Lucy Finds the Truth

One day, 15-year-old Lucy Morley was helping her neighbor, Abigail Daniels, weave cloth. As they worked, three missionaries knocked at the door. They said that Jesus Christ had sent them to share a message.

The men told Abigail and Lucy that Jesus had called Joseph Smith to be a prophet. They also told them about the Book of Mormon.

To Lucy’s surprise, Abigail became angry. She made the missionaries leave.

Lucy knew the missionaries were servants of God. She told them to visit her family down the road.

The missionaries went to the Morley home. Lucy’s parents invited the missionaries to teach them and their friends.

That night, 17 people were baptized. In the next few days, 50 more people heard the missionaries and were baptized. Even Lucy’s neighbor Abigail changed her mind. She and her husband, along with Lucy and members of her family, chose to follow Jesus Christ by being baptized.
