I couldn't help but swing by and share two super powerful testimonies.

1. A couple went to dinner and when they came home their sick old dog was experiencing some labored breathing. The husband gave the dog a priesthood blessing and immediately the dog 'was happier than it had been in months.' amen.

2. (~50y/o man) The movie secretariat is really inspiring. Secretariat was so far ahead of all the other horses, therefore the church is true. amen.

Honorable mention:(high school girl) 'Modesty is true because girls at school don't wear modest things.'

Only one more word, and that concerns the glorious name, "America," which has been heard throughout the world as a joyful blast from the silver trumpets of ancient Israel at the beginning of the year of jubilee. What are the origin and meaning of that word?

The generally accepted view is that it was given to the continents of our hemisphere in honor of the Florentine broker and adventurer, Amerigo Vespucci. This view has been accepted, it seems, on the sole authority of an Alsatian school teacher, Waldseemueller.

I doubt the accuracy of this view and suggest another, according, to which the name is derived from a word well known to the Book of Mormon readers, **namely

...The problem, in part, is that Apostle Packer wants to treat the adults as children. But this is nothing new in the Church. Much of our adult literature and teaching is on a child's level.

Quote by Sterling McMurrin

This falls right in line with how Packer has always been portrayed regarding history.

Leonard Arrington had this to say about some of the other 'brethren':

“Elders Benson and Petersen are very much in the saddle and they do not want archival material made available to anybody.” -Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History, p 339

It is extremely difficult for me to hear TB

Suppose they go there, what will they find? They will find at the twelve gates twelve angels, and "names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel." The names of the twelve sons of Jacob, the polygamist. Can a monogamist enter there? "And the walls, of the city bad twelve foundations, and In them the names of the twelve apostles of the lamb; "and at the gates the names of the twelve tribes of Israel — from the twelve sons of the four wives of Jacob.

Those who denounce Patriarchal Marriage will have to stay without and never walk the golden streets. And any man or woman that lifts his or her voice to proclaim against a plurality of w

When, during the Millennium, the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon is translated, it will give an account of life in the premortal existence; of the creation of all things; of the Fall and the Atonement and the Second Coming; of temple ordinances, in their fulness; of the ministry and mission of translated beings; of life in the spirit world, in both paradise and hell; of the kingdoms of glory to be inhabited by resurrected beings; and many such like things.

As of now, the world is not ready to receive these truths. *For one thing, these added doctrines will completely destroy the whole theory of organic evolution as it is now almost universally taught in the halls of academia.

They then published the manifesto, and Lorenzo Snows words proclaiming it as binding upon the church. Check to see if you have any ancestors on it!

Outstanding work has been done by D. Michael Quinn and B. Carmon Hardy (among many others) regarding post-manifesto polygamy and how little honoring the law really meant to church leaders.

Another aspect of the matter needs to be considered. At the present time, man has no scientific or revealed knowledge of whether or not there are inhabitants on the earth's moon. The fact that a handful of astronauts didn't see any inhabitants in the tiny area they viewed when they landed on the moon decades ago certainly gives no definitive information, any more than visitors to earth who might land in barren Death Valley would have any idea of the billions of inhabitants elsewhere. -stephen r gibson

They never will affect my salvation one particle. Whose salvation will they affect? Their own. They have got to live their religion, serve their God, and do right, as well as myself.

Suppose that I lose the whole of them before I go into the spirit world, but that I have been a good, faithful man all the days of my life, and lived my religion, and had favor with God, and was kind to them, do you think I will be destitute there? No, the Lord says there are more there than there are here. They have been increasing there; they increase there a great deal faster than we do here, because there is no obstruction.

They do not call upon the doctors to kill their offspring

Full qoute:

The fact that Joseph had multiple wives, some of whom were what we call spiritual wives or were sealed to him because they worried their own husbands were not going to get them to the celestial kingdom, so there were those kinds of dealings. But there were also sealings where he, you know, treated them as a plural wife, and they were as husband and wife, in consumated relationships. -Elder Steven Snow, 10:09-11:30

Certainly the tragedy of abortion often begins with a visit to an X-rated motion picture theater or fingering through an obscene magazine. The path to the grievous sins of fornication, adultery, and homosexuality can begin, too, with the viewing of some of the sex- and violence-oriented programs now being shown on television, including network television.

We must put on the armor of righteousness and resist with all our might these satanic influences. The time is now when members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must take a stand fearlessly and relentlessly for the Lord's ways as opposed to those of Satan. -[kimball](https://archive.org/details/conferencer

In 1921 as an apostle, Mr. Mckay toured the pacific visiting members. One of the marvels of the trip is that he spoke in New Zealand for 40 minutes in english without a translator.

“I wish, oh, how I wish I had the power to speak to you in your own tongue, that I might tell you what is in my heart; but since I have not the gift, I pray, and I ask you to pray, that you might have the spirit of interpretation, of discernment, that you may understand at least the spirit while I am speaking, and then you will get the words and the thought when Brother Meha interprets.”

Of course there is no mention of this in the [1921 article](https://archive.org/details/improvementera2409unse/page/n3?q=hu
