Joseph Smith: December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844 John Taylor: Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient times, has sealed his mission and his works with his own blood; and so has his brother Hyrum. Thomas S. Monson: Following the visits of the angel Moroni and the delivering into the hands of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the golden plates, he commenced the difficult assignment of translation, which would absorb his every waking moment, his every thought, his every action night and day, perhaps every hour. One can but imagine the dedication, the devotion, and the labor required to translate in less than ninety days this record of over five hundred pages, which covered a period of twenty-six hundred years. There is not an absurd, impossible, or contradictory statement in the entire book. Joseph worked, Joseph studied, Joseph applied himself to his task. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught us diligence—by example. I testify that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God and that God our Father governs the affairs of his Church through a living Prophet of God today,this I give freely of my self in the name of Jesus Christ amen!
