For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

“Their relatives and friends are only separated from their bodies for a short season: their spirits which existed with God have left the tabernacle of clay only for a little moment, as it were; and they now exist in a place where they converse together the same as we do on the earth. …What have we to console us in relation to the dead? We have reason to have the greatest hope and consolation for our dead of any people on the earth; for we have seen them walk worthily in our midst, and seen them sink asleep in the arms of Jesus” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 174).

1847 - A special conference was held in the Salt Lake Valley. The choir that would later become the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and is now know as the Choir At Tabernacle Square, sings for the first time at the conference just 29 days after the first pioneers arrived.  The Saints choose the name “Great Salt Lake City” as the name of the city they are building, and they name the river running through the valley the Jordan River.
