Grant on Missionary WorkWe as a people have one supreme thing to do, and this is to call upon the world to repent of sin, to come to God. And it is our duty above all others to go forth and proclaim the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the restoration again to the earth of the plan of life and salvation . . . We have in very deed the pearl of great price. We have that which is of more value than all the wealth and the scientific information which the world possesses. We have the plan of life and salvation . . . The best way in the world to show our love for our neighbor is to go forth and proclaim the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ of which he has given us an absolute knowledge concerning its divinity.<br />

Parley P. Pratt</h2>
<div class="">
I will tell [you]
my brethren, when I was a lad just out of my teens—about 1830—I read a
book that was but little known in the world, although now, probably, it
is in half [a] dozen [of the] principal languages of the earth, and it
was entitled the <a class="no-link-style" href="http://mormon.org/book-of-mormon">Book of Mormon</a>,
and had many predictions in it that are plain and easy to be
understood, and the spirit and power of God bore witness to my heart of
their truth. … Well now, these prophecies interested me I assure you.
They made an impression upon my mind [that] never has been effaced. … I
knew in me [in a way] that [would have] been no stronger if I had seen <a class="no-link-style" href="http://mormon.org/jesus-christ">Jesus Christ</a> in his glorified body and heard [the] same words from his own lips” (Oct. 31, 1852).</div>

The Lord watches

not upon you. The angels [are] round about you and they will take care
of you, and you may be peaceful and contented. … Every good man and
woman … [is] in the hands of [the] Lord. They are before him, his eye
upon them, his angels round about them that they might endure
afflictions, suffer pain [and] buffeting by Satan, pass through scenes
of afflictions enough to wring their natural hearts out of them,
comparatively. Yet God [will] take care of them” (Sept. 23, 1852, Mary

Brigham Young was a backwoods boy from upstate New York. He tried to keep himself neat and tidy at meals so he wore a beard napkin to keep from spilling his dinner.<br />

He had the privilege of dedicating the first working temple in northern Utah. He felt humbled and blessed to have that opportunity. Still thinking of missionary work, he said in his dedicatory prayer, "We dedicate [this house] that Thy servants may go forth to the nations of the earth endowed with power from on high . . . according to Thy word . . . that thy servants . . . may be saviors upon Mount Zion."<br />
<br />
This servant of the Lord wore himself out in his service to his God. <br />

Of course this was when he was a child before he joined the Church, so he didn't understand who the angel was or what the message was. But he never forgot the dream, and years later after he became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he knew the message was everlasting gospel found in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Angel Moroni brought the message of The Book of Mormon back to the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith.<br />

The girls were hitching rides on the back of wagons.<br />

Sister Rogers was concerned that the young people were not as righteous as they should be. She and Bishop John W. Hess contacted Eliza R. Snow who discussed the matter with President John Taylor. From these humble beginnings today's LDS Primary organization was born.Christy Monsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18271634091255593131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725458570232779465.post-9444487553019266062013-11-02T20:57:00.003-07:002013-11-02T20:57:49.750-07:00Pioneer Swim SuitsSwim suits in Brigham Young's day consisted of overalls for the boys and linsey woolsey dresses for the girls. The dresses were made out of heavy cotton and wool with pantaloons under the dresses. <br />

Brigham used to take his kids out to the Great Salt Lake swimming. There is a big black rock out there and the boys used to change on one side and the girls on the other.<br />
<br />
Try swimming in salt water in the heavy bathing suits they wore--quite an experience.Christy Monsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18271634091255593131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725458570232779465.post-24753601688942752772013-10-19T16:10:00.003-07:002013-10-19T16:10:23.103-07:00What Brigham Says Goes To The Heart<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

He was very anxious to get his family's temple work done so he dedicated part of the St. George Temple January 1, 1877. The temple was finished and dedicated in it's entirety April 6 - 8, 1877.<br />

At the January dedication Elder Wilford Woodruff spoke, then Brigham Young
Jr. and President Erastus Snow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then a hush came over the Saints and everyone looked to Brigham. He struggled to his feet, and as he rose his face shown with light. Leaning
on his cane, he made his way carefully to the pulpit. As he began to speak, his
voice filled the room.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“When I think upon this subject
[temple blessings], I want the tongues of seven thunders </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in;">
to wake up the
people.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Can the
fathers be saved without us? No. Can we be saved without them? No.”
“Are you satisfied now that the temple is finished?” </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Brigham went on. “I am not
half satisfied until I have whipped . . . the devils from this earth.” Brigham raise his cane and smash it
down on the podium. Crack! When Brigham put his cane back on the floor, there were two dents in the pulpit
from the knots in Brigham’s cane. Brigham's powerful testimony came through whenever he spoke about the Lord's work. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
After the dedication, he and his family performed much of the temple work for his ancestors, including his parents. </div>

youth, John organized a prayer group with others in the furniture-making
business where he apprenticed. Each day at lunch time he would lead his
companions into the hills to pray. His friends came for a little while and then
quit. John continued to draw close to God, becoming a Methodist
preacher at age 17.</span></div>

When Brigham found out, he took Don Carlos out of school and gave him a pair of blind mules to drive. Don Carlos learned to maneuver the team around Salt Lake City in an admirable fashion, delivering ice and dry goods. Later his was trusted to take a load of wheat to Logan, Utah.<br />

After a while, Don Carlos decided he would like to go back to school. This time he applied himself to his studied, graduated from the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah) and studied architecture in the east.<br />
<br />
He came back to Utah to work on several successful projects. Because of his expertise, he was appointed LDS Church Architect by Wilford Wodruff, assigned to finish the Salt Lake Temple.<br />
<br />
Brigham Young didn't have the advantage of child guidance books<br />
available to us today, but he was wise in his discipline of Don Carlos, and aided his son in becoming the best he could be. Would that we could all be this wise.Christy Monsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18271634091255593131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725458570232779465.post-83743213769610222442013-09-13T13:38:00.004-07:002013-09-13T13:39:34.850-07:00Have You Ever Used a Draw Knife?Have you ever used a draw knife?<br />
<br />
We used them a lot several years ago to skin the logs to build our cabin in Idaho.<br />
<br />
Brigham Young and other members of the first pioneer company used them to take the bark off the logs so they could lash them together tightly to ferry the wagons across the raging Platte River. Some of the streams were small enough they could float the wagons through the water, but the Platte was so high, the water dashed the wagons to pieces. They found some white pine to make a heavy raft, skinned the logs, lashed them together and got everyone safely across the water.<br />
<br />
Hard work and perseverance got the pioneers west. What have you done today to persevere?<br />
