Continue to study the scriptures! This man just translated the record and is told to continue studying! All things done in common consent- we sustain one another, support one another! Forgive weakness and faults and trust god will help us all become more than we are on our own.

Thou art an Elect Lady- praise to the man, and to his wife!

Thou art called to prune my vineyard with a mighty pruning-

Thou art under no condemnation- thy duty is to exhortation, strengthen the church- to thy family forever. This church was a family affair! The entire smith family gave their all- took up the cross.

Just as the law of Moses was done when Christ was crucified, previously baptized members needed to be re-baptized with the proper authority!

Joseph is called as the first prophet in these latter days! How blessed we are to have the mouthpiece of God to guide us!

Joseph’s prayer about baptism- the correct way, the correct authority, all outlined for us along with priesthood offices and sacrament!

11 years after the first vision and finally the Church of Jesus Christ is restored! His authority, His power, His covenants!

What an opportunity to give all to the Lord- Martin does! “Canst thou be humble and meek, and conduct thyself wisely before me? Yea, come unto me thy Savior!” What an invitation to us all.

Endless punishment, eternal punishment =God’s punishment. God who suffered for us, knows is, wants us all back! We suffer only until we turn to Him and accept His gift!
