had
• 22:52
  to
• 22:52
  leave
• 22:52
  everything
• 22:52
  behind,
• 22:53
  homes,
• 22:54
  belongings,
• 22:55
  even
• 22:55
  friends,
• 22:56
  and
• 22:56
  start
• 22:56
  over
• 22:57
  in
• 22:57
  a
• 22:57
  new
• 22:57
  place.
• 22:58
  This
• 22:58
  journey
• 22:59
  is
• 22:59
  called
• 22:59
  the
• 22:59
  Hijra
• 22:59
  and
• 23:00
  led
• 23:00
  them
• 23:00
  to
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  city
• 23:01
  called
• 23:01
  Medina.
• 23:03
  There,
• 23:03
  they
• 23:03
  were
• 23:03
  welcomed
• 23:04
  with
• 23:04
  open
• 23:04
  arms.
• 23:05
  They
• 23:06
  built
• 23:06
  a
• 23:06
  peaceful
• 23:07
  community,
• 23:08
  started
• 23:09
  new
• 23:09
  lives,
• 23:10
  and
• 23:10
  kept
• 23:10
  their
• 23:11
  faith
• 23:11
  strong.
• 23:12
  This
• 23:12
  journey
• 23:13
  is
• 23:13
  so
• 23:13
  important
• 23:13
  in
• 23:14
  Islam
• 23:14
  that
• 23:14
  it
• 23:15
  marks
• 23:15
  the
• 23:15
  very
• 23:15
  first
• 23:16
  year
• 23:16
  of
• 23:16
  the
• 23:16
  Muslim
• 23:17
  calendar,
• 23:18
  the
• 23:18
  Hijra
• 23:19
  teaches
• 23:19
  values
• 23:20
  like
• 23:20
  sacrifice,
• 23:21
  trust
• 23:21
  in
• 23:21
  God,
• 23:22
  and
• 23:22
  unity.
• 23:23
  Just
• 23:23
  like
• 23:23
  the
• 23:24
  pioneers,
• 23:24
  the
• 23:24
  early
• 23:25
  Muslims
• 23:25
  knew
• 23:26
  that
• 23:26
  faith
• 23:26
  sometimes
• 23:27
  meant
• 23:27
  walking
• 23:28
  away
• 23:28
  from
• 23:28
  what's
• 23:29
  familiar
• 23:30
  and
• 23:30
  walking
• 23:31
  toward
• 23:31
  something
• 23:32
  better.
• 23:33
  Now
• 23:33
  let's
• 23:34
  cross
• 23:34
  another
• 23:34
  part
• 23:34
  of
• 23:35
  our
• 23:35
  bridge
• 23:35
  to
• 23:35
  Persia,
• 23:36
  which
• 23:36
  is
• 23:37
  now
• 23:37
  called
• 23:37
  Iran.
• 23:39
  In
• 23:39
  the
• 23:39
  1800s,
• 23:40
  a
• 23:40
  man
• 23:40
  named
• 23:41
  Bahaullah
• 23:42
  began
• 23:42
  teaching
• 23:42
  that
• 23:43
  all
• 23:43
  people
• 23:43
  are
• 23:43
  part
• 23:44
  of
• 23:44
  one
• 23:44
  big
• 23:44
  human
• 23:45
  family.
• 23:46
  He
• 23:46
  believed
• 23:47
  in
• 23:47
  peace,
• 23:47
  unity,
• 23:48
  and
• 23:48
  the
• 23:48
  idea
• 23:49
  that
• 23:49
  no
• 23:49
  matter
• 23:49
  where
• 23:50
  you
• 23:50
  come
• 23:50
  from
• 23:50
  or
• 23:51
  what
• 23:51
  you
• 23:51
  look
• 23:51
  like,
• 23:52
  we
• 23:52
  all
• 23:52
  matter
• 23:53
  equally.
• 23:54
  But
• 23:54
  those
• 23:54
  in
• 23:55
  powers
• 23:55
  didn't
• 23:55
  like
• 23:56
  his
• 23:56
  teachings.
• 23:57
  Baha
• 23:57
  Ullah
• 23:58
  and
• 23:58
  his
• 23:58
  followers
• 23:59
  were
• 23:59
  persecuted,
• 24:00
  arrested,
• 24:00
  and
• 24:01
  forced
• 24:01
  to
• 24:01
  leave
• 24:01
  their
• 24:01
  homes
• 24:02
  over
• 24:02
  and
• 24:02
  over
• 24:03
  again.
• 24:04
  Bahaullah's
