Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

In my childhood home we observed the Sabbath Day and were taught to keep it holy.  Ofttimes we'd see friends outside playing and/or neighbors going for recreational activities.  We knew, thanks to parental and prophetic teachings, to keep the day holy (and different from the rest of the week) but it wasn't until later that I understood, more in-depth, why.

While serving as a missionary in Mexico - in the late 80's - we had a question come from a member of another faith.  He sincerely wanted to know why we honored the sabbath on Sunday instead of on Saturday.
