From Deseret News archives:
Brother Brigham's journal: July 24, 2007
What a day! We finally ended our long trek across the plains and entered a beautiful mountain valley. The joy of my arrival, however, has been short-lived.
I love all my brothers and sisters, but they challenge my patience. I've suffered a raging fever, and Brother Orrin Hatch keeps pushing his vitamins and supplements (and singing songs) to make me feel better. Almost every missionary who served in the Polynesian islands is trying to get me to drink some root juice with a weird name.
While prosperity is a blessing, I am concerned about the results. Instead of storing food, the Saints just want a new Costco. I've had to emphasize that the first structure on Ensign Peak will not be a cell phone tower but rather a monument to our efforts. After sharing with some teenagers my desire for a Deseret alphabet, I was initially pleased with their suggestions. However, I've since learned these are just abbreviated text-messaging words. Now I hear several of the brothers are selling recordings of my speeches through something called "multi-level marketing."
After breaking a plow in the hard sod, we tried to dam off City Creek, and some club from the Sierra mountains sued me and an engineer corps from the Army demanded an EIS, whatever that is.
