The Story of Samuel Smith
- Written by Author Unknown
Consider the story of Samuel Smith:
Samuel was the younger brother of Joseph Smith. Imagine how he must have felt when Joseph came home from the grove and told his family that none of the churches were right.

Then one morning Joseph tells you that The Angel Moroni came and spent the night talking with him and told him of a book of gold plates.
