Heber J. Grant of the History of Mormonism

I'm going to start off differently on how I talk about Heber J. Grant of the history of Mormonism.
I'll start off with talking about my favorite quote that I could find. It is: "If there is only one thing that will bring peace and contentment into the human hear, and into the family, it is to live within our means. And if there is any one thing that is grinding and discouraging and disheartening, it is to have debts and obligations that one cannot meet." On this it's with today's public, or at least with what was today's public. They were getting credit cards and going into debt like crazy then filing bankruptcy. some still filed due to lack of funds as a general, but credit cards assisted. You can still relate it to non-money matters.
Heber J. Grant was the 7th President of the history of Mormonism and was born on November 11th, 1856 in Salt Lake City Utah. His Parents were Jedediah M. and Rachel Ridgeway Ivins, Grant. 9 Days later on the 20th his dad died. In 1871 Heber J. Grant was called to be part of the Quorum of the 70. Later in 1882 got ordained into the Quorum of the 12, 1916 became president of the 12, and then on November 23, 1918 got ordained as Prophet by those of Mormonism. Heber J. Grant got to serve a few missions with one of them being in Japan. Then he also toured western Europe. He got to go to 2 church sponsored exhibits that happened at world fairs. They happened at San Francisco and Chicago. Heber J. Grant in April of 1936 created the Church Welfare Program. It was called the Church Security Plan when it was initially created though.
Heber J. Grant got to Dedicate 3 Temples. These temples contained The Cardston Alberta Temple of Canada in 1923, the Laie Hawaii Temple of U.S. in 1919, and the Mesa Arizona Temple in the USA in the year 1927.
A testimony in which he gave is, "I do not have the language at my command to express the gratitude to God for this knowledge that I possess. Time and time again my heart has been melted, my eyes have wept tears of gratitude for the knowledge that He lives and that this gospel called Mormonism is in very deed the plan of life and salvation, that it is in very deed the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."
