How Joseph Smith Spent His Last Christmas by Laura F. Willes, excerpted from "Christmas with the Prophets"  | Dec. 22, 2018 Mormon Life The 1843 Christmas in Nauvoo was the last one Joseph Smith Jr. was to spend on earth.

today is the Prophet Joseph Smith's 213rd birthday!  I posted this on December 23, 2016, and I want to post it again! FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2016 766. Today is the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthday! 212 years ago today he was born! I also reaffirm my testimony this year, 2017! This year, 2016, I reconfirm my testimony which has been shared 4 times now -- 2013, 2014, 2015, and now 2016. I have loved the Prophet Joseph Smith, and learning about him as long as I can consciously remember!   I was born of goodly parents who also loved him and taught me of him.  I love to read of his life and teachings.  I know that he is a true prophet!  This same entry was posted on his birthday since I started this post in 2013 (with alterations each year).  I hope you enjoy reading it!  (in 2014) I hope whoever reads this has a few minutes to ponder these testimonies about the Prophet Joseph Smith, whose birthday is today. ...

Peterson gave this talk we are excerpting at the FAIRMormon conference in August of 2016, and  it can be read in its entirety here . We are rerunning it here in honor of the prophet Joseph Smith’s birthday on December 23.  Sometimes people say “All right, name your single best evidence for the Book of Mormon” or “Name the three absolute proofs for the Book of Mormon.” Peterson said, “I don’t believe there are any such things. I think that what Latter-day Saint scholars – apologists, if you want to use that term – have thought they were doing with the Book of Mormon…is constructing a cumulative case, no one element of which...

I just learned something!  Perhaps you may already know, but it is exciting!  Go to www.familysearch.org, and after you sign in, and the heading across the top says:    Family tree, search, memories, Indexing, and Temple -- Click on "Temple".  You may have some reserved, but look in the list going down:  All Reserved, Printed, Not printed, Shared, and then Ordinances Ready! Click on the Ordinances Ready tab!  It will bring up the categories that you can check to see if a name is available -- Baptism and Confirmation, Initiatory, Endowment, Sealing to Parents, and Sealing to Spouse.  You can click on whatever ordinance you would like to do -- and print it out, and take it to the Temple!  If you don't have a name of your own, it searches any available, and either brings them up, or offers some names which have been submitted to the Temple by others, which you can print and do!   EXCITING!   The work is done for y...
