QUOTE OF THE DAY
David O. McKay
“Associated with this spiritual urge are three great needs that remain unchanged throughout the centuries: (1) Every normal person yearns to know something of God. What is he like? Is he interested in the human family, or does he disregard it entirely? (2) What is the best life to live in this world in order to be most successful and to get the most happiness? (3) What is that inevitable thing called death? What is beyond it?
“If you want your answers to these longings of the human soul, you must come to the Church to get it. Only true religion can satisfy the yearning soul” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 25).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
April 12, 2021
1843 - The first boat of the year coming up the Mississippi River was the Amaranth carrying about 240 Saints from England, being led by Lorenzo Snow. The Prophet Joseph greeted them as they arrived in Nauvoo. Later in the day, the Maid of Iowa arrived in Nauvoo with about 200 Saints from England. They had been stuck in St. Louis over the winter due to the ice on the river. The Prophet Joseph also greeted them as they arrived in this “cornerstone of Zion.” Due to some confusion between the temple committee and the architect, the Prophet Joseph gave William Weeks a certificate “to carry out my designs and the architecture of the temple in Nauvoo” (History of the Church, 5:353).
