Prior to Margaret Lovina Wilson Bennett joining the Church she one day had an older man knock on her door and asked for food, drink, and if he could sleep on her floor. This she offered him. When he left, he promised Margaret that she would never want for food again. She had no idea who the man was until later when she joined the Church. When did she discover who this man was?

a.                  Her first sacrament meeting she attended in Nauvoo

b.                  Inside the Kirtland Temple

c.                   At her first Sunday school meeting in the Salt Lake Valley

d.                  After she read the Book of Mormon

Yesterday’s answer:

B   He had a honest face

From the life of Eliza R. Snow:   Joseph Smith came to the Snow home during the winter of 1830-31. As he sat by the fire warming himself, Eliza was able to watch him closely. She wrote in her history. “I scrutinized his face as closely as I could without attracting his attention and decided that his was an honest face. My adopted motto, ‘Prove all things and hold fast that which is good,’ prompted me to investigate, as incredulous as I was; and the most impressive testimonies I had ever heard were given by two of the witnesses to the Book of Mormon at the first meeting of the believers in Joseph Smith’s mission, which I attended.”
