Harold B. Lee, the 11th Prophet in the history of Mormonism, has a birthday of March 28, 1899. Harold B. Lee may have been born in Idaho and grown up there, but like a great majority of other Prophets he died in Salt Lake City. He got to go to Oneida Stake Academy with Ezra Taft Benson at the young age of 13. He went to Albion Normal School to graduate and then within the year started to teach at Silver Star over in Idaho. He then got put into being the principal of three other schools one in Idaho and two in Salt Lake City. He had an intermission of being a principal of the Idaho and Salt Lake City Schools by attending the U of U for getting a degree. Before going to The U he went on a mission to Denver Colorado. He became an Apostle in 1941. Harold B. Lee got to assist in organizing the Church Welfare Program. He started in 1935 causing him to not be an Apostle yet, but didn't actually get completed until '36. The Welfare Program went worldwide before he died. The precise date for going worldwide if you care was October 5, 1972. That being while he was a prophet. Another event that happened in 1972 was an important event in the history of Mormonism. This important event was for missions to go full out worldwide. He actually got called for a Prophet just a couple months before the worldwide Welfare thing. Harold B. Lee died 12 days past a year from when missions went worldwide causing his death to be on December 26, 1973.

His testimony: "I want to bear my sacred witness that because I know of the divinity of this work, I know that it will prevail; and that though there may be enemies within and without the Church who would seek to undermine and would seek to find fault and try to undermine the influence of the Church in this world, this Church will be borne off triumphantly and will stand through the test of time when all the man-made efforts and weapons forged against the Lord's word will fall by the wayside. I know that our Lord and Master Jesus Christ is the read of this Church; that He has daily communion through agencies known to Him, not only to the leaders of the Church in high positions, but also to individual members as they keep the commandments of God. To that I have my sacred witness and leave my blessing upon all the faithful of the Church, and indeed in the world everywhere, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
A great Quote: "If it were not for the assurance that I have that the Lord is near to us, guiding, directing, the burden would be almost beyond my strength, but because I know that He is there, and that He can be appealed to, and if we have ears to wear attuned to Him, we will never be left alone."

The 10th Prophet in the History of Mormonism

Some May know what the 10th Prophet in the history of Mormonism is. Some may not. To state, the 10th Prophet in the history of Mormonism was Joseph Fielding Smith. Joseph Fielding Smith's birthday was July 19, 1876. His dad was Joseph Fielding Smith Sr., but I'll only refer to the Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith. Joseph Served a 2 year mission to England starting in 1899, but before that he received his Patriarchal Blessing. In his Patriarchal Blessing it mentioned that, "It shall be thy duty to sit in counsel with thy brethren and to preside among the people." It basically infers of him becoming a Prophet of the Church. My Patriarchal blessing mentions, "You will receive additional authority and power within the Priesthood." My Dad supposes that it just talks about becoming a High Priest, but two of my Bishops, a Stake President and one of my counselors from my current ward feel it's more than that. Maybe not as drastic, or even as drastic as a Quorum of the 12/70, but maybe still a counselor, or Bishop. That came True later of course. Joseph got married three times, but at separate times. He got married to the next once the previous died. The first woman he married was Louie E. Shurtliff. She died in 1908 so later in 1908 he got married to Ethel G. Reynolds. She perished on September 26, 1937. His final wife was Jessie Ella Evans and got married in April of 1938. She died about a half year before President Smith. Some other matters of service Joseph gave were for three relations of a Church historian, being the president on the Genealogical Society, and being the President of the Salt Lake Temple. Joseph got to become an Apostle on April 7, 1910. I will mention Joseph Fielding Smith Sr. one more time. He got ordain Joseph Fielding Smith Jr. as an Apostle. Later in 1970 Joseph Fielding Smith became President of the Church. While President he assigned Mondays for being the night of Family Home Evening. Another item that happened while President of the Church is that the Church organized three of the Church magazines. Joseph Fielding Smith Dedicated the Ogden Temple and the Provo temple both in 1972 the same year in which he died. The precise date of the year was July 2.
A quote of him is, "We must endure to the end; . . . We must so live as to acquire the attributes of godliness and become the kind of people who can enjoy the glory and wonders of the celestial kingdom."
A testimony as well is, "I pray that we may all be guided by the power of the Holy Spirit, that we may walk uprightly before the Lord, and that we may inherit eternal life in the mansions and kingdoms that are prepared for the obedient."

