On the 27th of June, we remembered once more the anniversary of the Prophet Joseph Smith's martyrdom. With this, we should remember all of the sacrifices he made for the Mormon Church, and how hard he worked to lay the foundation for the amazing worldwide church we have today.
Joseph Smith was excluded as a youth, brutalized as an adult, and martyred as he approached middle age because he would not deny his beliefs. Because he never backed down from doing God's will, we can receive the benefits of the Mormon Church, Mormon Temples, and a modern prophet.
