SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Moroni 7:10
"And ye will also know that ye are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; therefore ye are numbered among the people of the first covenant; and if it so be that ye believe in Christ, and are baptized, first with water, then with fire and with the Holy Ghost, following the example of our Savior, according to that which he hath commanded us, it shall be well with you in the day of judgment. Amen."

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Thomas S. Monson
"To the sophistry of Satan, Jesus turned His back. To the duty designated by His Father, He turned His face, pledged His heart, and gave His life. And what a sinless, selfless, noble, and divine life it was. Jesus labored. Jesus loved. Jesus served. Jesus testified. What finer example could we strive to emulate? Let us begin now, this very night, to do so. Cast off forever will be the old self and with it defeat, despair, doubt, and disbelief. To a newness of life we come---a life of faith, hope, courage, and joy. No task looms too large; no responsibility weighs too heavily; no duty is a burden. All things become possible" ("Examples of Righteousness," Ensign, May 2008). |
Exceeding Great and Precious Promises

Library: Latter Day Light: Chapter 8: Reaching Jacob
"As class proceeded that day, Jacob didn't say a word and just sat there staring straight ahead. He practically didn't move until the end of the class. Some days he was a little animated as he came to class, but once class started, it was back to sitting and staring straight forward into space.."

For more events in Church History
1844 - The Prophet Joseph Smith preached at the southeast corner of the temple, then under construction in Nauvoo, Illinois. The weather was unpleasant as he spoke to the people on sealing the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers, spoken of by Elijah. He discussed temple work and said, "And I would to God that this temple was now done, that we might go into it, and go to work and improve our time, and make use of the seals while they are on earth" (History of the Church, 6:184).
1845 - Brigham Young wrote letters to the Saints in Kirtland, Ohio, and counseled that all who have faith in the latter-day work gather to Nauvoo to build the Temple. He also wrote to the Saints in Philadelphia, under the leadership of Elder Jedediah M. Grant, to forward all the young men and help they could to also help build the Temple.
1953 - Elder Ezra Taft Benson, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, is sworn in as United States Secretary of Agriculture, a cabinet level government position under President Dwight Eisenhower.
