Just a reminder we will not meet this Thursday, October 11, for institute classes. Next Thursday, October 18, we will discuss chapters 8-9 in Church History in the Fulness of Times, "
Gathering To Ohio" and "
Gathering to the Land of Zion." For those who are interested in reading more about this period in church history, here are a few articles with links:
"
The First Road West: From New York to Kirtland, 1831," Ensign, Jan. 1979
"
'Steadfastness and Patient Endurance': The Legacy of Edward Partridge," Ensign, June 1979
"
To Prepare a People," Ensign, Jan. 1979
"
Independence, Missouri, and the Mormons, 1827-1833," (pdf) BYU Studies, 1972
And here are a few study questions related to these chapters:
1. Which section of the Doctrine and Covenants was received by revelation at the third conference of the Church on Jan. 2, 1831? What was promised in this revelation?
2. What miracle of migration did Lucy Mack Smith record?
3. List challenges encountered by Joseph Smith and the early saints in northern Ohio. Why would the Lord allow members of the Church to experience these problems when he commanded them to go and extended great promises to them?
4. Who was the first bishop of the Church? What were his responsibilities?
5. What was noteworthy about the Newel K. Whitney store in Kirtland?
6. What three groups traveled from Kirtland to Missouri? Why did they go? How far was it?
7. What was the cost of an acre of land in Independence, MO, in 1831?
8. Who dedicated the temple site in Independence, MO? When was it dedicated?
9. Name the periodical published in Independence, beginning in 1832.
