I read a talk today by Elder Nelson about remembering and honoring our roots. It's a topic I don't think I pay nearly enough attention to. My ancestors died and sacrificed many things to bring this gospel forth because they believed in it. How can I turn my back on those who gave so much just because I don't want to do everything the church teaches? It's foolish I tell you, foolish.
It was a great talk. Elder Nelson repeatedly said that we cannot understand the gospel unless we understand the roots of the church. We need to know where this church came from, and the core meaning of it in order to truly have a testimony.
I'm glad I read that talk today, and I hope I can keep my pioneer heritage alive by continuing my life in living this gospel every day.
