Yesterday’s answer:
B. Willard Richards
From the life of Willard Richards: As a young man in Massachusetts, Willard had
been impressed that the true gospel of Christ would soon be restored to the
earth. While practicing medicine near Boston in 1835, he opened a copy of the
Book of Mormon and, after reading the profound doctrine of man’s purpose on the
earth found in 2 Ne. 2:25-26, he declared that “either God or the Devil had had
a hand in that book,” and he determined to find out which. He eagerly read the
book twice in the next ten days and concluded, “God has something greater for
me to do than peddle pills.” Traveling to Kirtland, he was baptized by his
cousin Brigham Young and was sent on a mission to the East. Just one day after
his return from his first mission, Willard started on a second, this one to
England with six other elders, to introduce the gospel in that land.
