Hyrum, Joseph and the Book of Mormon

After years of desiring – but never yet owning due to such a high price – and after discovering that Deseret Book no longer carried it, I found at last the statue of Hyrum and Joseph Smith, two better men the world may never know save Jesus only, is now mine.

 

Here it now holds a place of honor on my dresser (which has actually been cleaned off and rearranged to display this statue that means so much to me).  I found it on eBay of all places.  You can view it (and even purchase it) here.

Here is a video clip of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles bearing testimony of the Book of Mormon and these two magnificent testators.  It gives me such a thrill every time I watch/hear it.  I also own the DVDs of this conference, so I can watch it over and over.

These brothers gave their lives for this work.  I know it’s true.  I know the Book of Mormon is true.  That cannot be taken away from me.  Ever.
