And verily I say unto you, let this house be built unto my name, that I may reveal mine ordinances therein unto my people; For I deign to reveal unto my church things which have been kept hid from before the foundation of the world, things that pertain to the dispensation of the fulness of times. And I will show unto my servant Joseph all things pertaining to this house, and the priesthood thereof, and the place whereon it shall be built.

“All of the … temples which have been built or yet will be dedicated, will prove to be a blessing beyond measure to all those who worthily avail themselves of the privilege of using it, both for themselves and for their kindred dead” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, p. 84).

1847 - At 7:00 am the main body of pioneers broke camp at Mill Creek and traveled north a couple miles to the south branch of City Creek. After traveling 1,073 miles from Winter Quarters, here a site was chosen for a permanent settlement. The camp site included the land now occupied by the City and County building in Salt Lake City. At 9:30 am, a meeting of prayer and thanksgiving was held. Elder Orson Pratt dedicated the land to the Lord. A committee was appointed to select the ground for planting and other committees were formed to begin the settlement process. By 11:30 am the site for planting had been chosen and was ready to be plowed. At noon, the plowing started, but several plows broke in the attempt. At 2:00 pm, a dam across City Creek was built and ditches were dug to get the water onto the land. After a soaking, the ground was easy to plow. The beginnings of civilization began to appear in the valley of the Great Salt Lake.

I Sailed to Zion: True Stories of Young Pioneers Who Crossed the Ocean by Susan Arrington Madsen
This book contains 24 first-person accounts of children and adolescents who left their homes to sail to America. These young people experienced many adventures on the high seas: from seasickness and separation from loved ones to raging storms and burials at sea, from the simple pleasures of playing marbles or eating a well-cooked custard to the profound joy of seeing land as their journey came to an end. Whether alone or with family, these young pioneers were motivated by the quiet burnings of the Spirit whispering the gospel was true as they sailed to Zion.
