 [Lethe]
  DO YOU LIKE
  YOUR COOKIES?
 UH-HUH.
  DO YOU LIKE
  CHOCLATE CHIPS?
  WHAT'S YOUR
  FAVORITE COOKIE?
 CHOCLATE CHIP.
 DID YOU COME HERE
 JUST BECAUSE YOU
 WANTED A COOKIE?
 UH-HUH.
 UH-HUH.
 [Laughs]
 BLESS YOUR HEART.
 DID YOU CHILDREN
 KNOW THAT THIS
 HOUSE WAS OVER
 100 YEARS OLD?
 [Children]
WOW!
 WOW!
 WOW!
 WOULD YOU LIKE
 TO SEE IT?
YEAH!
 YES!
 YEAH!           UH HUH.
 [Lethe]
  COME ON, I'LL
  TAKE YOU IN
  THE OTHER ROOM.
THIS WAS MY FATHER
AND MOTHER'S BEDROOM.
DO YOU SEE THIS
PICTURE UP HERE?
THAT'S A PICTURE OF
MY GRANDMOTHER.
AND THE LITTLE BABY ON
HER LAP IS MY MOTHER.
NOW, IF MY MOTHER
WERE ALIVE TODAY,
SHE'D BE 110
YEARS OLD.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT
A PICTURE THAT'S 109
 YEARS OLD.
 NOW, THIS IS A PICTURE
 OF MY FATHER'S MOTHER.
SHE WAS BORN IN ENGLAND,
AND HER PEOPLE
WERE CONVERTED
TO THE CHURCH.
 AND DO YOU KNOW THAT SHE
 WALKED WITH HER SISTER
ACROSS THE PLAINS ALL
 THE WAY TO SALT LAKE.
 THIS IS A PICTURE
 OF THE PROPHET
 JOSEPH SMITH.
DID YOU KNOW
JOSEPH SMITH?
 HA, HA, NO.
 I'M OLD, BUT I'M
 NOT THAT OLD.
 IF YOU'LL COME IN
 THE OTHER ROOM,
 I'LL INTRODUCE
 YOU TO SOMEONE
 WHO DID KNOW
 THE PROPHET.
  MY GREAT GRANDFATHER,
  JEREMIAH RUBY.
  HE WAS BORN
  IN 1809
 AND LIVED TO BE
 95 YEARS OLD.
 HE WAS BORN IN VIRGINIA
  AND HE HELPED TO BUILD
  THE NAUVOO TEMPLE.
  HE WAS VERY DEVOTED
  TO THE CHURCH,
  AND KNEW AND LOVED THE
  PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH.
  AND OH HOW WE USED TO
  LOVE TO SIT BY HIM
 OR KNEEL DOWN LIKE
 YOU'RE KNEELING DOWN
 IN FRONT OF ME,
 AND LISTEN TO HIM TELL
 ABOUT HIS AQUAINTANCE,
 HIS WORK,
 HIS LIFE,
 HIS LOVE TO THE PROPHET
 JOSEPH SMITH.
 AND NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
 HE WOULD SIT AND TALK TO US
 ABOUT CROSSING THE PLAINS,
 AND ABOUT BEING BAPTIZED
 BY THE PROPHET.
  AND WE WERE
  SO THRILLED!
  WELL, MY BROTHER HENRY
 SAID ONE NIGHT,
 "PAPPY, WAS JOSEPH
  SMITH A MAN?"
 WHY WOULD HE ASK IF
 HE WERE A MAN?
  YOU KNOW, WHEN I
  WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
 WE USED TO TALK ABOUT ANGELS
 FLYING THROUGH THE SKY,
 AND ABOUT ELVES,
 AND DWARVES,
  AND UNCLE SAM,
  AND ALL OF THOSE CHARACTERS
 THAT WEREN'T REAL.
 THEY WEREN'T
 REAL PEOPLE.
 THEY WERE JUST
 STORIES MADE UP.
 AND SO HENRY
 REPEATED AGAIN,
 THINKING THAT MAYBE JOSEPH
 SMITH WASN'T A MAN.
 MAYBE THEY JUST
 MADE THAT UP.
 YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETIMES
 PEOPLE HAVE SAID,
 "DID THEY JUST MAKE
 IT UP ABOUT JESUS?"
  AND LITTLE HENRY LOOKED
  STRAIGHT AT PAPPY,
 AND SAID TO HIM AGAIN,
  "PAPPY, TELL ME, WAS
  JOSEPH SMITH A MAN?"
