SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
2 Nephi 25:29
"And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out."

QUOTE OF THE DAYThomas S. Monson
"May we learn what we should learn, do what we should do, and be what we should be. By so doing, the blessings of heaven will attend. We will know that we are not alone. He who notes the sparrow's fall will, in His own way, acknowledge us" ("To Learn, to Do, to Be," Ensign, November 2008).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY July 5
1830 - About this time, Sister Knight, wife of Newel Knight, had a dream that the Prophet Joseph would visit that day, which was fulfilled when the Prophet Joseph arrived a few hours later. The persecution of the Church and the Prophet Joseph had increased and he records, "although we this time were forced to seek safety from our enemies by flight, yet did we feel confident that eventually we should come off victorious, if we only continued faithful to Him who had called us forth from darkness in the marvelous light of the everlasting Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (History of the Church, 1:101).
1838 - Just over 500 Saints began to gather "about one hundred rods south of the House of the Lord" in Kirtland, Ohio, to organize and prepare themselves for the journey to Missouri. They were the remaining faithful Saints in Kirtland who were the poor and destitute who would join together for the journey west in what was to be called the "Kirtland Camp." They would arrive in October, 1838, where the Prophet Joseph Smith settled them in Adam-ondi-Ahman just a couple weeks before the mob action against the Saints resulted in the Extermination Order. This journey of the poor, but faithful Saints, from Kirtland to Missouri, would become one of the great stories in Church History.
1873 - Zion's Savings Bank and Trust is organized with Brigham Young as president.
1978 - The first missionaries, Elders Ron Brown and Stanton Akana, arrive in the west Pacific country of Palau.
