SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Nephi 2:14-15
"And now, my sons, I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon. And to bring about his eternal purposes in the end of man, after he had created our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Harold B. Lee
"Yes, we too have to be tried and tested by poverty, by sickness, by the death of loved ones, by temptation, sometimes by the betrayal of supposed friends, by affluence and riches, by ease and luxury, by false educational ideas, and by the flattery of the world. . . . So, we must be refined; we must be tested in order to prove the strength and power that are in us" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 207-208).

LIBRARY: His Return: Chapter 27: Spiritual and Physical Preparation The Lord and His prophets have counseled us to prepare ourselves for the events of the last days that will take place prior to His Return. As we prepare ourselves, He has promised us that we will feel a spirit of comfort and peace in our souls: "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear." Our fears will diminish, and we will be filled with faith, instead of fear. Click Here!

1844 - The Prophet Joseph spent much of the afternoon with the Sac and Fox Indians that were visiting the city of Nauvoo. They told the Prophet about how they had been robbed of their land by the Spanish, French, English, and now the Americans and how they had been cruelly treated. The Prophet in turn told them that he "knew they had been wronged" and "advised them not to sell any more land, but to cultivate peace with the different tribes and with all men, as the Great Spirit wanted them to be united and to live in peace." He then told them about the Book of Mormon. The Indians performed music and dancing for "about two hours" and "the Saints took up a collection to get the Indians food" (History of the Church, 6:402).
