"Joseph Smith could neither write nor dictate a coherent and well- worded letter; let alone dictating a book like the Book of Mormon." - Emma Smith, Joseph Smith's Wife and Scribe, 1879 | wasmormon.org “Unfortunately, neither righteousness, taking the name of Jesus upon her by baptism, nor her great faith in the Lord qualified Jane to enter the holy temple for herself. In May 1894, while Jane was still alive..., Jane was sealed to Joseph & Emma Smith. NOT as one of their children as they had offered and Jane requested. Not as one of Joseph’s wives. But as their eternal servant... An eternal servant. A slave. A relationship that in the eternal law of God doesn’t exist and that is even today a spit in the face to all black women.” - Alice Faulkner Burch, President of the Relief Society in the Genesis Group, Mormon Women's History Initiative Annual Breakfast 2016 | wasmormon.org Joseph’s wife Emma explained that she “frequently wrote day after day” at a small table in their house in Harmony, Pennsylvania. She described Joseph “sitting with his face buried in his hat, with the stone in it, and dictating hour after hour with nothing between us.” According to Emma, the plates “often lay on the table without any attempt at concealment, wrapped in a small linen table cloth.” When asked if Joseph had dictated from the Bible or from a manuscript he had prepared earlier, Emma flatly denied those possibilities: “He had neither manuscript nor book to read from.” - Book of Mormon Translation, Gospel Topic Essay The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013 | wasmormon.org That moment in the barn is one she’ll never forget. - Gospel Living Article on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Website. Not to be confused with that moment in the barn both Fanny Alger and Emma Smith will never forget. wasmomron.org That moment in the barn is one she’ll never forget. - Gospel Living Article on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Website. Not to be confused with that moment in the barn both Fanny Alger and Emma Smith will never forget. wasmomron.org "I frequently wrote for day after day, often he sitting at the table close by him, he sitting with his face buried in his hat, with the stone in it and dictating hour after hour, with nothing between us. He had neither manuscript nor book to read from. If he had had anything of the kind he could not have concealed it from me. The plates often lay on the table without any attempt at concealment, wrapped in a small linen cloth, which I had given him to fold them in." - Emma Smith, 1st Wife and 1st Scribe to Joseph Smith | wasmormon.org I was born into the church, married in the temple, and remained active for 37 years. I had six kids that I homeschooled, I attended the temple monthly, faithfully paid tithing and gave generous fast offerings, served in many callings, and loved studying the gospel just for fun. I'm a direct descendant of Emma Smith. I love Crossfit, dancing, and all things outdoors. I was a mormon.
