Thank you, Bro. Pettit. It’s so important that we know these things and can put ourselves in the shoes of Joseph and Emma-and Moroni!-and others at that time. I love you for this work of service you are doing. And I always have this thought: we can’t know the incalculable good we may be doing in our service to others until we get to the other side and all things are known.
Your storytelling helps me prepare to teach CFM lessons on zoom. These stories bring the scriptures and lessons to life for me. Thanks for your efforts...they have incalculable value.
This video was our families FHE tonight... our 3 year old is infatuated with The Gospel of Jesus Christ. She really loves listening to each of your videos... pretty cool in my book!!
I’ve had a pretty tough couple of days and not feeling the spirit. I was watching your video and when you said that people said that the feeling in the grove was like the feeling in the temple I was overwhelmed with the spirit. I don’t know the reason I felt it so strong but I’m sure I will find out soon
I've always found it interesting to study the logical fallacies of those who reject. Either Joseph has plates or he does not. If he does not, why are you trying to steal them from him? If he does, maybe you should pay attention. The same thing can be said about the characters.
I have shared a room with some girls and boys in an Attic Fixed up really beautiful with Staind glass -fake so not to break And it had little section off so the boys had a good room, and the younger girls had their room, and I had the one closest to the Open to the door to the stairs We fixed up the house up because the Landlord wouldn't and the Judge said we had to use the same amount of money as rent on the house and make it really beautiful and safe for children and save all repairs and reciepts Enjoy the work and making it beautiful ❤️
Just a minor clarification. You say the "caractors" document was the one that Martin Harris took to Charles Anthon. Recent scholarship strongly suggests that this was the penmanship of John Whitmer, which is where this manuscript came from. (Source: MacKay, Michael Hubbard, Gerrit J. Dirkmaat, and Robin Scott Jensen. 2013. “The ‘Caractors’ Document: New Light on an Early Transcription of the Book of Mormon Characters.” Mormon Historical Studies 14 (1): 131-152.) However, it does seem that it may have been very similar to the original copy from the plates (which may have been a rubbing), and so what Anthon reviewed might have been the same portion that we have here. By the way, there is an individual, Jerry Grover, who has translated the caractors document. You can read how he arrived at it at his website, bmslr.org. But here is what he has translated it as. There are two parts because he says it comes from two different portions of the plates (he rendered it in modern English, rather than attempting the style of the Book of Mormon): "In the nineteenth regnal year of Mosiah I, the Nephites exited over the mountains to the foreign speaking people of Mulek. These twenty thousand “children of Mosiah1” traveled over the mountains for eleven days and then downriver on the east side of the River Sidon [Grijalva River] for eighty days reaching Zarahemla. And then it came to pass that after eleven years thus began the Period of the Seven Tribes. After the space of twenty-one more years had passed, Zeniff, with sixty of his people, departed. Fifty-three more years then passed; then the Limhites departed and obtained the Twenty-Four plates from the West in the Land of Desolation, returning upriver on the River of Lamanite Possessions [Usumacinta]. Seven years from the date of the departure to obtain the Jaredite plates, the Limhites traveled west, bringing the pure gold Jaredite plates to Mosiah2, which he translated. Previous to the arrival of the Limhites, Benjamin was made king in the second month of the four hundred and thirty-sixth year after Lehi left Jerusalem. At the age of eighty-three, king Benjamin ascended to eternity, which was four hundred seventy-nine years after Lehi left Jerusalem. King Benjamin’s death occurred one and one third years before the arrival of the Limhites. Four years before the arrival of the Limhites, the Period of the Seven Tribes ended in conjunction with the Jubilee Year." And "--Sixty and one half months [prior to the coming of Christ--Samuel the Lamanite came to the Nephites and the Lamanites prophesying of darkness--The Nephite primary count calendar was shifted from the 1,000 Year Calendar to the Coming of Christ Calendar, effective retroactively nine years after the Coming of Christ Calendar started--The 600 year Lehi Departure Calendar period ended; in the ninety-second year of the Reign of the Judges, the First and Most High King, Christ the Son, came to the Land of Jerusalem; while he was born occurred two days of brightness--The Gaddianton tribe arose; Nephi2 departed--Siege of the Gaddianton robbers, praise voiced to God; a Jubilee Year takes place, which completes the Twelfth Jubilee Period of the 1,000 Year Calendar--On the first month of the one hundred and twenty-fifth year of the Reign of the Judges Calendar, Christ came at the time of darkness to the people--After remaining fifty weeks, in the twelfth month of the thirty-fourth year of the Coming of Christ (the Most High) Calendar, Christ ascends upward to heaven; the Reign of the Judges Calendar period ends; thus commences a period of truth and prosperity --Nephites seek after riches; the rise of the Fourth Generation is complete ¾ Nephites retreated downriver on the River Bountiful [Coatzacoalcos] to the north countries; Three Disciples departed--Innumerable multitudes of Lamanites came--The Nephites and the Lamanites are without Christ and God the Father, now choosing to be led by Satan--Moroni and Mormon are in the hands of Christ-- three hundred eighty-four years.
I was coming to say that there was a problem with the audio this week. There’s are great firesides even with technical difficulties. We had some challenges ourselves on Sunday.
Edwin Alan Pettit is my grandpa's brother. So he is my great-uncle. You must be from the Bakersfield area. He must have been quite a good man, because I am surprised at how many people tell me that he gave them their patriarchal blessing. Thanks for reaching out!
14:43 I thought, that thoughts could be put into are minds by the devil. That we are only judged on our thoughts if we entertain them or act upon them.
Doesn't D.C. 65 explain why The Lord's Prayer in the Bible has one more phrase in it than the Book of Mormon. "Thy kingdom come in the Bible in not in the Lord's Prayer in 3 Nephi Chapter 13 verses 9 through 13. Doesn't D.C. 65 kind of clarity that ? When The Lord was reserected, indeed ,The Kingdom had come in His glory personally. Any comments ? Thanks.
Your great contribution of doing the wonderful work is very appreciated, thank you, Bro. Pettit🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love church history. We really enjoy your presentations. This should be another really fun year to study.

