Section 59

 Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things.
 Thou shalt offer a sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
 And that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day;
 10 For verily this is a day appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High;
Watch golf sparingly.

Section 58

Here are several relevant verses:

 For after much tribulation come the blessings.
 26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
 27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
 28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

 42 Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.

Section 57

The Lord reveals that Independence, Missouri, is the place that Zion is to be built.  The temple site is also revealed.  Our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ want us to be firmly “planted” in gospel soil.  We must bloom where we are planted and not always think that there would be a better place to live or work or attend church.
