Creating A Community

Elder Jeffrey Holland spoke to a capacity crowd during the Ogden Pioneer Days Devotional on Sunday, July 17, 2011. He spoke about the need for us to be like the pioneers and learn to work together. He said, “…people working together are more successful, more prosperous and much more happy than neighborhoods or ethnic groups or religious faiths that are suspicious of one another, threatened by one another, and all too often hostile, even violent, toward one another.” He went onto say that individuals today can strengthen their communities by minimizing differences and emphasizing common values, aspirations and virtues that create success in a modern world.

It is our desire to create such a community at Esperanza.