I am very glad that the message of the First Vision has helped strengthen you!
Appreciate the finer historical details . It makes for better n broader background understanding 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
The more I study about Joseph Smith the stronger my testimony of the Book of Mormon is strengthen.
DO @
Old expressions make me smile. "They bought the farm" "they kicked the bucket". I do love your presentation.
Thank you!

Thank you this really helped me understand everything so much better 🌸🌸
Glad it helped!

He sure does!
Thanks so much for these. I loved your example of the first ever getting permission from your spouse before extending a calling in our dispensation 😁
Pretty cool, huh?
Thanks!!!
Thank you for this. Salamat😊
I didn’t know Emma was with Joseph when he obtained the plates. Really cool!
Amazing
Beautiful home ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have shared a room with some girls and boys in an Attic
Fixed up really beautiful with Staind glass -fake so not to break
And it had little section off so the boys had a good room, and the younger girls had their room, and I had the one closest to the Open to the door to the stairs
We fixed up the house up because the Landlord wouldn't and the Judge said we had to use the same amount of money as rent on the house and make it really beautiful and safe for children and save all repairs and reciepts

Thank you very much. I have appreciated your comment about qualification to accomplish our callings.

These are so good! I wish they were in podcast form! Please...
Good suggestion. I'll see what I can do.
A++++ I understand much better now
Thank you!
Excellent content,enjoy watching. Ps. Maybe invest in a better audio setup, only left channel working this week 🧐
I was coming to say that there was a problem with the audio this week.
There’s are great firesides even with technical difficulties. We had some challenges ourselves on Sunday.
You need to set your audio channel to stereo mono. It’s only playing in my left ear.
Thanks for the tip. I will see if I can figure that out.
Hi Brother Pettit, are you related to Edwin Alan Pettit? If so he gave me my Patriarchal blessing.

Fifty pounds of Gold. In today's value, that is 1.427 Million Dollars. The true value, priceless.
Sadly, I cannot hear this,.. no volume.
How did the mob find out that Joseph had gold plates? You skipped that part
14:43 I thought, that thoughts could be put into are minds by the devil. That we are only judged on our thoughts if we entertain them or act upon them.
