The persecution of the Church and the Prophet Joseph had increased and he records, "although we this time were forced to seek safety from our enemies by flight, yet did we feel confident that eventually we should come off victorious, if we only continued faithful to Him who had called us forth from darkness in the marvelous light of the everlasting Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (History of the Church, 1:101).1838 - Just over 500 Saints gathered "about one hundred rods south of the House of the Lord" in Kirtland, Ohio, to organize themselves for the journey to Missouri. They were the remaining faithful Saints in Kirtland who were poor and who joined together for the journey west. They would arrive in October, 1838, where the Prophet Joseph Smith settled them in Adam-ondi-Ahman---just a couple weeks before the mob action against the Saints resulted in the Extermination Order. This journey of faithful Saints from Kirtland to Missouri would become one of the great stories in Church History.1873 - Zion's Savings Bank and Trust is organized with Brigham Young as president.