• 24:05
  life
• 24:05
  became
• 24:06
  a
• 24:06
  kind
• 24:06
  of
• 24:06
  lifelong
• 24:07
  pioneer
• 24:08
  trek.
• 24:09
  In
• 24:09
  1863,
• 24:10
  he
• 24:10
  was
• 24:10
  exiled
• 24:11
  from
• 24:11
  Baghdad
• 24:12
  all
• 24:12
  the
• 24:12
  way
• 24:12
  to
• 24:12
  Constantinople.
• 24:14
  Over
• 24:14
  100
• 24:14
  days
• 24:15
  of
• 24:15
  travel
• 24:15
  by
• 24:16
  foot
• 24:16
  and
• 24:16
  mule
• 24:17
  through
• 24:17
  summer
• 24:18
  heat,
• 24:18
  mountains,
• 24:19
  and
• 24:19
  deserts.
• 24:20
  But
• 24:20
  through
• 24:21
  every
• 24:21
  step,
• 24:21
  he
• 24:22
  kept
• 24:22
  going.
• 24:23
  His
• 24:23
  followers
• 24:24
  sang
• 24:24
  songs,
• 24:25
  encouraged
• 24:25
  others,
• 24:26
  and
• 24:26
  kept
• 24:27
  spreading
• 24:27
  his
• 24:27
  message
• 24:28
  of
• 24:28
  kindness
• 24:28
  and
• 24:29
  unity.
• 24:30
  Today,
• 24:30
  the
• 24:30
  Baha'
• 24:31
  I
• 24:31
  faith
• 24:31
  has
• 24:31
  followers
• 24:32
  all
• 24:32
  over
• 24:32
  the
• 24:33
  world,
• 24:33
  and
• 24:33
  they
• 24:34
  still
• 24:34
  talk
• 24:34
  about
• 24:34
  these
• 24:35
  journeys
• 24:35
  as
• 24:36
  proof
• 24:36
  that
• 24:36
  resilience
• 24:37
  and
• 24:37
  cooperation
• 24:38
  can
• 24:38
  shine
• 24:39
  even
• 24:40
  in
• 24:40
  the
• 24:40
  darkest
• 24:41
  places.
• 24:42
  Whether
• 24:43
  it's
• 24:43
  the
• 24:43
  Exodus,
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  Hijra,
• 24:44
  or
• 24:45
  Bahaullah's
• 24:46
  long
• 24:46
  road
• 24:46
  from
• 24:47
  exile
• 24:47
  to
• 24:48
  exile,
• 24:49
  each
• 24:49
  one
• 24:49
  is
• 24:49
  about
• 24:50
  people
• 24:50
  leaving
• 24:50
  what
• 24:51
  they
• 24:51
  knew,
• 24:52
  walking
• 24:52
  into
• 24:53
  the
• 24:53
  unknown,
• 24:53
  and
• 24:54
  holding
• 24:54
  tight
• 24:54
  to
• 24:55
  hope.
• 24:56
  Faith
• 24:56
  in
• 24:56
  each
• 24:56
  other.
• 24:57
  Just
• 24:58
  like
• 24:58
  the
• 24:58
  Latter
• 24:58
  Day
• 24:59
  Saint
• 24:59
  pioneers,
• 25:00
  they
• 25:00
  all
• 25:00
  faced
• 25:01
  fear.
• 25:01
  They
• 25:02
  all
• 25:02
  faced
• 25:02
  loss.
• 25:03
  But
• 25:04
  they
• 25:04
  also
• 25:04
  carried
• 25:05
  something
• 25:05
  amazing
• 25:05
  with
• 25:06
  them.
• 25:06
  A
• 25:07
  belief
• 25:07
  they
• 25:07
  couldn't
• 25:08
  leave
• 25:08
  behind.
• 25:10
  Okay,
• 25:11
  explorers,
• 25:11
  let's
• 25:12
  unzip
• 25:12
  our
• 25:12
  belief
• 25:13
  backpacks
• 25:16
  and
• 25:16
  see
• 25:16
  what
• 25:16
  treasures
• 25:17
  we've
• 25:17
  gathered
• 25:18
  on
• 25:18
  the
• 25:18
  trail
• 25:18
  today.
• 25:20
  First,
• 25:20
  the
• 25:21
  courage
• 25:21
  to
• 25:21
  keep
• 25:21
  going.
• 25:23
  Even
• 25:23
  when
• 25:23
  their
• 25:23
  shoes
• 25:24
  were
• 25:24
  worn
• 25:24
  out,
• 25:25
