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.

The History of Mormonism, George Albert Smith

George Albert Smith

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.

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."

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."

Wilford Woodruff was the fourth President in the history of Mormonism. He President Woodruff was born in Aron Connecticut on the 1st of March in 1807. His Parents were Aphek Woodruff and Beulah Thompson. He Joined Mormonism in 1833 and served a few missions his first being in the southern end of the US. Wilford Woodruff got ordained and apostle at the young age of 32 on April 26, 1839. Once Wilford Woodruff became Prophet on April 26, 1889 he changed the day in which those of Mormonism fast from the 1st Thursday of each month to the 1st Sunday. He was able to dedicate two temples while President of the church. He got to dedicate the Manti Temple in Utah on May 7, 1888 and the privilege of dedicating the most known Salt Lake Temple on April 6,1893. He died in San Francisco, California at the age of 91. This date was 9/2/1898.
A quote from him is, "We are willing to stand by the revelation of God."
Then a testimony of his is, "I am thankful before the Lord for the blessings that I have enjoyed in this conference and for the testimonies I have heard from these Apostles. They speak as men having authority inspired by the spirit of God, and they speak the truth. Many of our friends that have labored with us have passed away. We ourselves shall pas away in our time. I may say that if it had bot been for the prayers of these thousands of Latter-Day-Saints, I today should have been mingling with my brethren in the Spirit World. I know that I have been preserved by the prayers of my brethren and sisters, and I am still with you. I feel very weak, and hardly qualified to magnify my calling as an apostle, as the leader of the people of Israel, in fact, no man is, only as moved upon by the power of God. what little time I may stay here I hope my heart will not be set on the riches of this world, but on doing the will of God and uniting with my brethren in bearing of the great work and responsibility resting upon us. If we will do this, all will be right."

John Taylor in the History of Mormonism

In the history of Mormonism there was a man by the name of President John Taylor. He was the 3rd president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. He was born November 1, 1808 to James Taylor and Agnes Taylor. They resided in Milnthorpe, England at this moment. He was married to Leonora Cannon and this marriage happened January 28,1833 in Toronto Canada actually. He was serving a mission for Methodists at the time. He went through a few religions really. He started with the church of England and then went to Methodist around 16 years old. John Taylor participated in the marriage of Leonora while on a mission for them and then later on May 9, 1836 got baptized to start his history in Mormonism. two and a half years later on December 19, 1838 he got put into one of the Twelve Apostles. Then he served another mission, but this time for Mormonism. He went to Great Britain. Later in 1844 John Taylor got injured during the episode at Carthage Jail. John Taylor was able to follow Brigham Young in becoming Prophet and President of the Church in 1880. Then got to guide the Church for 7 years before his death on July 25, 1887. While President of the Church he got to dedicate the Logan Utah Temple.
A really great quote from him is, " I would rather trust in the living God than in any other power on Earth"
A testimony as well that was recorded with being one of his last was, "I know that God rules and reigns in this nation and among the nations of the earth, and that He will direct all things, according to the counsels of His will. I know that the work that God has commenced in these last days will continue to go forth despite the powers of darkness and all the fiends of hell."

Brigham Young's role in the History of Mormonism

The 2nd Prophet in the history of Mormonism was Brigham Young. Brigham Young was born on June 1st of 1801. Brigham's dad was John Young and his mom was Abigail Howe. He was Born in Whitingham Vermont. Brigham Young was poor enough to have his mother die when he was only 14 years old. So then He started to become a carpenter. Eventually in the year 1832, causing him to be 30 years old, Brigham Young got baptized. A few years later on the 14th of February, 1835 he was called to be an Apostle in the History of Mormonism. While an Apostle he got to go to Great Britain to serve a mission for two years. More years later the event of Joseph and Hyrum Smith's Martyrs caused Brigham Young to take charge of the church. He resided at the Nauvoo, Illinois temple dedication in 1846. Later after trekking for a while in Kanesville, Iowa Brigham Young was ordained Prophet. This resided in the year of 1847. The trek continued to Salt Lake Utah where there he confirmed "this is the place". Once the initial Pioneers got here he formed the Perpetual Emigration Fund which assisted others to get to Utah. This Funding was formed in October of the year 1849. There's a program around that he formed. this is young men's and young women's. They vary for each ward. It can happen Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. It changes each year around some specific time. Young men's is scouts and I don't know what young women's has. It's put for 12 years old through high school. The young women's was made first in 1869 and then young men's in 1876. Brigham Young was able to dedicate the St. George Temple in Utah in 1877. I mean the year since he dedicated it on April 6 and he died August 29, 1877. 

