Join us today as we continue our study of this week's Come Follow Me materials with one of the earliest recorded revelations we have given to Joseph. We considerwhat this teaches about the character of Joseph's father and we reflect on how we can desire to serve God. 

Revelations in Context: Soon after returning to Manchester, Joseph Sr. agreed to welcome as a boarder at his home a schoolteacher named Oliver Cowdery. Joseph Sr. hesitated when Cowdery, who had heard rumors about Joseph Jr.’s visions and the plates, began to pepper him with questions. Father Smith may have been reluctant due to the harassment his family had received from neighbors and local clergy. Whatever the reason for his initial hesitation, he yielded to the revelation’s mandate and served as a faithful witness to Joseph Smith’s early visions.
