Samuel Alexander Pagan Kelsey is my 5th great grandpa. ❤️What a sweet experience hearing his name on the podcast since our family members have very few stories about him and his family.❤️❤️
Samuel is my husband's 5th great grandfather too! We hear stories about other pioneer ancestors but not him so I felt the same way. I was excited to share with my husband and kids.
Sister Black, you are why I love Church History! Listening to you reminds me of my days at BYU and loving your classes! Such a treat to listen to you again!
Here I am, from Portugal, and I have been to Nauvoo three times. I joined in the dedication of the temple in 2002. I vividly remember President Hinckley’s speech about Joseph and Thomas Ford. I still get goosebumps when I think about it.I love Nauvoo, and I think I might have been there for one of sister Black’s performances at the theatre house. To this day, my desktop photo in my office computer is a photo I took of the Nauvoo temple in April 2006! I also realized I qualify for shares in the Nauvoo House. I do have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of Good. I love the podcast and all your insights and humor. Thank you! .
A great production and thank you for having Dr. Black explain the history of Nauvoo and the Temple. We brought our children to visit this sacred place with our Stake in Canada. We are grateful for this profound experience and your broadcast has deepen our appreciation of Joseph Smith and his mission. place.
I could listen to Susan E. Black all day! I remember going as a child to see the impression of where the temple was and feeling so sad and then the joy I felt returning for the temple open house! One of my ancestors is Jehu Cox who lived in Nauvoo with his family and when we visited it, I just wanted to move back to his plot of land! 😄 Maybe we’ll get a house of our own there one day. 🥰 Thank you so much for this podcast, I love it so much and learn so much too!
I totally understand the love of Nauvoo. There is a certain spirit their. My father was the assistant Supervisor on the construction on the visitors center when it was first built in 1970 and we learned a love for Nauvoo that is unexplainable. We cried when we learned we were going to be transferred. I got to study church history in seminary when we lived there. My dad bought a house for our family of 10, just three blocks east of where the temple block is on Knight Street. Love Nauvoo. I had a paper route when I lived there and rode my bike down Main Street every morning.
Thank you, Sister Black. I felt like I was 18 again sitting in one of your church history classes at the Y. Your voice is so unique and distinguishable! Now, I teach a similar age group in seminary each morning. Your lessons mean all the more.
A number of years ago we visited Nauvoo after the Temple had been dedicated. We enjoyed it tremendously with one exception. Both my wife and I noticed the same thing separately. The Red Brick store that was owned and managed by the Community of Christ. We knew what had been done there, yet we felt at the time we went through it the spirit was just not there. Everywhere else was wonderful, except that one place.
What a fantastic guest to have for this section. There is no one who can teach early Church History like Sister Black. I have always loved the D & C because of the history. By the way, Helen, who owns Annie’s Custard Shop is my sister. If you’re ever in Naboo, stop by for a delicious treat.
Oh my goodness! I had just said out loud, “ I have one relative that was a friend of Joseph Smith…George Washington Clyde” and like 20 seconds after that Hank says he was a couple relatives and quotes the same name! GW Clyde was my grandfather’s maternal grandfather….how are YOU related to him 😊
