Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration

Today I was very privileged to see the new movie "Joseph Smith The Prophet of the Restoration" (see: http://www.lds.org/events/info/0,8197,726-1-571,00.html) I saw it at the Hamilton New Zealand Temple Visitors Centre in Temple View.

It's great that at last a movie has been made by the church covering the whole life of Joseph Smith. It was a real eye opener as to what life was really like for Joseph Smith and the Saints in those early days of the church. I have to say that you do get a bit emotional while watching the movie. Joseph Smith lived an absolutely incredible life. I am so happy that the people of that day followed him despite all the trials they went through. And because of Joseph Smith and the other Saints this has led to what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is today - a worldwide church of over 12 million members and one of the fastest growing church on the world.

So if you're in Hamilton I strongly suggest you go to the Visitors Centre in Temple View and view the movie - you'll be glad you did!