He had a great quote that I have to totally agree with it is, " 'Mormonism' has made me all I am; and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that I ever will be, either in time or in eternity.

In the history of Mormonism Joseph Smith Jr. was the very first prophet of the latter days. Joseph Smith was born on December 23,1805 in Sharon, Vermont to Joseph and Lucy Smith. Joseph Smith Jr. was a little farm boy and started to look for a correct gospel. He ran across James 1:5 and took it into effect to have the first vision happen. This happened in 1820 when he was 14 years old. He was told that all were incomplete. 3 years later in 1823 Moroni came to him in the middle of the night and told Joseph about some golden plates that were buried. Later in 1827 Joseph got married. On Jan 18, 1827 he got married to Emma Hale. They were unfortunate to have a majority of their children die though. Out of 9, sadly to say only 4 lived past the age of 2. Joseph finally completed the restoration of the church in the history of Mormonism in the year of 1830. On February 27, 1833 (yes I know, I'm putting a lot of dates) Joseph Smith provided the Word of Wisdom. Later Joseph Smith was martyred in 1844 in Cartage Jail that resides in Illinois. This 27th of February was a sad day in the history of Mormonism. He shared an excellent testimony.
" I had now got my mind satisfied so far as the sectarian world was concerned-that it was not my duty to join with any of them, but to continue as I was until further directed. I had found the testimony of James to be true-that a man who lacked wisdom might ask of God, and obtain, and not be upbraided."

The Prophets in the History of Mormonism

There has been 16 different prophets in the history of Mormonism. This will have a list of them with what years they were leading the church and what I feel the greatest contribution they made was. I will put them in order. From first to last and then also name the years each one lead in the history of Mormonism and What I feel their greatest contribution was while they were President of Mormonism. We start off with Joseph Smith Jr. He went from 1830-1844 and organized the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Next was Brigham Young. He went from 1847 to 1877 and led the Pioneers to Utah so that they would stop getting attacked. 3rd was John Taylor. He make Zion's Central Board of Trade during the years of 1880-1887. Wilford Woodruff went from 1887 to 1898 and Organized the idea of the daily school additions of seminary and Institute for teens and young adults. Lorenzo Snow lead Mormonism 1898-1901. He created the law of tithing. Next was Joseph F. Smith,1901-1918. He did a major event in the history of Mormonism which was to promote scouting so it's basically known as an LDS thing, but still technically a National item. when I was an 11 year old scout we had someone from another religion with us. We're up to the 7th President with being Heber J. Grant. He went from 1918-1945. He created the church welfare program. George Albert Smith did 1945-1951 and had the privilege of having the first televised general conference. This happened on KSL. David O. McKay went from 1951 to 1970 and spread Mormonism across the world. Joseph Fielding Smith went 1970-1972 and created the Mormon magazines: Ensign, New Era, and the Friend. Harold B. Lee is 11th going 1972-1973 and started international missions. Spencer W. Kimball did another marvelous work in the history of Mormonism and let all worthy males have the authority of the Priesthood. He went 1973-1985. Ezra Taft Benson did 1985-1994 and promoted the Book of Mormon like crazy. Howard W. Hunter was in for only 1 year as well running him from 1994-1995 and got the 2000th stake created for Mormonism. Gordon B. Hinckley is 15th in line and went from 1995-2008. He is tied among the Perpetual Education Fund and dedicating more than half the LDS Temples that are currently in use. The 16th and current Prophet is Thomas S. Monson. He started in 2008 and is still going now, of course. He announced a couple monthes ago that men may serve a mission at 18 now and women at 19.

