The events of a wonderful day in 1829 changed everything, and D&C 13 captures that power in just one verse! 🙏🏻 And then add Oliver Cowdery’s testimony (one of the best scriptures no one reads_—and you get a beautifully poetic take on receiving the Aaronic Priesthood, baptism, and repentance. 😇 #T
The scriptures are full of “Best Supporting Actors” and in D&C 12 you get to meet a great one...an ever faithful, temperate, and devoted friend to Joseph Smith and this great work. 😀
