Summary
This episode is about Joseph Smith, his interactions with the Angel Moroni, and his first trip to get the plates. It also talks about Doctrine and Covenants Section 2 - and the sealing power that the prophet Elijah returned to the earth.
These are such miraculous stories, and maybe because we’ve heard them so often, we no longer marvel at just how amazing the restoration actually was! It answered so many questions and filled in so many holes. We are so lucky to know about it.
Here are the talks I mentioned:

| 0:00.0 | This is Come Follow Me for us, a weekly podcast where we feast on the words of Christ and have fun doing it. |
| 0:07.9 | I'm your host, Melanie Straub. |
| 0:10.8 | Okay, those who are new here may not have realized that the podcast that I'm putting out are actually the podcast I recorded in 2021. |
| 0:19.9 | I've gone through them. I've edited them. I've taken out |
| 0:22.9 | things that aren't relevant, but I haven't added any new content. And let me tell you why. |
| 0:30.7 | Because I didn't want to. And here's the thing. I had kind of decided I wasn't going to do the podcast |
| 0:36.8 | anymore because I didn't |
| 0:39.5 | have any new things to say. Anytime when I'd go through the lesson and try to do a new one, |
| 0:45.6 | I would listen to the old ones and they were good and what I said was still relevant and the |
| 0:50.3 | manuals are almost exactly the same. And my love for doing the podcast had kind of gone away. |
| 0:59.8 | And I had kind of a special experience. |
| 1:02.2 | And through that experience, I felt like I wasn't done sharing my testimony with the world. |
| 1:07.9 | And so as I've studied and prayed and tried to figure things out, I will let you know |
| 1:12.3 | this. I'm starting a new podcast about joy and finding joy in our everyday life through |
| 1:20.6 | living the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because if you're not finding joy, if you're not happy, |
| 1:25.8 | then somehow we need to rectify that, right? We need to |
| 1:30.0 | find joy. So the day I decided that I was going to start the new podcast, a stake in Gilbert |
| 1:36.6 | called me and asked if I could come speak at their women's conference in February on joy. |
| 1:44.1 | So I think Heavenly Father was just putting the cap on it. Yep, |
| 1:46.9 | this is what I want you to do. So here's how this is going to go down. Every week, this podcast |
| 1:53.4 | will be here. It is still so relevant. I listen to it and go, oh my gosh, I didn't even know that, right? |
| 2:00.6 | And I'm the one who said it. So listen to it and go, oh my gosh, I didn't even know that, right? And I'm the one who said |