 AND PAPPY SAID,
 "WHY, YES! THE
 PROPHET JOSEPH
 SMITH WAS A MAN."
 "OH, PAPPY,
 "I MEAN, WAS HE A
 MAN LIKE YOU?"
 "YES, HENRY, HE WAS
 A MAN LIKE I AM."
 "PAPPY, HE WAS
 A REAL MAN?"
 "YES, HE WAS
 A REAL MAN."
 "OH!
 "PAPPY, COULD
 HE TALK?"
 [Laughing]
  "YES HE COULD
  TALK HENRY.
 "YOU KNOW, IF THE
 PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH
 WERE HERE TONIGHT,
 "HE WOULD BE TALKING
 WITH US
 "JUST AS WE'RE TALKING
 WITH EACH OTHER NOW."
 "OH!
 "WELL, PAPPY,
 COULD HE EAT?"
  "YES HE COULD
  EAT, HENRY."
  "WELL WHAT DID
  HE EAT?"
 "WHY, HE ATE JUST
 WHAT WE DO,
 "BREAD AND BUTTER,
 POTATOES, GRAVY,
 MEAT, FRUIT..."
 "OH, HE WAS A MAN
 AND COULD EAT FRUIT
 "AND POTATOES AND
 EVERYTHING LIKE THAT!"
 "WELL, PAPPY,
 "DID THE PROPHET JOSEPH
 SMITH HAVE A HORSE?"
  NOW THAT WAS
  VERY IMPORTANT
  IN THOSE DAYS
  BECAUSE THERE WERE NO
  AUTOMOBILES, NO TRAINS--
 YOU EITHER HAD A HORSE,
 OR YOU WALKED.
  AND LITTLE HENRY SAID,
 "PAPPY, DID YOU EVER
 SEE THE PROPHET
 ON A HORSE?"
 "YES, HENRY,
 "I SAW THE PROPHET
 ON A HORSE MANY,
 MANY TIMES.
 "I'VE STOOD
 BY THE HOSRE
 "THAT WAS HOLDING
 THE PROPHET.
  "AND THE PROPHET HELD
  MY HAND IN HIS,
  "AND SOMETIMES WE'D
  TALK FOR HOURS
  ABOUT THE CHURCH."
  AND THEN GUY,
 THE GENTLE, POETIC,
 LITTLE FELLOW SAID:
 "PAPPY, YOU SAID
"THAT THE PROPHET JOSEPH
SMITH HELD YOUR HAND.
 "HOLD MY HAND."
 AND THEN LITTLE GUY
 LOOKED DOWN AT HIS
 HAND AND SAID,
"OH! MY HAND'S
BEEN HELD
 "IN THE HAND
 THAT WAS HELD
 "BY THE PROPHET
 JOSEPH SMITH.
   "OH, PAPPY, HOLD
   ALL OUR HANDS."
 HE HELD MINE.
  NOW AMY, YOUR HAND
  HAS BEEN HELD
  IN THE HAND
  THAT WAS HELD
  IN THE HAND THAT
  HAD BEEN HELD
  BY THE PROPHET
  JOSEPH SMITH.
  YOUR HAND IS BEING
  HELD IN THE HAND,
  DARLING, THAT WAS HELD
  BY JOSEPH SMITH.
  JOHN-JOHN, YOUR HAND
  IS BEING HELD
 IN THE HAND THAT WAS HELD
 BY THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH.
 LETHIE, WHAT ABOUT
 WHEN JOSEPH SMITH
 SAW HEAVENLY FATHER
 AND JESUS.
 WERE THEY REAL
 MEN TOO?
 YES, THEY WERE
 REAL MEN.
 WE WERE CREATED
 IN THEIR IMAGE
 AND IN THEIR LIKENESS.
 JESUS IS THE
 SON OF GOD.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE
DIDN'T KNOW THAT
 AND THEY THOUGHT OF
 HIM AS JUST A MAN.
 BUT JESUS IS THE
 SON OF GOD.
  GOD AND JESUS
  ARE REAL MEN.
  IF WE KEEP OUR HANDS
  CLEAN AND PURE,
 WE MAY BE ABLE TO
 SEE GOD AND JESUS
 JUST AS THE PROPHET
  JOSEPH SMITH DID.
 OH, I LOVE YOU CHILDREN.
 I LOVE YOU.
