Preview [Pioneer] Winter Quarters: A Quiet Night by the Fires | 3 minutes

Preview of -It's November 1846. On a bluff above the Missouri River, four thousand Latter-day Saints have made camp for the winter. The day's work is done. Cookfires glow against the dusk. Somewhere, a woman is humming "Come, Come, Ye Saints" while she stirs a pot. A father reads from the Book of Mormon to his children by firelight. A fiddler plays a slow tune for no one in particular. And one by one, the lanterns go out.Walk with us through the camp tonight. Sit beside a young family at supper. Look up at the stars over the prairie. And let the quiet faith of the pioneers, a faith that endured cold, loss, and uncertainty without ever losing its tenderness, settle around you like a banked fire on a cold night.A 40-minute pioneer sleep story for Latter-day Saints.
