This Used To Count As Home Teaching

I am going to make a bold statement. Ahem. Everyone has a 3 Nephite story. I’m going to take back that statement and replace it with this one – a whole bunch of multi-generation LDS families have a 3 Nephite story hanging from one of the branches in the family tree. My grandmother had a story. She thought one mysteriously stepped in to help when her husband was out of town and she was perusing orphanages with open enrollment for her six kids. All the orphanages were full, FYI. At least that’s what they claimed after the third day of the trial run. Really though, there are loads of 3 Nephite stories. Loads of them!  Just like seer stone stories , angel visitation stories or LDS raising the dead stories – there are 3 Nephite stories a-plenty! Below find just a few.

Said chewing gum was stuffed full of several pulp-rich teeth, because scurvy. This pulp was delicately extracted, squirted into a small test tube and sent to one of those DNA places that have lots of lawyers and threats of restraining orders. An at-home DNA test, on the other hand, conclusively proved that the ancient seafarer was not the father of any of our more docile cats. Proof of God, LDS Church, the Book of Mormon or of anything religious at all really doesn’t work like that. It’s a far more personal matter. Sure you have something broad and sweeping like Nahom , which, you know, feels pretty good. You’ve also got stories of angels showing up at Joseph Smith’s request  and the absolutely unbreakable BOM witnesses . But