The Willie and Martin Handcart Companies in the History of Mormonism

There is an event in the History of Mormonism that people have heard about called the handcart companies. These Hand cart companies used handcarts due to a lack of money for wagons. There were 10, but I'm going to speak about the 4th and 5th companies. These are the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies. These Two companies both left in 1856 and suffered major trials. Greater than those of other companies. Each Company left at different times and arrives at different times. The Martin Handcart Company was named after Edward Martin. They arrive into Salt Lake on the 9th of November. They had a total of about 220 deaths in both companies. The Willie Handcart Company was named after James G. Willie. They had a harder time. They arrived on the 30th still of November, but they had over 125 deaths to their company. These Two companies had to fight terrible snowstorms that arrived early in the year and due to all the terrible environments events in this moment in the history of Mormonism they had who knows how many amputations of fingers, legs, arms, and whatever else. Just imagine how terrible it would have been like to live in this moment in time with them. They re-enact the handcart companies as a general in an event that happens every four years that teens ages 14-18 can go on with parents approval. It's a ton shorter of course, but they do have two companies that go a further distance to display this. They do this stuff in the summer instead. They just display the Willie and Martin by having them go an extra distance.

The 116 Lost Pages in the History of Mormonism

It was a sad day in the history of Mormonism with the event of having some of the transcript stolen. Back in July of 1828 Martin Harris, one of the participants in translating the Book of Mormon asked if he could bring the translated parts to show his wife. He wanted to do this because his wife was threatening to kick Martin out of the house due to finding disbelief that Martin was actually doing what he was claiming. Joseph was told by Jesus to not allow him. Martin tried a second time and again, got refused. On a third and final time Jesus finally let Martin bring the transcripts back to show select people. Martin sadly did not adhere to these conditions. As result the workings had gotten stolen. Another result of this is that Martin Harris lost the privilege to assist in translating the Book of Mormon and Joseph had the power revoked for a temporary amount of time. Once Joseph Smith had repented he received the Golden Plates, Urim and Thumum, and power to translate again. This time he had a man by the name of Oliver Cowdery to help him in the translating of the plates. There were 116 pages translated at this time which composed the Book of Lehi. Later after Joseph started translating the Plates again he was informed that he should proceed instead of start over due to the man that had stolen them had changed them and would proclaim that the ones the man was holding were the original and that Joseph had changed what was originally on there. This plan to antagonize the translation was planned from Lucifer. I would post the youtube clips here, but they're being uncooperative so here's hyperlinks, part-1, part-2.

The History of Mormonism starts with the son of a man named Joseph Smith. This son's name was Joseph Smith Jr. This male while 14 in the year of 1820 was Exploring a multitude of churches wondering which one of them was the actual true church. He just kept looking and looking and still was puzzled. As he examined them he found a scripture of James 1:5 from the New Testament. This hit him that if you lack wisdom ask God and He will tell you the answer to your question. 

So Joseph went deep into the Sacred Grove to pray to God to ask in which church was the true church. Joseph Smith was suddenly taken upon by a spirit preventing him from being able to speak and was going to lose consciousness when a pillar of light descended from the skies containing two personages. As these two arrived the power left and didn't bind him anymore. One of them called Joseph Smith by name and pointed to the other saying this is my Beloved Son, hear Him. God said this pointing to Jesus Christ. The vision continued and Joseph asked which of the churches were true. Jesus informed him that none were. That they were all wrong to Him and that the true gospel was to be restored to the Earth. Later Joseph was asked to restore the true Church of Jesus Christ, now known as Mormonism.

