Because
so many Saints crossed the ocean from Europe to America, shipping companies and
ship captains were willing to hold the ship if the Saints needed the ship to
momentarily be stalled. Why was the ship Enoch Train held up in early 1856?

C A recommend
After
Jackson County had been designated by a July 1831 revelation as the location of
the city of Zion, other revelations directed how decisions would be made as to
who would go to Missouri. Section 58 in the Doctrine and Covenants, revealed on
August 1, 1831, stated that after Bishop Edward Partridge let Church leaders
know how many people could be accommodated in Jackson County, the elders of the
Church would decide who would go. Section 63, revealed on August 30, 1831, also
said that Joseph Smith would be able to determine by the Spirit other
individuals who needed to go to Zion. Those going to Zion had to have a
recommend from either Bishop Newel K. Whitney in Kirtland or from three elders
in the area where they lived before they could depart. Using such a process,
the Church had approximately 1,200 members in Missouri by early 1833.
