Ensign magazine established January 1971 celebrates 40 years.





January 1971 the Ensign, official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was established. September 5, 1971, the first singles branch in San Francisco held its first meeting in Bay Ward chapel. I was in attendance that historic day. I'd been attending Sunset Ward and was invited to the singles branch. Early on I began reading the Ensign cover to cover so that even if an article didn't interest me I'd read it anyway and was glad I did. This habit continues to this day. I read 20 pages each Sabbath. Sunday I took my copy on my walk to the pond and enjoyed reading as I was blessed by the company of ducks and geese on a fine afternoon.
