Mormon History: Brigham Young - LDS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

"'Mormonism' has made me all I am; and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that I ever will be, either in time or in eternity." -Brigham Young

Brigham Young was born June 1, 1801, in Whitingham, Vermont. In 1835, three years after he joined the Mormon Church, Brigham Young was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. As successor to Joseph Smith, Brigham Young led the migration west in 1846-47 to the Rocky Mountains and founded Salt Lake City. He was sustained as President of the Church on December 27, 1847. As Church President and Territorial Governor of Utah, Brigham Young established Latter-day Saint settlements in Utah and throughout the American West. Under his direction, construction commenced on the Salt Lake, St. George, and Logan temples. He brought the telegraph and the railroad to Utah and encouraged cooperative industry among Latter-day Saints, and Brigham Young encouraged excellence and refinement in every aspect of life. Brigham Young died August 29, 1877 in Salt Lake City after nearly 30 years as Church President.

Praise God for Joseph Smith and the Restoration-and Praise God for Joseph Smith III and the Reorganisation!

I thought it was very well done. good images, good transitions, nice music.

I know only a little of the history of utah, so I am not too familiar with stories of Brigham Young. I visited the Lion House where he lived with all his wives. I thought it was so tiny for so many people, but very nicely made.

I am not a religious person, so I do not have any comments about him in a religious sort of way.

I just liked your video. thanks.

Brother Brigham Young:

The Lion of God

The American Moses

Without him, Joseph Smith's efforts to restore the Church of Christ would have truly been lost.

[Setka1982]

Mormon is a great religion.
