Summary

In this episode, we answer an litner’s question about a story they heard about Joseph Smith raising someone from the dead in Nauvoo. Many may not be aware of this, but apparently the flood plains of the Mississippi River may have an above average number of mosquitos and there is a breakout of malaria that leaves many Saints nigh unto death. Gerrit shares several miraculous experiences performed in Nauvoo in and around this malaria breakout. Gerrit also shares a story told by Levi Curtis about William Huntington being raised from the dead. What would you say if you had just been raised from the dead? Well, William Huntington said “I never felt better in my life…I want my pants.” Standard of Truth Tour dates for the summer of 2025: ⁠https://standardoftruth.com/tours/⁠ Missouri/Nauvoo – June 22nd through June 28th (10 spot remaining) Sign up for our free monthly (that doesn’t go out monthly) email: ⁠ ⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠[email protected]

1:23.8	hundreds of emails a month and, and, sometimes as many as 100 emails a week
1:30.1	from listeners.
1:32.5	We receive, I think, 99% of them from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania missionaries.
