| SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Mosiah 1:4 |
|
For it were not possible that our father, Lehi, could have remembered all these things, to have taught them to his children, except it were for the help of these plates; for he having been taught in the language of the Egyptians therefore he could read these engravings, and teach them to his children, that thereby they could teach them to their children, and so fulfilling the commandments of God, even down to this present time.

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph Fielding Smith |
|
“Help your children in every way you can to grow up with a knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Teach them to pray. Teach them to observe the Word of Wisdom, to walk faithfully and humbly before the Lord so that when they grow up to manhood and womanhood they can thank you for what you have done for them and look back over their lives with grateful hearts and with love for their parents for the manner in which those parents cared for them and trained them in the gospel of Jesus Christ” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, p, 209).

During the previous few days, Emma had stated the Joseph had come to her in a vision and had shown her a "mansion of light" where she had seen and held her little baby, Don Carlos, who died in 1841. Joseph promised her that in time she would have all her children. At her death she was surrounded by three of her children---Joseph III, Alexander, and Julia---and her second husband, Lewis Bidamon. Her last moments were peaceful until she raised her self up in her bed, reached out with her left hand and said, "Joseph, Joseph," and then she died. She is buried next to her husband in the Smith Family Cemetery along the river in Nauvoo, Illinois.
