October 20, 2007, Oakland, PAThere are moments in life when we need to make decisions. To follow one path or another.
In this moment, I am greatful Joseph Smith chose the path he chose. I am sitting near the banks of the Susquehanna River where Joseph and Oliver received the Aaronic priesthood and subsequently baptized each other.
There is peace here and a strong spirit. To know that near here joseph translated most of the Book of Mormon by the power of God; to know that God appeared to Joseph on this sacred ground; to think about how much Joseph and Emma must have suffered here; to know the mobs came here to attack Joseph and as a result he and Emma lost a child.
Such great faith began on this holy ground. How amazing it is to feel its spirit. How wonderful it is to know it wasn't all in vain and that it still continues on today through a prophet called of God.
