Zion
The pure in heart (D&C 97: 21). Zion also means a place where the pure in heart live. The city built by Enoch and his people that was eventually taken to heaven because of righteousness was named Zion (D&C 38: 4; Moses 7: 18-21, 69).

The Saints are counseled to build up Zion wherever they are living in the world.
