Sunday Tidbits- The Last of Mapping Mormonism

Image result for lds mapping mormonism

In my forest service career I worked with maps extensively. They became a part of me, and I grew to love them. Because of this love of maps, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book Mapping Mormonism. I’ve used many of the interesting facts in this blog brought out by this unique book. I encourage any interested in Church history to purchase or sign out from your local library this intriguing book. It’s with sadness that I use the last three remaining questions from this book.


1.      Who is the most traveled prophet?


a.      Moses

b.      Joseph Smith

c.       Gordon B. Hinckley

d.      Spencer W. Kimball


2.      Who was the first prophet to circumnavigate the globe?

a.      George Albert Smith

b.      Thomas S. Monson

c.       David O. McKay

d.      Gordon B. Hinckley


3.      How many miles has the most traveled prophet journeyed?

a.      1.2 million miles

b.      830, 000 miles

c.       510,000 miles

d.      478,000 miles


Yesterday’s answer:


(D)   Hundreds


Many other visions and appearances of the Lord were experienced in the Kirtland Temple by individuals who had sacrificed and labored for its completion. Orson Pratt recalled, “In that house the veil was taken away from the eyes of many of the servants of God and they beheld his glory.” According to one estimate, “Hundreds of others” had such experiences. Joseph Smith promised, “All who are prepared, and are sufficiently pure to abide the presence of the Savior, will see him in the solemn assembly [in the temple].”
