VIDEO: Mary and Martha, Disciples of Christ
The stories of Mary and Martha and their interactions with Jesus are powerful stories of faith and devotion. They fed him, served him, wept with him, and were loved by him. As we study their story, we learn that we too can sit at the feet of Jesus like Mary, and testify of Christ’s divinity like Martha. These two sisters stand as witnesses of the Messiah and can show us how like them, we can be loved by Jesus.

The restoration was MESSY (and that’s OK)
Matthew Watkins
Years ago, I heard a Bishop say: “Brothers and sisters, the restoration was messy.” I didn’t think much about his wording at the time. But over the few years following (including my mission), I encountered a lot of people wanting to “educate” me about early Church leaders. Joseph Smith was the most common target, of course. They cited all sorts of stories about him that seemingly “proved” he was a lying, womanizing con man.
I mostly brushed off these claims during my mission. Those critics were not historians. I knew their agenda. I figured they were mostly lies, or at least huge distortions of the history. So, when I got home from my mission, I bought an 800-page history of Joseph Smith. It was written by an active stake patriarch and Church historian who worked on the Joseph Smith Papers project, so I figured his book would blow away all those false accusations with the fiery testimony of truth.
But I was surprised to find that instead of tearing down all the stories the critics had told me, history largely confirmed them. And you know what? That’s OK!
