Where Ya Comin' From?

:0 SWEET MEMORY MONDAY ON TUESDAY

Have you guys seen this "new" discovery of the ONLY photo ever taken of the Prophet Joseph Smith

The Reorganized Church only recently uncovered it in their archives and asked our church to help authenticate it.


The church has stated that it is "Almost certainly authentic". All existing"photos" of the prophet are artist conceptions, most of which were taken from models made from the death mask after Joseph had died.

This photo is reportedly taken of him at the time of his incarceration in the Liberty Jail. The article in Meridian says the church has actually had the photo for a couple of years working on its authentication...

Whether it is him or not.....I love this man!

Oh and I am finally getting my California Trip that I canceled in June....... Leaving on


Sunday Whoooo Hoooo

How did you learn about this? My sister's father-in-law is a religion teacher at BYU-I and he knew about it, but didn't provide much new info. It's pretty cool. I'm just curious to learn more. :)