David O. McKay got to be the 9th Prophet and President in the history of Mormonism. David O. McKay was born on August 8th, 1873 in Huntsville Utah. David got to be the class president when he went to the University of Utah. David O. McKay was of the Mormonism faction his whole life and went on one mission. This mission was to Great Britain. He later married Emma Ray Riggs on January 2, 1901. He still had other service opportunities than his mission such as a church commissioner of education and some others. One of the jobs David O. McKay did was being the principal of the Weber State Academy. David O. McKay became an apostle on April 9, 1906. He later became the second counselor to two prophets. Heber J. Grant and George Albert Smith. Then he became the president of the Quorum of the 12. In 1951 David O. McKay was ordained Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, and President of the Church. President McKay Dedicated 5 temples and BYU Hawaii. On January 18, 1970 at the age of 96 President David O. McKay met his death in Salt Lake City Utah.
A really great quote I found from him is, "Every member a missionary!" This is still told in general conference. A testimony from him as well is, "The gospel, the glad tidings of great joy, is the true guide to mankind; and that man or woman is happiest and most content who lives nearest to its teaching, which are the antitheses of hatred, persecution, tyranny, domination, injustice-things which foster tribulation, destruction, and death throughout the world. What the sun in the heavenly blue is to the earth struggling to get free from winters grip, so the gospel of Jesus Christ is to the sorrowing souls yearning for something higher and better than mankind has yet found on earth.

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.

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."

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."

Joseph had quite a bit to participate in the history of Mormonism. I mean other than even being a Prophet. By the way he was the 6th Prophet in the history of Mormonism. He was born in far west Missouri to Hyrum and Mary Fielding Smith. His birthday was November 13, 1838. Joseph F. Smith started his process of Mormonism, AKA: baptized, in 1852 at the age 13 by Heber C. Kimball. Joseph F. Smith served 4 missions with one of them being a service mission. His first one was to Hawaii and happened in 1854. Then the second was to Hawaii as well, but this time he had Lorenzo Snow and Ezra Taft Benson join him. Joseph F. Smith became an Apostle on July 1, 1866. Then a second counselor to John Taylor on the 10th of October, 1880. Then on September 13, 1898 became the second counselor to Lorenzo Snow. The first huge thing he donated to the history of Mormonism is that he adopted the Boy Scouts of America. You can still enter through the state for it, but if your part of Mormonism you're just basically already registered right off and Mormonism helps to fund it. A year later he created another widely known item to make it another big event in the history of Mormonism. This is that he put together seminary. Then another year after that making it 1913 he adopted another program that stuck around for a year. this was the campfire program for the young women's. So in 1914, that one year, it got replaced with a year-round beehive girls program. Continuing in the process of individual years he started to promote FHE, family home evening. Joseph F. Smith may have not gotten to dedicate any Temples either, but he did get to dedicate some sites for temples. He was able to dedicate the Laie Hawaii temple finally in the same year instead of the next, so basically 1915. then a couple years back in 1913 he dedicated the site for the Cardston Alberta Canada Temple.
I enjoy his testimony so I'll post that first this time. "We are living for eternity and not merely for the moment. Death does not part us from one another, if we have entered into sacred relationships with each other by virtue of the authority that God has revealed to the children of men. Our relationships are formed for eternity. We have prove ourselves faithful and true to the covenants that we have entered into here, and then we will receive a fullness of joy." I agree with him families will live together in this life and after."
I also enjoy this quote from him, " We desire it destinctly understood that 'Mormonism' as it is called, has come to the world to stay."

Lorenzo Snow

The 5th Prophet in the history of Mormonism was Lorenzo Snow. Lorenzo Snow was born April 3rd 1814. He was born in Mantua, Ohio and his parents were Oliver and Rosetta Leonora Pettibone Snow. Wilford Woodruff was baptized on June 19th, 1836 at age 22. Later on February 12, 1849 he became an apostle causing him to be 34. Once Wilford Woodruff died Lorenzo Snow died Lorenzo Snow received the privilege to guide the church. He was officially ordained Prophet on September 13, 1898 at the age of 84. Lorenzo Snow may have not had the privilege of dedicating anything, but he did get to meet up with and give a copy of the Book of Mormon to Queen Victoria while on one of his missions which was in New England. Another Great mission he got to go on was Hawaii. While Prophet he brought to attention the importance of paying tithing. He did later die in Salt Lake City on October 10, 1901 being 87 years old. At this Joseph F. Smith become the next Prophet in the history of Mormonism.
A quote from him is: "As a servant of God, I bear witness to the revelations of His will in the nineteenth century" That's one of the purposes of being a Prophet. to guide us with one of those ways being revelations.

A Testimony of his is: "A word or two about Joseph Smith. Perhaps there are very few men now living who were so well acquainted with Joseph Smith the Prophet as I was. I was with him often times. I visited him in his family, sat at his table, associated with him under various circumstances, and had private interviews with him for counsel. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God; I know that he was an honorable man, a moral man, and that he had the respect of those who were acquainted with him. The Lord has shown me most clearly and completely that he was a prophet of God, and that he held the Holy Priesthood."
