Deep Rooted Faith

As the pioneers pushed toward the Salt Lake Valley

They moved on, though loved ones were buried almost daily

Their faith in the atonement was written in the heart

It was in the marrow of their bones to flourish and impart

   A few years ago, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland shared his feelings about the deep-rootedfaith of ... faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ was in their soul, it was in the marrow of their bones. ... The example of a faithful pioneer sister illustrates this truth.

Elder Holland, who upon sharing his feelings about the deep-rooted faith of the pioneers who pushed toward the Salt Lake Valley even after the deaths of their children, stated "They didn't do that for a program, they didn't do it for a social activity, they did it because the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ was in their soul, it was in the marrow of their bones."