  even
• 25:25
  when
• 25:25
  rivers
• 25:26
  froze,
• 25:27
  even
• 25:27
  when
• 25:27
  they
• 25:27
  were
• 25:28
  scared
• 25:28
  or
• 25:28
  tired
• 25:29
  or
• 25:29
  sad,
• 25:30
  the
• 25:31
  pioneers
• 25:31
  kept
• 25:32
  going.
• 25:32
  They
• 25:33
  believed
• 25:33
  in
• 25:33
  something
• 25:34
  bigger
• 25:34
  than
• 25:34
  their
• 25:35
  fears.
• 25:36
  Let's
• 25:36
  tuck
• 25:36
  courage
• 25:37
  into
• 25:37
  the
• 25:37
  side
• 25:38
  pocket
• 25:38
  of
• 25:38
  our
• 25:38
  backpack.
• 25:40
  Repeat
• 25:40
  after
• 25:41
  me.
• 25:42
  I
• 25:42
  can
• 25:42
  do
• 25:42
  hard
• 25:43
  things.
• 25:43
  I
• 25:43
  can
• 25:44
  do
• 25:44
  hard
• 25:44
  things.
• 25:45
  Even
• 25:45
  when
• 25:45
  the
• 25:46
  hill
• 25:46
  is
• 25:46
  steep
• 25:46
  or
• 25:47
  the
• 25:47
  homework
• 25:47
  is
• 25:47
  tricky
• 25:48
  or
• 25:48
  your
• 25:48
  friend
• 25:48
  says
• 25:49
  something
• 25:49
  that
• 25:49
  hurts,
• 25:50
  you
• 25:51
  can
• 25:51
  take
• 25:51
  one
• 25:51
  step
• 25:52
  forward
• 25:53
  and
• 25:53
  keep
• 25:53
  going.
• 25:55
  The
• 25:55
  second
• 25:56
  thing
• 25:56
  we
• 25:57
  want
• 25:57
  to
• 25:57
  remember
• 25:57
  from
• 25:58
  today's
• 25:58
  journey
• 25:59
  is
• 25:59
  faith
• 25:59
  in
• 25:59
  action.
• 26:00
  For
• 26:00
  the
• 26:00
  Latter
• 26:00
  Day
• 26:01
  Saints,
• 26:01
  faith
• 26:01
  wasn't
• 26:02
  just
• 26:02
  something
• 26:02
  they
• 26:03
  thought
• 26:03
  about.
• 26:03
  It
• 26:03
  was
• 26:04
  something
• 26:04
  they
• 26:04
  lived.
• 26:05
  They
• 26:05
  walked
• 26:06
  their
• 26:06
  beliefs
• 26:06
  with
• 26:07
  every
• 26:07
  dusty
• 26:08
  mile.
• 26:08
  Faith
• 26:09
  isn't
• 26:09
  always
• 26:09
  comfy.
• 26:10
  Sometimes
• 26:11
  it's
• 26:11
  sweaty,
• 26:12
  sometimes
• 26:12
  it's
• 26:13
  slow.
• 26:13
  But
• 26:14
  it's
• 26:14
  always
• 26:14
  worth
• 26:14
  it.
• 26:15
  Add
• 26:15
  a
• 26:16
  pinch
• 26:16
  of
• 26:16
  faith
• 26:16
  in
• 26:17
  action
• 26:17
  to
• 26:17
  your
• 26:17
  pack.
• 26:19
  Repeat
• 26:19
  after
• 26:19
  me.
• 26:20
  What
• 26:21
  I
• 26:21
  believe
• 26:22
  shapes
• 26:22
  what
• 26:22
  I
• 26:23
  do.
• 26:23
  What
• 26:24
  I
• 26:24
  believe
• 26:24
  shapes
• 26:25
  what
• 26:25
  I
• 26:25
  do.
• 26:27
  The
• 26:27
  last
• 26:27
  thing
• 26:28
  we
• 26:28
  want
• 26:28
  to
• 26:28
  add
• 26:28
  to
• 26:28
  our
• 26:29
  backpack
• 26:29
  today
• 26:29
  is
• 26:30
  helping
• 26:30
  hands
• 26:31
  make
• 26:31
  the
• 26:31
  trail
• 26:31
  easier.
• 26:33
  Pioneers
• 26:33
  didn't
• 26:34
  travel
• 26:34
  alone.
• 26:35
  They
• 26:35
  shared
• 26:35
  blankets,
• 26:36
  carried
• 26:37
  each
• 26:37
  other's
• 26:37
  loads,
• 26:38
  and
• 26:38
  sang
• 26:38
  songs
• 26:39
  to
• 26:39
  lift

