Day Five

Salem Witch Trials

Brook (my roommate) and I have a problem, Both of us had early morning seminary in high school, So we think we are really good at getting ready in the morning really fast. HA! Which means that we can sleep in as long as possible.. BAD IDEA! Evey single morning we have barely made it in time for the bus. This morning... same thing, although we are making memories and improving :)

Today we studied the Salem Witch Trials, we went to the museum and talked about why and how something like that could happen. The question was how could good people do bad things? When you look for the bad in a situation, you will find it. That statement can go both ways, when you look for the good, you will find it as well. In D&C 111 it tells us how Joseph Smith went to Salem to search for treasure. Originally Joseph thought this meant Gold or silver, because finding such things was big at the time. Joseph didnt find the kind of treasure he was looking for, the treasure that he found was the people living there. These people were the descendants from the Salem witch trials, who were likely struggling with knowing their ancestors were a part of the Salem witch trials. Joseph found these people and they were taught about the miracle of the atonement. There is the good!!
