My conversation has continued with my friend who I will call Jim. Jim asked, “How do you reconcile the contradictions of the Book of Mormon to the Bible? There should be no disparity in the Word of God. One Word, one God.” Jim, There are also many contradictions within the Bible itself. Here are someContinue reading “Contradictions in the Bible and Book of Mormon”

The Bringhurst family and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Here is a video we put together to share why the Gospel of Jesus Christ is important to our family. We live in Port Angeles, Washington. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were asked by the missionaries here in Port Angeles, Elder Kartchner and Elder Smith, to shareContinue reading “The Bringhurst family and the Gospel of Jesus Christ”
Joseph Smith’s First Vision
This video took way longer than it should have. Back in the October 2014 General Conference, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, invited everyone to consider recording Joseph Smith’s account of the First Vision in our own words. I tried doing an audio recording of everyone reading it during aContinue reading “Joseph Smith’s First Vision”
Testimony of the Book of Mormon – Joan
Recently I came across some testimonies of the Book of Mormon that had been given to me when I was a missionary serving in France. These testimonies were from some of my family members. I had taken them, translated them into French, hand-wrote them in the front of a copy of the Book of MormonContinue reading “Testimony of the Book of Mormon – Joan”
Signs and wonders
I recently read 3 Nephi 1, in the Book of Mormon. This took place right before Jesus Christ was born. It talks about how many of the people did not believe that Christ would come as the prophets had said. Many said that nobody could know for sure that He would come. There were someContinue reading “Signs and wonders”
Jacob Gates and Oliver Cowdery
My great-great-great grandfather Jacob Gates knew Oliver Cowdery and the Prophet Joseph Smith personally. He saw Joseph Smith on his horse heading to Carthage, IL before the martyrdom. Here is a cool story about him talking to Oliver before his death. “Testimony of Jacob Gates. My father, Jacob Gates, while on his way to England,Continue reading “Jacob Gates and Oliver Cowdery”
Trampolines in the Highlands
When we moved to Highland, Utah we were excited to have a big yard. We had three daughters; Julienne was 6, Maggie had just turned 5, and Emma was almost 2. Part of the appeal of the house was a big playground in the back yard and room for a trampoline. We bought a trampolineContinue reading “Trampolines in the Highlands”
Hot Wheels
I’ve always loved cars. When I was young I had an impressive Matchbox / Hot Wheels car collection. I liked the Mustangs, Camaros, Cougars, Impalas, Chevelles, Chargers, Challengers, and Bel Airs. I really took good care of them. My family would laugh because at a pretty young age I could tell what the make andContinue reading “Hot Wheels”
Grandmother’s influence
January 1, 1918 is a special day for me. That is the day my grandmother was born. She told me that her mother had said that they could still hear fireworks going off and people celebrating the coming of the New Year when she was born. She played a very important role in myContinue reading “Grandmother’s influence”
Cleave unto charity
While reading 1 Corinthians chapter 13, I was pondering how this scripture seemed to directly apply to those who have doubts about Joseph Smith, the prophets & apostles, the Church, the Book of Mormon, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Charity is not just about giving to the poor, it is also defined as: lenientContinue reading “Cleave unto charity”