  Adventure.

  It's

  into

  you

  do.
• 27:40
  Let's

  break

• 27:45
  This

  could
• 27:45
  be
• 27:45
  a
• 27:46
  spiritual

  like

  God

  wants
• 27:48
  us
• 27:48
  to
• 27:49
  be
• 27:49
  kind
• 27:50
  or
• 27:50
  I
• 27:51
  believe
• 27:51
  prayer
• 27:52
  brings
• 27:52
  peace.
• 27:53
  Or

  it

  I

  believe

  we
• 28:00
  should
• 28:00
  take
• 28:00
  care
• 28:00
  of

  nature.
• 28:02
  Take

  What's

  what

  can

  I

  Instead

  of

  you're

  adventure
• 29:31
  look

  like?
• 29:32
  Will

• 29:33
  involve
• 29:33
  helping
• 29:34
  a

  neighbor?
• 29:35
  Apologizing

  zip

• 29:51
  We've
• 29:51
  heard
• 29:51
  a
• 29:51
  lot
• 29:52
  today
• 29:52
  about
• 29:52
  walking,
• 29:53
  building,
• 29:53
  and
• 29:53
  believing.
• 29:54
  But
• 29:55
  now
• 29:55
  it's
• 29:55
  time
• 29:55
  to
• 29:55
  settle
• 29:56
  in
• 29:56
  for
• 29:56
  a
• 29:56
  story.
• 29:57
  One
• 29:58
  that
• 29:58
  has
• 29:58
  been
• 29:58
  told
• 29:58
  around
• 29:59
  Latter
• 29:59
  Day
• 30:00
  Saint
• 30:00
  campfires,
• 30:01
  classrooms,
• 30:02
  and
• 30:02
  dinner
• 30:02
  tables
• 30:03
  for
• 30:03
  generations.
• 30:05
  It's
• 30:05
  called
• 30:05
  the
• 30:06
  Miracle
• 30:06
  of
• 30:07
  the
• 30:07
  Gulf
• 30:09
  was
• 30:09
  The
• 30:10
  spring
• 30:10
  of
• 30:10
  1848,
• 30:12
  almost
• 30:12
  a
• 30:13
  year
• 30:13
  after
• 30:13
  the
• 30:13
  first
• 30:14
  pioneers
• 30:14
  arrived
• 30:15
  in
• 30:15
  the
• 30:15
  Salt
• 30:16
  Lake
• 30:16
  Valley.
• 30:17
  After
• 30:17
  the
• 30:18
  long,
• 30:18
  painful
• 30:19
  journey
• 30:19
  west,
• 30:20
  many
• 30:20
  Latter
• 30:20
  Day
• 30:21
  Saint
• 30:21
  families
• 30:21
  had
• 30:22
  planted
• 30:22
  their
• 30:22
  very
• 30:23
  first
• 30:23
  crops
• 30:24
  in
• 30:24
  the
• 30:24
  hard
• 30:24
  Utah
• 30:25
  soil.
• 30:25
  It
• 30:25
  was
• 30:26
  a
• 30:26
  dry
• 30:26
  land,
• 30:26
  unlike
• 30:27
  the
• 30:27
  green
• 30:27
  hills
• 30:28
  they'd
• 30:28
  left
• 30:28
  behind
• 30:29
  in
• 30:29
  the
• 30:29
  east.
• 30:30
  This
• 30:30
  first
• 30:31
  harvest
• 30:31
  was
• 30:31
  everything.
• 30:32
  It
• 30:32
  meant
• 30:33
  survival.
• 30:33
  Through
• 30:33
  the
• 30:34
  next
• 30:34
  winter,
• 30:35
  it
• 30:35
  meant
• 30:35
  children
• 30:36
  would
• 30:36
  have
• 30:36
  bread,
