1193. 200 years ago today was a VERY significant day ! Videos and things to read about the First Vision of the Prophet Joseph Smith!




TODAY is the day to watch these videos, if you have time.  We are today celebrating, according to this
 video - and the proof is here! -- a most important day in the history of the entire world,
 since Jesus Christ was on the earth.


How Lovely Was the Morning – Documentary [HD]
 NEW DOCUMENTARY ON THE FIRST VISION


Also, an article on Book of Mormon blog is about what was in the video, but has more interesting things 
also, that have been studied by scientists, etc.


This comment below was also in that article above, which is fascinating!  

 March 26th would become a "favorite" date for Joseph Smith. That date has stuck in my mind 
ever since I learned that two events happened on that day, one in 1839 and one in 1844.
 26 March 1844, a meeting meeting was held in which Joseph Smith gave his “Last Charge”
 to the Quorum of the Twelve and “roll[ed] the kingdom off [his] shoulders” onto theirs in the
 presence of the Council of Fifty. Truman Madsen explained that he chose that date because 
on 26 March 1839 (Now D&C Section 122) he was told, "Thy days are known, and thy years 
shall not be numbered less." More specific he was told 5 years. March 26th has a very special 
meaning to Joseph Smith.   

 
Below a good one!  But notice where the stop button is -- because it has so many good quotes, 
but they go by so fast you can't read them before they're gone.  And scroll down the right side,
 and there are suggestions of other similar videos.

Watch "The restoration is here" on YouTube


These may take awhile to watch and read, but I believe they really will help us in our preparation
 for our General Conference, to be held a week from this coming Saturday and Sunday, April 4th and 5th!

I want all who receive this, and read it, to know I have a testimony of the Prophet
 Joseph Smith's First Vision, and I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints
 is the only true and living Church on the earth.  I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, 
and loves each of us with an infinite love, as does Heavenly Father also.  I build my life on it daily, 
and want to be faithful to the end of my life.  
Love, Mom, Grandma, Pal,

2011. “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing”: Mental Health and the Spirit of God By Roger Connors · June 3, 2022, from Meridian Magazine

 I have loved how Wilford Woodruff wrote "I went on my way rejoicing!" “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing”: Mental Health and the Spirit of God  By  Roger Connors  · June 3, 2022 As a mission president, you are constantly looking for ways to help missionaries cope with the anxiety and stress of life on a mission. While it can be incredibly rewarding, missionary work isn’t easy—particularly when life provides a surprise like a worldwide pandemic that literally increases the difficulty of missionary life in an instant. Add to that the normal challenges of mental and physical health that manifest at this age and the need becomes even clearer: mental health isn’t something you can just assume, it’s something you have to develop and maintain. [1] I remember being quite amazed at the missionary life of Wilford Woodruff. He participated in the difficult march with Zion’s camp, then chose to stay in Missouri to do missionary work. He was an amazing missionary, serving several missions

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

Image
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 Cumorah.  The Hill Cumorah pageant had its beginnin

How appropriate this is for July 24th, in just 3 days!  This is for all you readers who have pioneer ancestors , or you are a pioneer in your own family, or country.  You can send in your own story! Today I begin a training period so I can go back to our local Family History Center, and be a volunteer to help others.  From about 1992 to 2011, I volunteered, and 2 times served a 1 year mission there.  But since then, there are so many new things in technology that I need to catch up!   I took a class recently on how to upload photos and other memories on to Family Search, in Family Tree, and I have had so much fun doing that!  Both Wayne and I have had health problems over the last year or two, but we are at a time things are going better, and I want to get back to one of the things I love most -- FAMILY HISTORY, AND GENEALOGY! ! !
