Joseph Smith as a Boy walking by a River

(new drawing)

Joseph Smith was a prophet, But he was a boy first. As a boy he had to undergo an operation for an infected bone in his leg. Later, when he was 14 there was a lot of excitement around his town converting religion. Joseph went to several meetings of different churches. Joseph wanted to know which church was the true church of Christ. While reading the Holy Bible Joseph came across James 1 verse 5 that tells the reader to ask God if they lack wisdom.

Jospeh did just that. He went out to a grove of trees near his father's farm to pray about which church at the time was true. He was told to join none of them and he was told he would be instrumental in helping restore the full Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was told this by Jesus Himself and in the vision, the Father or Father in Heaven introduced His son Jesus and told Joseph, "This is My Beloved Son, Hear Him."

I drew this new picture of Joseph Smith last week.  I drew it on his birthday of December 23rd.  But medical issues made it impossible to post that day so I waited until now.  This is a drawing of Joseph walking along a river.  Perhaps he is thinking of God and which is the true church of God.  I know that Joseph Smith was chosen to restore the complete true church of Jesus Christ.  We members of that church are not perfect and neither was Joseph Smith.  But the church continues on and the priesthood authority that was given to Joseph Smith was passed down and has saved my life through blessings many times via priesthood blessings.