• 30:37
  mothers
• 30:38
  would
• 30:38
  have
• 30:38
  stew,
• 30:39
  and
• 30:39
  fathers
• 30:40
  would
• 30:40
  keep
• 30:40
  their
• 30:40
  families
• 30:41
  close.
• 30:42
  So
• 30:42
  they
• 30:43
  worked
• 30:43
  and
• 30:44
  prayed
• 30:44
  and
• 30:44
  watered
• 30:45
  and
• 30:45
  waited.
• 30:47
  Then
• 30:47
  one
• 30:48
  morning,
• 30:49
  something
• 30:50
  strange
• 30:50
  happened.
• 30:52
  Thousands
• 30:53
  of
• 30:54
  insects,
• 30:55
  Long,
• 30:56
  black,
• 30:57
  shiny
• 30:58
  insects,
• 30:59
  crawled
• 31:00
  over
• 31:00
  the
• 31:00
  hills
• 31:00
  and
• 31:01
  into
• 31:01
  the
• 31:01
  fields.
• 31:02
  They
• 31:03
  were
• 31:03
  ordinary
• 31:04
  bugs.
• 31:05
  These
• 31:06
  were
• 31:06
  Mormon
• 31:07
  crickets.
• 31:08
  Huge,
• 31:09
  hungry
• 31:10
  and
• 31:11
  loud.
• 31:12
  They
• 31:12
  came
• 31:12
  in
• 31:13
  waves,
• 31:13
  clicking
• 31:14
  and
• 31:14
  crunching.
• 31:15
  They
• 31:16
  ate
• 31:16
  leaves.
• 31:17
  They
• 31:17
  chewed
• 31:17
  through
• 31:18
  stalks.
• 31:19
  They
• 31:19
  stripped
• 31:20
  the
• 31:20
  plants
• 31:21
  bare.
• 31:23
  People
• 31:23
  tried
• 31:23
  everything.
• 31:24
  They
• 31:25
  shouted.
• 31:26
  They
• 31:26
  lit
• 31:26
  fires.
• 31:27
  They
• 31:28
  banged
• 31:28
  pots.
• 31:29
  Some
• 31:29
  ran
• 31:30
  into
• 31:30
  the
• 31:30
  fields
• 31:31
  swinging
• 31:31
  brooms,
• 31:32
  trying
• 31:32
  to
• 31:32
  drive
• 31:32
  them
• 31:33
  off.
• 31:34
  Children
• 31:35
  cried.
• 31:35
  Farmers
• 31:36
  dropped
• 31:37
  to
• 31:37
  their
• 31:37
  knees.
• 31:38
  It
• 31:38
  looked
• 31:39
  like
• 31:39
  the
• 31:39
  pioneers
• 31:40
  might
• 31:40
  lose
• 31:40
  everything.
• 31:42
  Then,
• 31:42
  just
• 31:42
  when
• 31:42
  hope
• 31:43
  was
• 31:43
  almost
• 31:43
  gone,
• 31:44
  something
• 31:44
  appeared
• 31:44
  in
• 31:44
  the
• 31:45
  sky.
• 31:46
  Birds.
• 31:47
  Dozens
• 31:48
  at
• 31:48
  first.
• 31:50
  Then
• 31:50
  hundreds.
• 31:52
  Seagulls.
• 31:54
  Now,
• 31:54
  wait
• 31:54
  a
• 31:54
  minute.
• 31:55
  Seagulls.
• 31:56
  The
• 31:56
  pioneers
• 31:57
  couldn't
• 31:58
  believe
• 31:58
  it.
• 31:59
  This
• 31:59
  wasn't
• 31:59
  the
• 32:00
  beach.
• 32:01
  This
• 32:01
  was
• 32:01
  the
• 32:02
  desert.
• 32:03
  There
• 32:03
  was
• 32:04
  no
• 32:04
  ocean
• 32:05
  by
