I just want to record for my journal that I know he was a prophet. I have always known it. For some reason this is something I have never had to question or struggle with. From the time I was a child the spirit witnessed to me that his account of the vision he had in the Sacred Grove truly happened. I know that this knowledge is a gift to me from God. As I have gone through my 51 years of life so far, I have had my share of good times and hard times. Sometimes when you go through those times it is easy to complain and/or waver. It is this knowledge that he was a prophet and saw God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, His Son in that grove that gets me through. Because that really happened everything else is true and falls into it's proper place.
I am grateful to pause today and think of Joseph.
