Coming up in this episode on Follow Him.

I think it's pretty remarkable, actually, that Moroni didn't dumb it down for 17-year-old Joseph.

I think it's a nod to his maturity, or at least to Moronai's view of Joseph to say, like, I think you can handle this kid.

Let me give you the nuggets that are going to be little seeds in your soul that over time

are going to germinate as the restoration unfolds. I think Joseph continues to have insights

about this evening for the rest of his life. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Follow

Him. My name is Hank Smith and I am your host. And I'm here with my co-host, John, by the way. And John, I would describe you as glorious, beyond description, a countenance truly like lightning. Honestly, John, I read that in Joseph Smith history. And I thought, that's John, by the way, right there. Actually, John, I thought of you when Joseph Smith said, I was guilty of levity.

I know someone just like that. So, John, you're in good company. John, you're guilty of

levity too. Thanks, Hank. I appreciate that. Hey, John, joining us today is a good friend, someone who's been with us many times before.

His name is Dr. Scott Woodward.

Scott, the lesson today is about Joseph Smith and Moroni.

We went through with Dr. Heward through the first vision.

We talked to Dr. Dirkmont last week about the Smith family. And now we come to this pivotal point in Joseph Smith's life. Tell me what you're looking forward to today.

Our study this week is about what we would call Joseph Smith's second vision. First vision is very famous. We know it by that name, but he literally called what we're talking about

today his second vision or a vision he had of an angel of God in his bedroom. The angel is going to

unload some really, really important things that basically frame the entire work of the restoration

to a 17-year-old kid. It's pretty remarkable. Oh, so fantastic. After having spent

now a full year studying the Book of Mormon, and now to come back to this point, there's a

sense of excitement. This is the beginning of something huge. We can appreciate the book that Marona is going to direct Joseph toward where he didn't

understand the significance of the book in the hill near his home, but maybe we do a little bit

have that advantage as we read this story.

Yeah.