• 32:05
  then.
• 32:06
  But
• 32:07
  here
• 32:07
  they
• 32:07
  came,
• 32:08
  white
• 32:08
  wings
• 32:09
  shining,
• 32:09
  circling
• 32:10
  above
• 32:10
  the
• 32:10
  valley.
• 32:11
  The
• 32:12
  birds
• 32:12
  swooped
• 32:13
  down
• 32:13
  and
• 32:13
  began
• 32:13
  to
• 32:13
  eat
• 32:14
  the
• 32:14
  crickets.
• 32:14
  They
• 32:15
  gobbled
• 32:15
  them
• 32:15
  up
• 32:16
  by
• 32:16
  the
• 32:16
  beakful.
• 32:17
  And
• 32:18
  something
• 32:18
  even
• 32:18
  more
• 32:18
  amazing.
• 32:19
  The
• 32:20
  gulls
• 32:20
  didn't
• 32:21
  just
• 32:21
  eat
• 32:21
  a
• 32:21
  few
• 32:22
  and
• 32:22
  fly
• 32:22
  away.
• 32:23
  They
• 32:24
  stayed.
• 32:25
  They
• 32:25
  ate.
• 32:26
  And
• 32:26
  then
• 32:26
  flew
• 32:26
  to
• 32:27
  the
• 32:27
  streams
• 32:27
  and
• 32:28
  then
• 32:28
  came
• 32:28
  back
• 32:28
  to
• 32:29
  eat
• 32:29
  more.
• 32:30
  Day
• 32:30
  after
• 32:31
  day,
• 32:31
  the
• 32:31
  seagulls
• 32:32
  returned,
• 32:32
  devouring
• 32:33
  the
• 32:33
  crickets
• 32:33
  until
• 32:34
  the
• 32:34
  fields
• 32:34
  were
• 32:35
  saved.
• 32:35
  To
• 32:36
  the
• 32:36
  pioneers,
• 32:37
  it
• 32:37
  felt
• 32:37
  like
• 32:37
  a
• 32:37
  miracle.
• 32:38
  A
• 32:39
  message,
• 32:40
  a
• 32:40
  whisper
• 32:40
  from
• 32:41
  heaven
• 32:41
  saying,
• 32:42
  you're
• 32:42
  not
• 32:43
  alone.
• 32:44
  Keep
• 32:44
  going.
• 32:46
  That
• 32:46
  summer,
• 32:47
  the
• 32:47
  crops
• 32:47
  grew
• 32:48
  tall,
• 32:48
  the
• 32:48
  bread
• 32:49
  got
• 32:49
  baked,
• 32:50
  the
• 32:50
  valley
• 32:50
  came
• 32:51
  to
• 32:51
  life,
• 32:52
  and
• 32:52
  the
• 32:52
  people
• 32:53
  remembered.
• 32:56
  Today,
• 32:56
  in
• 32:56
  downtown
• 32:57
  Salt
• 32:57
  Lake
• 32:57
  City,
• 32:57
  Utah,
• 32:58
  you
• 32:58
  can
• 32:58
  still
• 32:58
  visit
• 32:59
  the
• 32:59
  seagull
• 32:59
  monument
• 33:00
  that
• 33:00
  was
• 33:00
  built
• 33:01
  in
• 33:01
  1913.
• 33:03
  On
• 33:03
  top
• 33:03
  of
• 33:03
  a
• 33:03
  stone
• 33:04
  tower
• 33:04
  sit
• 33:04
  two
• 33:05
  bronze
• 33:05
  seagulls
• 33:06
  stretching
• 33:06
  their
• 33:07
  wings
• 33:07
  toward
• 33:07
  the
• 33:07
  sky,
• 33:08
  watching
• 33:08
  over
• 33:08
  the
• 33:08
  land
• 33:09
  they
• 33:09
  once
• 33:09
  helped
• 33:10
  save.
• 33:11
  Not
• 33:11
