Question
Dear Gramps,
I am always arguing with my mother on The Book of Mormon and other Mormon-related issues. She is a nonmember who tries to prove that Joseph Smith is a fraud and that the whole Mormon Church is a fraud. I love her arguing because it makes my testimony stronger every day. My question is that last night I had a dream that we were arguing about Joseph Smith and she told me he was in it for the money and that is the only reason he conned every one. I told her that he wasn’t in it for the money. I said “He was born a poor man and he died a poor man.” After waking up this morning I could not believe how real this was. But I keep questioning my dream. Did he die a poor man? I am not sure if he did. But if he did then I will be calling my mother to let her know.
Jesse