Mormonism: Sacrament Meeting

A Talk In Sacrament Meeting

I explained Mormonism's Sacrament in another post. That was for the Sacrament portion itself. This post is going to be about Mormonism's full Sacrament meeting. It will vary on which Sunday it is though on what will happen sometimes. Like usually every first Sunday of each month It will be what Mormonism has a "fast Sunday" in case you haven't heard of what is contained in a fast Sunday it's of where people fast, or open with a prayer and then don't eat and have that fast go toward whatever they prayed for. Jesus went through a 40 day fast. Proceeding back to what happens on a Mormonism fast Sunday after the Sacrament is distributed people then have the opportunity to go up to the podium and bare their testimony, or basically share what they have a testimony of. The times that fast Sundays are either postponed, or done early is when the first week of the month is taken by either Mormonism's General Conference, or their Stake Conference. On normal Sundays you have talks given. It varies among wards again. In family Mormonism wards you usually have two youth as in 12-17 year old guys and girls give little 5 minute ideas. Then you have an adult man and an adult woman give about a 15 minute talk each. Sometimes you get a rest hymn, or a musical number. Around the holidays you usually get the ward choir for the musical number. I'm in mine. I actually joined mine on the spot. There was a guy I knew from my family ward previously and he was the only male so I had to join him so that he wasn't alone. I did fail to mention a couple other things that happen. That's that there are opening and closing hymns that play and the congregation sings to at the beginning and and of Sacrament meeting. Then the other item I failed to mention also applies to the individual Sacrament portion as well. It's that there's another hymn that's played and sang to while the Sacrament bread is being broken. Then at the beginning of Sacrament meeting Mormonism matters are brought to attention containing items of the ward and stake.

Mormonism: Sacrament

The true Sacrament was restored through Mormonism. I will speak on how Mormonism administers the Sacrament though. About each male's duty. An item that is needed to be known before explaining is that yes, the people messing around with giving the Sacrament do have to be guys of Mormonism. It requires the Priesthood and its duties. You usually have young guys participating. You do have a minimum age of course though. This age is of 12. I'll start will the highest age of the Aaronic Priesthood. This is The Priests with the ages of 16+. I mention all of this age stuff and duties as well in my Priesthood section. Their duty in the Sacrament is to brake the bread and bless the Sacrament. An item in this is that they can't have the same person do both prayers. Then also the Prayers for each has to be said exact. If screwed up it needs to be said again. I had that flaw my first time. I had to do it three times. I felt so embarrassed. Due to that I have too much fear. Then last week there was one at my ward that had to repeat it once. At that he just corrected it and that's fine as long as it's during.
The next down in age is for the Teachers. They have the duty to prepare the Sacrament for Mormonism. This of course happens before people arrive. I mean preparing in the manner of filling the trays with cups of water and pieces of bread to be blessed and putting the trays on the table to be blessed during the meeting itself. I used to have the duty of doing this even though I am an Elder. I did it even when I was an Elder due to being in a singles ward. Now there has been Priest, or those without the Melchizedek Priesthood come so now it is more closer of their duty. I came one day and they didn't really let me get in to help. I still keep the job of another level of the Aaronic I will mention later. Another job of the teachers is I guess to guard the doors is a way to phrase it. They close the doors of the Chapel room itself so that others can't get in until the Sacrament portion of the meeting is over. Then also to make sure that people/kids don't get out due to unimportant reasons that can wait until after the Sacrament is over.

Now is when I will speak of the Deacon's duty in the Sacrament. The Deacon's duty is to pass it around to those of Mormonism that are worthy to take it and renew their baptismal covenants. It is so sad to see someone nto partake of the Sacrament when they are old enough and a member of Mormonism. That means that they have done something that is a greater sin that they need to repent of. This is the duty I was mentioning previous that I still do constantly. I pass the Sacrament. Really it's something that's supposed to vary among people due to it being in a singles ward, but I guess guys just got enough of it while they were a deacon. I'm the one that usually gives to the Bishop of my ward. You have to ensure that you give it to the Bishop first then the 1st counselor and then the 2nd counselor. Unless you have the Stake President attending. Then you have him. I have to admit I don't know what would happen to have a Quorum of the 70 with you. I've had that happen while I was at my family ward, but I wasn't one to pass at that moment. An item is that the others must wait until the Bishop/Stake President partake of it before you let others. Then once everyone has had a chance you then line up in different spots depending on how your ward chooses and then once the Priests, or other people blessing stand up then you come back to them to hand the current item back for the water, or to end.

