My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them, even the glory of Zion. . . . - D&C 136:31
"I cannot help wondering why these intrepid pioneers had to pay for their faith with such a terrible price in agony and suffering," Elder James E. Faust of the Quorum of the Twelve, and now second counselor in the First Presidency, said at the October 1992 general conference."Why were not the elements tempered to spare them from their profound agony? I believe their lives were consecrated to a higher purpose through their suffering. Their love for the Savior was burned deep in their souls, and into the souls of their children and their children's children. The motivation for their lives came from a true conversion in the center of their souls."
