Murmur not because of the things which thou has not seen, for they are withheld from the and from the world, which is wisdom in me in a time to come.

Down from generation until the time comes-- I wrote while he translated for a time. I caused that they should hide themselves without the walls.

Emma? Yes? Was there a wall around Jerusalem? Yes. I didn't know. I'm not sure how to pronounce the next one. I'll just spell it. L-E-M-U-E-L It was marvelous to me as much as anyone else I knew the book was of divine authenticity. I had not the slightest doubt of it. When the translation was nearly completed, Joseph said that a few would be privileged to see the plates for themselves I fancied I might be among them. Emma, he's making a fool out of you. I can't believe that a daughter of mine could be so taken in.

You haven't seen this record? Then how can be certain he even has this gold Bible? Emma, I taught you better than this.

Father, sometimes you know things with your heart that you don't know with your head.

Emma. Emma, it's finished.

And the office of thy calling shall be for a comfort onto my servant, Joseph Smith, Jr, thy husband, in his afflictions, with consoling words in the spirit of meekness. I don't understand, Joseph. How does Martin lose 116 pages? We looked everywhere. He promised he would keep it safe. I should have listened to the Lord. He only wanted to convince his wife. The Lord said no, and I kept asking. I feared man more than God. Well then, it's Martin's fault. Whatever the excuses, the manuscript is lost, and I am accountable for it. Emma, I may have lost my soul.

I never prayed harder than it did during that time, and Joseph prayed as well. But the Lord did not answer right away.

Joseph, take some water. No. This garden is not doing well, Emma. How are you? I let the Lord down.

You've done all you can do. And what if that's not enough? No amount of sorrow can make things right.

Only the Lord's love can do that.

If we let him.

And thou shalt be ordained under his hand to expound scriptures and to exhort the Church, according as it shall be given the by my spirit. The Lord has made know unto me that the sisters in the kingdom of God should organize themselves together as a society, and to lead this society, to preside over it, the Lord has chosen Emma Smith.

Sisters, we are going to do something extraordinary.

We expect pressing calls, grand occasions. Each members should be ambitious to do good. The Lord has said, when you're in the service of your fellow beings, your only in the service of your God.

We will bring relief to those who are in need.

And verily, I say unto thee that thou shalt lay aside the things of this world and seek for the things of a better. Emma? Shhh.

So it's the floor again?

They have no place else to sleep tonight. We're almost finished with their new house. Everything except the roof and a couple of walls.

Emma?

The Lord has commanded us to build a temple here.

How?

I only know that we are to do it.

And how long did it take you to put up two walls?

When you told me we were to build this temple, I marveled at your faith.

Now I marvel even more.

How can we leave it behind?

There will be other temples.

Will things be better in Missouri?

Keep my commandments continually, and a crown of righteousness thou shalt receive. And except thou do this, where I am you cannot come.

No one but God knows the feelings of my heart as we left our home and almost all of everything we possessed, and made our way out of this state. We crossed the river to Illinois, but my heart kept looking back.

There's something I wanted to read later to everyone, but I think you need to hear it now.

Emma, I'm sending this epistle to the Church through you, because I want you to read it first. All these things shall give thee experience and shall be for they good.

Were it not for Divine Mercy, Joseph, I should never have been able to endure the suffering I have passed through. Yet I am willing to suffer more if it is the Will of kind Heaven.
