Summary

How do Lydia and Edward Partridge’s suffering, humility, and service apply to Latter-day Saints today? Dr. Alford returns for Part II and we discuss keeping a record of the Lord’s hand in our lives, what supporting our leaders may look like (or not), as well as the parable of the Last Days. Dr. Alford’s lifelong service in the US Army helps us relate to wars, rumors of wars, in the 1830s and today.

0:41.8	Christmas Day in the 19th century are two very different kinds of things.
0:47.0	We have really commercialized Christmas and it's a really huge deal and it's the biggest
0:54.0	shopping time of the year and that's not the case in the 19th century.

1:15.3	So it's not that unusual that Joseph, it's not like Joseph is shunning his family and
1:19.8	going into a room seeking, seeking revelation away from his family on Christmas.
1:24.5	We're going to have a Joseph Smith Christmas this year, everybody's going to get a piece
