Ralph Waldo Emerson: “That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the nature of the thing has changed but our ability to do it has increased.”

The first picture of Joseph Smith

Here is the first picture of Joseph Smith. They said he had just gotten out of jail after 8 months and was very thin. He is in his early 30’s….
