Almost nobody in my home ward came from pioneer stock (nor did I), so I really didn’t get a lot of that until I went to BYU and later lived in Utah. Personally, I sometimes felt like it was a Mormon pissing contest to see who had the best pedigree. But most of the wards I’ve been in for the last 8 years have focused on how we are all pioneers in one way or another or honoring our ancestors, whether they were Mormon pioneers or not.
