Here is a preview of some of the Church History stories included in the video link below to go along with your Come Follow Me studies this week:
The miracle of how the Lord directed the Smith Family to Palmyra.
The details that led to some of Joseph’s confusion, including the “bad business deal”?
Some of the details of the Sacred Grove, the First Vision, and what President Nelson says we can learn from the First Vision.
What happened to Joseph Smith’s siblings, and what role did they play in the Restoration?
As always, see the pictures of where these events took place! Beyond Come Follow Me: Joseph Smith History 1: 1-26, Week 2
I hope that the historical background of the revelations we will be studying, and the inspiring, and uplifting stories from our Church’s history each week might be of some value to you.
Have a great day!
