Day in the Life

Jun 13, 1838

Journal Entry

June 13, 1838 ~ Wednesday

June 13th I spent the day at my fathers house I herd some most interesting letters read from Brother
Asahel H. Woodruff Directed to Fathers family, Eunice &c. O Asahel may the LORD never suffer thy talents
to be buried or spent upon the honours wealth glories, or vanities of this world, but may they yet be in lively
exercise in advocating the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ me thinks the spirit of Inspiration whispers
that this will be the case [FIGURES] We were visited with an uncommon thunder storm during this
this day the voice of thunder & the voice of lightning was vary great buildings & some of the beast of the field
were destroyed in its march. In the midst of the rain the heavens, air, & earth, was clothed with a bright yellow
hue which was above the brightness of the sun & it lasted for about half an hour
