If you could choose a different time period to live in when would it be?
I would choose to be a pioneer.  I have always had a great fascination with the pioneers and admire everything about them.  I would have loved to know Joseph Smith and other early saints.  I would have loved to have been one of the first to read the Book of Mormon.  I would have loved to walk across the plains.  I think it would have been so interesting to not have the modern day conveniences we have today.  I would have liked to help in the building of temples and the settling of Utah.  I love how life seemed less complicated than it is today.  Family was close and the work ethic was much stronger.  There was much less influence from "the world" and I think there was a deeper appreciation for nature and a reliance on the land.  I would definitely want to be a pioneer if I had a chance to go back.
