Best Answer

The majority of the Mormon pioneers traveled in traditional wagon trains. A few groups traveled using handcarts. Handcarts were chosen as a means for the poorest church members, who could not afford an expensive wagon and ox team, to cross the plains.

Can a greek marry a Mormon in the church?

Of course! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) allows anyone (member or non-member) to be married in their church, and provides both the building and the bishop to perform the ceremony free of charge, provided that their building use guidelines are followed. While Mormons are encouraged to marry within the religion, it is not a requirement and many choose to marry someone from outside the faith. Mormons are accepting of all races and nationalities, Greeks are welcome to visit Mormon services or be baptized into the church if they wish. Please note that a Mormon church is different than a Mormon temple. While anyone is welcome to enter and use a Mormon church building, Mormon temples are open only to practicing Mormons with special permission from their local leaders.
