This post is going to be about George Albert Smith. George Albert Smith was the 8th President of the LDS faith in the history of Mormonism. George Albert Smith got born on April 4, 1870. He was born to Sarah Farr, and John Henry Smith. George Albert Smith got a job at the adolescent age of 13, this happening in 1883. Smith got married to Lucy Emily Woodruff on May 25, 1892. Lucy died on my birthday in month + day - year. Geroge Albert Smith on the other hand died on his own birthday, April 4, 1951 causing it to be his 81st birthday. George Albert Smith became an apostle on October 8, 1903 at the age of 33. Then on May 21, 1945 at the age of 75 became President of the Church in the history of Mormonism. He got to dedicate the Idaho Falls Temple along with a monument. This monument being the This is the Place Monument
A testimony that he gave was, "The Savior died that we might live. He overcame death and the grave and holds out to all who obey His teachings the hope of a glorious resurrection."
A great quote as well is, "I wonder sometimes if we realized the importance of music. I wonder if we know that the Lord Himself is concerned about it. He has given us the information that the song of praise is a prayer unto Hum. In our day He has given revelation about music. He gave instruction that Emma Smith was to gather the hymns that were to be sung in the Church."