  every
• 33:12
  miracle
• 33:12
  comes
• 33:12
  with
• 33:13
  glitter
• 33:13
  or
• 33:13
  lightning.
• 33:14
  Some
• 33:14
  comes
• 33:14
  with
• 33:15
  feathers.
• 33:16
  Some
• 33:16
  come
• 33:16
  with
• 33:16
  timing.
• 33:17
  And
• 33:17
  some
• 33:18
  come
• 33:18
  with
• 33:18
  just
• 33:19
  enough
• 33:19
  hope
• 33:19
  to
• 33:19
  carry
• 33:20
  you
• 33:20
  through
• 33:20
  the
• 33:20
  darkest
• 33:21
  day.
• 33:22
  So
• 33:22
  the
• 33:22
  next
• 33:23
  time
• 33:23
  you
• 33:23
  see
• 33:23
  a
• 33:23
  plain
• 33:24
  looking
• 33:24
  seagull,
• 33:25
  remember
• 33:26
  the
• 33:26
  miracle
• 33:26
  it
• 33:27
  might
• 33:27
  be
• 33:27
  holding
• 33:28
  in
• 33:28
  its
• 33:28
  beak.
• 33:31
  Well,
• 33:32
  explorers,
• 33:32
  we've
• 33:33
  reached
• 33:33
  the
• 33:33
  end
• 33:33
  of
• 33:33
  our
• 33:34
  journey
• 33:34
  on
• 33:34
  the
• 33:34
  trail
• 33:35
  of
• 33:35
  belief.
• 33:36
  We've
• 33:36
  walked
• 33:36
  beside
• 33:37
  children
• 33:37
  with
• 33:38
  tired
• 33:38
  feet
• 33:38
  and
• 33:38
  brave
• 33:39
  hearts.
• 33:40
  We've
• 33:40
  felt
• 33:40
  the
• 33:41
  wind
• 33:41
  of
• 33:41
  the
• 33:41
  plains
• 33:42
  and
• 33:42
  the
• 33:42
  sting
• 33:42
  of
• 33:43
  cold
• 33:43
  rivers.
• 33:44
  We've
• 33:44
  learned
• 33:45
  about
• 33:45
  courage,
• 33:46
  faith,
• 33:46
  community,
• 33:47
  and
• 33:47
  miracles
• 33:48
  with
• 33:48
  wings.
• 33:49
  And
• 33:49
  even
• 33:50
  though
• 33:50
  our
• 33:50
  boots
• 33:50
  aren't
• 33:51
  dusty
• 33:51
  and
• 33:51
  our
• 33:52
  wagon
• 33:52
  is
• 33:52
  imaginary,
• 33:53
  we've
• 33:54
  carried
• 33:54
  something
• 33:54
  real
• 33:55
  with
• 33:55
  us
• 33:55
  this
• 33:56
  whole
• 33:56
  time.
• 33:57
  Wonder.
• 33:58
  The
• 33:59
  wonder
• 33:59
  of
• 33:59
  people
• 33:59
  who
• 34:00
  believe
• 34:00
  so
• 34:00
  strongly
• 34:01
  in
• 34:01
  something
• 34:02
  good,
• 34:02
  they're
• 34:02
  willing
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  walk
• 34:03
  across
• 34:04
  the
• 34:04
  world
• 34:04
  to
• 34:05
  find
• 34:05
  it.
• 34:06
  We've
• 34:06
  also
• 34:07
  packed
• 34:07
  our
• 34:07
  belief
• 34:07
  backpacks
• 34:08
  full
• 34:08
  of
• 34:08
  values
• 34:09
  we
• 34:09
  can
• 34:09
  use
• 34:10
  in
• 34:10
  real
• 34:10
  life.
• 34:11
  Right
