Alfred04654 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 You might wonder about the title"The Day I Meet Joseph Smith" Well, it happened on this wise... I moved to Bangor, Me...I was all alone in a city that I knew not... Those first years were hard... I had worked on a farm but that feel apart... I went to the Bangor Area Homeless shelter for 6months... Then i went to a group home and I was there for over a year... It was at this time I was able to get my retirement and Socical Security. Then with the help of Section 8 ,I was able to get my own apartment... I might someone through the group home who was Mormon..He gave me the video"The Resturation... I think well that nice for you... I watched the DVD several times...I never dreamed of even looking into The Church... One day, I was walking down toward the YMCA and I ran into 2 Elders... They said What do you know about The Chrurch... Well, all I knew was the DVD... I retold them the story... Well, Elder Jenson told me he knew the actor that was in that DVD... HE said he would be glad to bring him if I took a lesson... They came; the lesson was good.My heart was warmed... But where was this promised actor...so I asked and Elder Harding said ,"It is me" Elder Harding was on a mission and I did not (at First0 See the young Joseph Smith... Elder Harding was the best-He had a way of reaching my heart and that helped me to believe... I never saw Elder Jenson after the ist. lesson... Then Elder Jackson came... Later Elder Harding went on to a new area... I was baptized by Elder Allen and Elder Jackson... I felt bad that Elder Harding was not there for my baptizeum... So now you know my tale... Quote
