“Now, sisters, if you will consider these things you will readily see that time is all the capital stock there is on the earth; and you should consider your time golden, it is actually wealth, and, if properly used, it brings that which will add to your comfort, convenience, and satisfaction. Let us consider this, and no longer sit with hands folded, wasting time, for it is the duty of every man and of every woman to do all that is possible to promote the Kingdom of God on the earth” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 134)

1843 - The Prophet Joseph, with his wife, mother and about 100 other guests, spent the day on the Maid of Iowa cruising the Mississippi River.  The boat left Nauvoo about 8:00 am and traveled up the river to Burlington, Iowa, and returned to Nauvoo, stopping at Fort Madison, Iowa, on their way up river, and Shokoquon on the way back.  Elder Parley P. Pratt spoke and a band played. “Much good humor and hilarity prevailed.  The captain and officers on board did all they could to make us comfortable, and we had a very agreeable and pleasant trip” (History of the Church, 5:385).  They arrived home in Nauvoo about 8:00 p.m.
