In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and a comfortable life; and they lost all--comfort and security and freedom." The World Needs Pioneers Today By President Thomas S. Monson, LDS Church Ensign, July 2013 Must we learn such costly lessons over and over again?  Times change, but truth persists.
