This week in Come Follow Me we are in the Pearl of Great Price. I'll go over a bit of the history of that book, then spend a moment with Lucy Mack Smith, before getting to the main event: the First Vision. There are many, many lectures and talks about this sacred moment, so I'll be focusing on what happened before and what happened after.
