Daniel Peterson on the Martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith

Daniel C. Peterson has a very good, short essay entitled, "Today, 171 years ago" remembering the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in Carthage Jail. I did find the final paragraph to be nicely done:

I declare, today, my own conviction that God lives, that Jesus is the resurrected, atoning Savior of humankind, and that, in the nineteenth century, in a grove of trees not far from Palmyra, New York, they appeared to the young farm boy Joseph Smith, calling him as a prophet and commencing the restoration of the Gospel and the Church.

All I can say is "Amen" to the above. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
