I substituted in Relief Society because our teacher was ill.
It was only my second time teaching R.S. and it was still a little scary.
Thank heavens we have awesome ladies in our ward that make amazing comments that made the lesson!
It was the first lesson I've taught using the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith manual.
I've skimmed over the lessons in the past but never studied them like I did this week.
(I really need to read all the lessons I missed while in Primary.)
The lesson today was on Joseph Smith's feelings about his Prophetic Mission.
Almost the whole lesson was made up of his very own words.
Amazing.
If you haven't read this, you really should.
I am thankful that Joseph Smith was so willing to suffer the awful things he had to suffer just to bring the restored gospel to earth again.
I am thankful that even when he knew he would die once his prophetic mission was complete, he remained to be the loving, kind man that he was.
I love hearing the accounts of those who knew him and how they loved him.
I am thankful for Joseph Smith.
