By the way, sweet milk is an old fashioned term used during pioneer days referring to whole milk (straight out of the cow). Since you probably don't have a cow, go for whole milk right out of the carton !
Wilford Woodruff was one of the Church's most successful missionaries. He kept meticulous journals, for his own personal observations and for historical events, and talks given by the early leaders of the church. Duringhis presidency he was inspired to write The Manefesto- a document that ended plural marriage for members of the Church. You can read this document in your scriptures- D&C-Official Declaration 1.

During General Conference in April 1894, President Woodruff announced that he had received a revelation about genealogical work. He declared that God wanted the Latter-day Saints "To trace their genealogies as far as you can get it...This is the will of the Lord to his people." Wilford Woodruff was the first President of the St. George Temple and dedicated the Manti Temple, and the Salt Lake Temple. Dedicatory services for the Salt Lake Temple lasted over a month.. from April 6 to May 18, 1893. Over 75,000 people attended. (See also the President Fact sheets comparing the first four presidents at the beginning of the blog). Memorable Quotes from President Wilford Woodruff:
1. “It is comforting to think that in the morning of the resurrection, my spirit will have the privilege of dwelling in the very same body that it occupied here. I would be very glad to have the same body in the resurrection with which I waded swamps, swam rivers and labored to build up the kingdom of God here on the earth.”
( Deseret News : Semi-Weekly December 28, 1875.)
2. "No obstacles are insurmountable when God commands and we obey."
3. "Upon the shoulders of you mothers rests; in a great measure, the responsibility of correctly developing the mental and moral powers of the rising generation...I have often said it is the mother who forms the mind of the child. Take men anywhere, at sea, sinking with their ship, dying in battle, lying down in death almost under any circumstances, and the last thing they think if, the last word they say is "mother." Such is the influence of woman."
4. "Those men who laid the foundation of this American government and signed the Declaration of Independence were the best spirits the God of heaven could find on the face of the earth. They were choice spirits, not wicked men. General Washington and all the men who labored for the purpose were inspired of the Lord."
5. “As the taste for what may be called book-learning increases, manual labor should not be neglected. The education of the mind and the education of the body should go hand in hand. A skillful brain should be joined with a skillful hand. Manual labor should be dignified among us and always be made honorable. The tendency, which is too common in these days, for young men to get a smattering of education and then think themselves unsuited for mechanical or other laborious pursuits is one that should not be allowed to grow among us....Everyone should make it a matter of pride to be a producer, and not a consumer alone. “
