“Brethren, I have been very much edified and instructed in your testimonies here tonight, but I want to say to you before the Lord, that you know no more concerning the destinies of this church and kingdom than a babe upon its mother’s lap. You don’t comprehend it.” “It is only a handful of priesthood you see here tonight, but this church will fill North and South America it will fill the world.”
“It will fill the Rocky Mountains. There will be tens of thousands of Latter-day Saints who will be gathered to the Rocky Mountains, and there they will open the door for the establishing of the gospel among the Lamanites, who will receive the gospel and their endowments and the blessings of God. This people will go into the Rocky Mountains; they will there build temples to the Most High. They will raise up a posterity there, and the Latter-day Saints who dwell in these mountains will stand in the flesh until the coming of the Son of Man. The Son of Man will come to them while in the Rocky Mountains.” (Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, pp. 38,39)
"I contemplated several things as I was there, one of the most amazing to me being that from that hillside temple site at the southeast end of the Salt Lake Valley you can see three temples, Draper, Jordan River, and Oquirrh Hills. If there weren't so many tall buildings surrounding it you could see Salt Lake too. What a blessing to this place!" (Laurie's Blog on Feb. 27, 2009 )
Thanks, Laurie, for a great ending to my Sunday School lesson. Sometimes I forget we are seeing prophecieis fulfilled all around us.
