SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine and Covenants 122:7-8

"And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?"
Thank you!

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Howard W. Hunter

"Where one door shuts, another opens, even for a prophet in prison. We are not always wise enough nor experienced enough to judge adequately all of the possible entries and exits. The mansion that God prepares for each of his beloved children may have only certain hallways and banisters, special carpets and curtains that he would have us pass on our way to possess it" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W. Hunter, p. 65).
TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
April 2

1853 - The first block of sandstone for the foundation of the Salt Lake Temple, quarried from the Red Butte quarry, was hauled by ox-cart to the Temple site. Later, Latter-day Saint craftsmen were ordered by Brigham Young to cover the foundation of the temple with dirt when the U.S. Army was en route to Utah in 1857.  After an all-out war between Latter-day Saints and U.S. troops failed to materialize and the foundation was unearthed, cracks had developed in the stone and it had to be torn out. Granite from the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon was then selected for the construction.

Dallin looked toward the east out of a window of the Aurora LDS meetinghouse as the sun began to rise. The Elders of Israel had made a daring nighttime march through downtown Denver to reach the suburb of Aurora, where they were establishing their base camp near the I-70 freeway.
 
BOOK: Studies in the Book of Mormon: Chapter 8: An Infinite Atonement

While Nephi takes the place of his father Lehi as the principal teacher of the family, his brother Jacob takes Nephi's place as a "second witness." Jacob, who had "beheld in thy youth his glory" (2 Nephi 2:4), is not a step behind Nephi in his love and understanding of the scriptures. Though his teachings have a slightly different flavor than Nephi's-as one would expect with differences in personality and divine calling-they are just as eloquent and original in their thoughts and expressions.
