Seminary

Today I was in my seminary class and we watched a movie on a man named, Brother Tanner. I had seen it previously but I noticed something new this time. Brother Tanner was alive during Joseph Smith's time. He was a very wealthy man and he helped save the church financially over and over. It is estimated that he donated over 50,000 dollars to the church. He eventually gave up literally everything he had. On their way to Missouri he and his 9 children were begging for bread.

The amazing part about this whole story is his dear wife. She never complained or asked why. She simply followed her husband in whatever he felt he should do. At one point in the movie, right after they've been baptized, she comes down stairs in the middle of the night to find her husband sitting in his office. She asks him whats wrong and he says he had a dream and they are needed in Kirkland. She replies "When should we go?" How POWERFUL! She didn't even need to think twice about it or ask why. She just had faith in the Lord and faith in her husband. As women we shouldn't ever doubt priesthood leaders. It is great that we can learn of so many women who are great examples.
