Correction on the times of the Joseph Smith Documentary!

EXTRA ! ! 

 Check the article about the Joseph Smith Documentary.  I gave the wrong time for Utah, and there is a link in there which tells the right time.  It is today, Sunday October 1st, at 2 p.m., the first showing, and I'm recording it, as it is the same time as the afternoon session of conference.

 For those who haven't heard, Elder Robert D. Hales passed away today at 12:15 p.m., just after the morning conference ended.

I am listening to fire works in a place near us.  But I am home, and thinking about the very inspiring concert we watched, near our Centerville community theater here.  We watched in our cars, but the music and sound system were great!  They sang a lot of very patriotic numbers, and brought a wonderful feeling of patriotism.  I'll write about July 4th tomorrow!  “Family Angels” Dispatched for Our Good By  Anne Hinton Pratt  · July 1, 2020 Cover image: “Us with Them and Them with Us” by  Caitlin Connolly .   See more from Caitlin at @caitlin_connolly_.

66. Colorful ancestor, John Lowe Butler, Bodyguard to Joseph Smith

Image
My second great grandfather on my mother's side lived quite an amazing life.  He had many health problems in his life, and yet he became strong enough to be one of the Prophet Joseph Smith's bodyguards in the last years of the Prophet's life.  His Gallitan, Missouri, fight incident is well known in Church  history.          John Lowe Butler, was born Apr, 8, 1808, in  Kentucky, to James and Charity Lowe Butler.  He was not a healthy child.  When he was seven years old he was stricken with inflammatory rheumatism which spread over his body from his toes to his fingertips.  This disease returned once or twice a year until he was 20.  When he was 19, the pain settled in his left side and his thigh and his arm began to fail him.  John became so frail that his mother could carry him about in her arms.  In spite of his long, continued illness, he stood six feet tall when he was 22. His extensive autobiography shows...

211. The Palmyra Temple -- The rest of the story -- (History)

Subject: Palmyra Temple--Rest of the Story T We rarely know all the details of a completed temple.   Much goes on in the months and years prior to its completion.   The Palmyra, NY temple is no exception and the story is one of great vision, insight and the Lord's intervention . The story starts years before, perhaps years before anyone thought to build a temple here.    In 1907 Apostle George Albert Smith purchased a portion of the original Smith farm for $16,000.   In 1915 he sold it to the Church for $1.00 and President Joseph F. Smith called Bro Willard Bean and wife Rebecca on a 5 year mission to manage the farm and be the first stationary missionaries in the area since the Saints removed to Ohio in 1830.  They served here for 25 years! making numerous improvements to the farm,  softening the attitudes of the local residents, helping the Church to acquire more of the farm, and even the hill we now call the Hill C...
