“To be gentle and kind, modest and truthful, to be full of faith and integrity, doing no wrong is of God; goodness sheds a halo of loveliness around every person who possesses it, making their countenances beam with light, and their society desirable because of its excellency. They are loved of God, of holy angels, and of all the good earth, while they are hated, envied, admired, and feared by the wicked.”

Brigham Young
Brigham Young was a significant figure in the history of the Latter-day Saints, playing a pivotal role in the expansion of the movement into the American West. Born on June 1, 1801, in Whitingham, Vermont, he became a convert to Mormonism and a close associate of Joseph Smith, the movement's founder. Following Smith's death, Young assumed leadership of the LDS Church and led its members to the Salt Lake Valley in present-day Utah. His vision and leadership were instrumental in the establishment of Salt Lake City and the surrounding communities. He passed away on August 29, 1877. more