Choosing Jesus: Mormonism

Mormonism believes that Jesus Christ was chosen to come before we came to Earth through a select event. This event that Mormonism believes in is referred to as the war in Heaven. In this event Go the Father put forth his plans for creating the Earth. God did announce that he would need someone to go down and suffer for all mankind to be able to return with Him again. At this thought you had two beings to offer. You had Jesus Christ and you had another by the title of Lucifer. Each of them had select requirements though. Jesus was willing to go and let God take credit for everything. Jesus would let everyone choose for themselves if they wanted to go good, or bad. That way you wouldn't be guaranteed to live with God again, but then you're truly tested. I make mention of the "truly tested" deal due to the fact that Lucifer would make it so no one could sin. They wouldn't know right from wrong since you wouldn't be able to do wrong. Lucifer did have another requirement to being the one for coming down and suffering. This is a matter of not God having the credit for everything, but nothing. Instead Lucifer himself would receive the credit for everything that happened. As people can tell Jesus had won. These results were a 2:1 ratio. Basically that 2/3 chose to have Jesus Christ come and 1/3 chose Lucifer to come and die. As a result of his loss Lucifer and his 1/3 were cast out and will not receive bodies for eternal life. Lucifer is now known as Satan, or the Devil.

The Plan of Salvation in Mormonism

Mormonism has the belief of having a pre-earth life as a lot of people have heard, but I what to talk about later with how people lost their memory once they got to the earth. This whole thing that I am going to talk about is the Plan of Salvation. This little episode in which you forget stuff is referred to as the veil. Here you get born to receive a body and are tested. Varying on how you do here is where you end up once you die here. Once you die you are then sent, varying among how you acted, to either what Mormonism refers to as Spirit Prison and Spirit Paradise. We will remain in these areas until Jesus Christ Comes another time. You know of how Mormonism prosolites the Jesus will comes again. At this point people will be brought to an event that's referred to as the final judgement. With this it decided upon your doings of the Earth and after. With your judgement you are decided to go into one of three levels of descending order. Celestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and Telestial Kingdom. An easy way to remember it is basically Sea turtle. Sea, Celestial, tur, Terrestrial, tle, Telestial. That's just the amount of happiness of descending. The Telestial, or least pleasant Kingdom is going to be about as happy as Earth. There is one last spot that isn't enjoyable period. This place is said to have weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. This sad spot is known as outer darkness. You are alone for all eternity. No one can visit you. It's the hardest to get here though. Another fact is that the Celestial Kingdom is split into three more degrees. On the highest of those you do have to be a part of Mormonism though. It's due to having to be married in a temple. Those of the higher Kingdoms are able to visit those of the lesser Kingdoms. Again, just not outer darkness.

Mormonism's General Beliefs

I am going to talk about some of Mormonism's beliefs. One of which is going to be what we call the scriptures. Mormonism has 4 sources for scripture. Three of them are translated. Those are the Book of Mormon, the King James format of the Holy Bible, and the final has one part that isn't translated, but called the Pearl of Great Price. The Pearl of Great Price contains some of Moses and Abraham with being the translated and Joseph Smith history for the record of the beginning of Mormonism, the first vision. The 4th that was just written was the records of the creation of Mormonism. 

In Mormonism there's 2 levels of the Priesthood, power of God. There is the lesser, priesthood of Aaron, and the higher priesthood, Melchizedek. It goes to worthy males ages 12+. Then we have Bishops, Patriarchs, Stake Presidents, Apostles and a Prophet. These are positions of the higher priesthood. 

Mormonism has the belief of the existence of a God, Jesus Christ, and a Holy Ghost. A comparison of Mormonism to other Christian religions is that we believe that those three are three separate beings. They still act as one, but technically separate. Also that there was a debate referred to as the war in heaven. This is where we decided whether Jesus, or Lucifer (aka: Satin) would come and die to atone for our sins. 

Mormonism got moved twice due to their beliefs. Starting with Kirtland Ohio, evacuated to Navuu, then pushed to Utah. Before Mormonism got pushed to Utah Joseph Smith and his brother were martyred. The people that traveled to Utah were known as the pioneers. They finally got to Utah in the year 1847

Another item to Mormonism is of having what is referred to as the Plan of Salvation. It is posted to the left. In it you had a pre-mortal life leading to here. After you die you go to either spirit paradise (Heaven), or spirit prison (Hell). That is only for a temporary amount of time. It then goes onto the final stage once Jesus Christ comes a second time. At that moment varying on your doings in the post-mortal state you get sent to the Telestial Kingdom, Terestrial Kingdom, Celestial Kingdom, or Outer Darkness. It is the hardest thing to get into Outer Darkness.
