A history of the prophet David’s mother learning of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This account is based on a talk given at a baptism by the First Elder’s mother, as recorded in his journal, and recollections of stories relayed to him by his mother. Summer of 1978.
These are my experience and the experience of others I’ve worked with. As one gains control of their energy, they will find a similar experience, albeit uniquely to you. If one needs an aid, they can use a seer stone, as Joseph did, or a divining rod like Oliver. One may also use hand signs to control how the energy moves and what it does.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” -1 Corinthians 3:16 The “magical world” is an abstract idea used by fantasy and religions alike.

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” – Jesus Christ (Matthew 18: 20)
“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” -Psalms 55:17 A prayer is a plea to God. The True Prayer is written in our hearts. When our hearts are pierced, we plea to God and he restores us. From here we may speak to God in the name of Christ. If you are new to prayer, that’s okay. Everyone has to have their first prayer vocal prayer, and Jesus taught…
