A "pioneer species" is the first organism formed on the lifeless ground. A pioneer community is a group of people that settle a previously "untamed territory" by tilling the land and beginning to grow their own sustenance.
We as Esperanza founders and stakeholders are settling an “untamed territory” in order to reap our own unique harvest. We are on a journey that no one has ever taken quite like us. Being a pioneer on this trek will not be easy. Therefore, while on this journey, it would behoove us to remember and apply some words from the LDS Hymn, “Come, Come Ye Saints.”
Come, come, ye Saints (Esperanza stakeholders), no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.'
Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this and joy your hearts will swell —
All is well! All is well!
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?'
Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
