1839 - Just after midnight, several of the Twelve Apostles and other brethren arrived at Far West, Missouri, fulfilling the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 115 that the Twelve were to leave for their missions to Great Britain from Far West, Missouri.  They met in council and excommunicated those who had been unfaithful during the difficult days at Kirtland and the expulsion from Missouri.  They ordained Wilford Woodruff and George A. Smith members of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles.  They then rolled a large stone to the southeast corner of the temple to lay the cornerstone of the Far West Temple.  They sung a few hymns and then agreed to adjourn until some future time.  Those there expressed their desire to finish building the Temple when the Lord opened the way for it to be accomplished.  They then began their return to the safety of Illinois having fulfilled a revelation the enemies of the Church said would never be fulfilled.
