remembering Joseph

Today I had the privilege of being in Carthage, IL. And why was today so special compared to any other day? Today is the anniversary date of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith. We were able to attend the commemoration right outside the jail that began at 5:17 pm, the actual time of the death of the prophet.

There were musical numbers and the Nauvoo temple president shared a good message about the life of the prophet.

How special it was to be there with others and think on all that happened there and remember his life. I am so grateful for Joseph’s faithfulness and diligence. Words can’t describe my gratitude for the work he did. And he did it because he knew it was true. He did it for us. And he did it because he loved God.  essay11