• 34:11
  now,
• 34:12
  you
• 34:12
  don't
• 34:12
  have
• 34:12
  to
• 34:13
  be
• 34:13
  part
• 34:13
  of
• 34:13
  the
• 34:13
  Church
• 34:13
  of
• 34:14
  Jesus
• 34:14
  Christ
• 34:14
  of
• 34:14
  Latter
• 34:15
  Day
• 34:15
  Saints
• 34:15
  to
• 34:15
  feel
• 34:16
  inspired
• 34:16
  by
• 34:16
  their
• 34:16
  story.
• 34:17
  You
• 34:18
  just
• 34:18
  have
• 34:18
  to
• 34:18
  care
• 34:18
  about
• 34:18
  standing
• 34:19
  up
• 34:19
  for
• 34:19
  what's
• 34:20
  right
• 34:20
  and
• 34:20
  walking
• 34:21
  forward
• 34:21
  when
• 34:22
  the
• 34:22
  road
• 34:22
  gets
• 34:22
  rocky.
• 34:24
  So
• 34:24
  as
• 34:24
  you
• 34:24
  go
• 34:24
  through
• 34:25
  your
• 34:25
  week,
• 34:25
  remember
• 34:26
  the
• 34:26
  handcart
• 34:27
  hustle,
• 34:28
  remember
• 34:28
  the
• 34:28
  kitten
• 34:29
  in
• 34:29
  the
• 34:29
  apron.
• 34:29
  Remember
• 34:30
  the
• 34:30
  crickets
• 34:31
  and
• 34:31
  the
• 34:31
  goals.
• 34:32
  Ask
• 34:32
  yourself,
• 34:33
  what
• 34:34
  kind
• 34:34
  of
• 34:34
  journey
• 34:35
  am
• 34:35
  I
• 34:35
  on?
• 34:36
  Because
• 34:37
  you,
• 34:37
  my
• 34:38
  explorer
• 34:38
  friend,
• 34:39
  are
• 34:40
  on
• 34:40
  your
• 34:40
  own
• 34:40
  kind
• 34:40
  of
• 34:41
  trail,
• 34:41
  too.
• 34:42
  Maybe
• 34:43
  it's
• 34:43
  the
• 34:43
  trail
• 34:43
  of
• 34:44
  learning
• 34:44
  something
• 34:44
  new.
• 34:46
  Maybe
• 34:46
  it's
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  trail
• 34:47
  of
• 34:47
  asking
• 34:47
  big
• 34:48
  questions.
• 34:49
  Maybe
• 34:49
  it's
• 34:50
  the
• 34:50
  trail
• 34:50
  of
• 34:50
  being
• 34:51
  a
• 34:51
  little
• 34:51
  kinder,
• 34:52
  a
• 34:52
  little
• 34:53
  braver,
• 34:54
  a
• 34:54
  little
• 34:54
  more
• 34:55
  you.
• 34:56
  Next
• 34:56
  time
• 34:56
  on
• 34:57
  Faithfully
• 34:57
  Explore.
• 34:58
  We're
• 34:58
  trading
• 34:58
  wagons
• 34:59
  for
• 34:59
  whirlwinds
• 35:00
  and
• 35:00
  desert
• 35:01
  trails
• 35:01
  for.
• 35:02
  For
• 35:02
  tales
• 35:02
  from
• 35:03
  the
• 35:03
  dawn
• 35:03
  of
• 35:04
  time.
• 35:05
  Have
• 35:05
  you
• 35:05
  ever
• 35:05
  wondered
• 35:06
  how
• 35:06
  the
• 35:06
  world
• 35:07
  began?
• 35:08
  Well,
• 35:08
  so
• 35:09
  have
• 35:09
  people
• 35:09
  from
• 35:10
  every
• 35:10
  corner
• 35:11
  of
• 35:11
  the
• 35:11
