    Elder Orson Pratt of the Quorum of the Twelve and Erastus Snow were the first Latter-day Saints to enter the Great Basin, arriving in what is now Salt Lake City on 21 July 1847. They were followed by the advance party that included President Brigham Young. On 24 July, Brigham Young and the rest of the group of 148 saints arrived and on 28 July, President Young selected the site where the Salt Lake Temple would be built.
  • Reach out, extend 'hand that helps'

    Two weeks after presiding at the Church's 179th Semiannual General Conference, President Thomas S. Monson was back in the Conference Center speaking to Church members from 109 stakes located on the south end of the Salt Lake Valley on Sunday, Oct. 18.
  • Living by the scriptures

    "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
  • 'An awesome experience' clearing temple road

    The hundreds of thousands of people who will tour the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple in the coming weeks likely won't notice the trash-free highway that leads to the new edifice. Their attention will be focused squarely on the temple.
