    I enjoyed every minute listening to the stories of Porter Rockwell! I was glued to the computer the whole time! You told them and made them so interesting.
    I tried to write down what the Prophet Joseph Smith told him about being faithful to his covenants….
    Could you send me an email with that quote? I loved it.
    Thanks so much!

      “As long as you are true and faithful to your covenants, to the Church, and to your God, no bullet or blade will ever harm you.” This is Joseph’s prophecy to Porter which is recorded in the History of the Church.

    Thank you for the interesting insights to Brother Porter Rockwell. Your stories give me courage for some things going on in my family right now. These are becoming the times that try mens’ souls, may we be faithful and true to our covenants. Looking forward to the next ones.
