The Pioneering Didn’t Stop in the Great Basin
July 24th, 2025 by G.
The Saints who trekked across the plains to the barren Great Basin did not suddenly become plush when they got there. They lived in scraping poverty.
They did not do it as refugees. They did it to build an empire in the dust.
They succeeded.
Their only true trial is us.

Brigham Young:
“The worst fear I have about this people is that they will get rich in this country, forget God and His people, wax fat, and kick themselves out of the Church and go to hell. This people will stand mobbing, robbing, poverty, and all manner of persecution, and be true. But my greater fear … is that they cannot stand wealth.”
