On this day in 1793, John Portineus Greene (also known as John P. Greene) was born in Herkimer County, New York. He grew up and became a Methodist Minister. He bought a Book of Mormon from a missionary on his first mission, Samuel Harrison Smith (the younger brother of the prophet, Joseph Smith). He joined the church in April 1832. John P. Greene was married to Rhoda Young, sister of Brigham Young. The Book of Mormon that Samuel left was responsible for the conversion of John, his wife, his wife's family (including Brigham), and Heber C. Kimball.

The Hill Cumorah by C.C.A Christensen

Wisdom of Youth

Seminary recognition night was tonight.  Words from a wise graduate... She said that we should not sleep in or go out to lunch and miss seminary. Because we miss hours of instruction by the spirit, the spirit is ready and there to teach us and we choose to opt put.

I pretty much sat there and pondered and this came to my mind:
"Don't opt out going to the temple.Don't put off studying the scriptures.Don't forget to pray.
Don't opt out of going to church. I could miss hours of instructions the Spirit is ready to teach me, valuable instruction I need for my journey!
