"I moved to central Iowa just a year ago. Our small town is surrounded by hills of cornfields on every side. Every day I see changes in the fields—the corn grows a little higher, the colors are more gold, more red, or more green than they were the day before. Every day and in every season, the fields around me are beautiful. These fields remind me of my pioneer ancestors, who pushed their handcarts just a few miles from my home. The fields remind me of all the blessings I have received from my Heavenly Father."
