“Mormons turned a swamp into a metropolis. Then they turned a desert into an empire. It’s the most American story.”

Their religious beliefs take them to Missouri. Neighbors learn they are anti-slavery and violently drive them out.

They go to Illinois and turn a swamp into a city that rivals Chicago. Only to have violent mobs run them out.

They walk toward Utah. Hoping to find a safe place to gather.

Jim Bridger mocks them. He bets $1,000 they can’t grow crops in Utah. They continue anyway.

The Utah soil is so hard it breaks their plows. So they engineer a way to water a desert.

Their crops grow. Salt Lake City sprawls. They expand. Latter-day Saints settle 500 towns across the West. A network of farms, commerce, and faith.

Their women become the first women to vote. They elect America’s first female state senator.

Their women organize themselves. With very little training, they create a system that lowers infant mortality to among the lowest rates in the country.

When the Depression hits, Latter-day Saints implement the most effective welfare program in the country. Decades later, Ronald Reagan studies it and calls it a model for the country. Its impact is seen today as Utah has the lowest usage of federal food assistance in the country.

The pursuit of knowledge and science becomes a hallmark. They start universities. They send their smartest men and women back east to learn the latest ideas and bring them back.

They are innovative. Technology that changes the world emerges from their culture. The television. The artificial heart. The weapons that won WWII. The beginnings of the internet.

The work ethic and cooperation that propelled them to develop the American West continues today. Their outsized influence on the world is famous.

They know religious persecution better than most. So they champion religious freedom for all, even those they disagree with.

Sociologists are obsessed with their outcomes. A Princeton researcher studied teens in America. She concluded that “Mormon teens are faring best.” Harvard data recently found that kids who grow up in Latter-day Saint homes are the most likely to say they feel loved by both parents. Other national studies consistently find them to be the happiest people in the country.

Gallup finds they are the most observant Christians in the country, a dedication to their faith that is unrivaled. Pew Research finds they know many Bible stories better than any other Christians.

A swamp became a metropolis. A desert became an empire. A persecuted people became the happiest in America. That’s the most American story ever told.

@813b0ssman @Beckyverdeja Neither. Both of those always say “Sold Out” so we got the Silver Membership. The hope is that on the renewal period we can upgrade…

Wouldn’t it be great if President Trump changed the name of ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so that the media would have to say NICE agents all day every day?

🧐😜

Wouldn’t that be NICE?

A heavy November rainstorm produced a stunning double rainbow over the Yorba Linda California Temple, which has been under construction for approximately two-and-a-half years, having started about a year after groundbreaking. There are currently four dedicated temples in Southern California, and the temple in Yorba Linda will be the fifth. Members in the area are eagerly awaiting an announcement of the open house and dedication dates from the First Presidency. (Photo: Ricky Rod) #yorbalindatemple #yorbalindacaliforniatemple

@elonmusk @mandaannie49 I guess making the government more efficient isn’t very popular. Perhaps because those not wanting this are living off the government and thus pay little to no taxes!

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — President Russell M. Nelson, President Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring — has released the following Easter message:

During this joyful Easter season, we join with faithful followers of the Savior in celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Resurrection is a gift to all of Heavenly Father’s children who have ever lived on this earth.

We testify that Jesus Christ gives rest to those who are “heavy laden” (Matthew 11:28). He knows “how to succor his people according to their infirmities” (Alma 7:12) because He took upon Himself our pains and sins. “He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows ... and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5).

Those who exercise faith in Him, keep His commandments, and receive the saving and exalting ordinances “shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal” (Moroni 7:41). 

We invite all to come unto Jesus “that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Binding ourselves to Him through making and keeping covenants enriches our lives now and eternally. May you find hope, healing, and happiness as you draw nearer to the Savior of the world this Easter season.

@efrandsen Definitely NOT a coincidence. This guy getting hauled out was the highlight of our night!

[SRLMD @SRLMD]

AMEN!!!!

[SRLMD @SRLMD]

I’m truly amazed by Elon’s willingness to tolerate harsh criticism on the very social media platform he rescued to preserve free speech. He’s a true American Hero! 🇺🇸

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I am endlessly amused by the infinite indignities I suffer on the very platform that I own

Teslas now drive themselves from their birthplace at the factory to their designated loading dock lanes without human intervention

Special morning to be in our nation’s capital. On this Martin Luther King Day and Inauguration Day, we pray for peace and the beloved community. And we pray for Pres. Trump, his family and all who lead us.

Dr. King once said, "Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve." True greatness lies in lifting others, making a difference, and serving with purpose. Let’s honor his legacy by finding ways to serve and create a better world together. #MLKDay
