Emma

In this moving and insightful talk, Mary Jane Woodger takes a look at the life of Emma Hale Smith. Sister Woodger says, "Over the years I have learned some great lessons from Emma, especially as I have reflected on her sacrifice and undying devotion to her husband." In a fascinating look at Church history, Sister Woodger uses each of Emma's pregnancies as a window to describe what was happening in the lives of Emma and Joseph at that time. She points out, for example, that Emma and Joseph's first son was born the day after Martin Harris left with the 116 pages. That child lived only three hours. Emma was so sick for the two ensuing weeks that she hovered between life and death. Also includes the bonus talk, Becoming an Elect Lady. Approx. 80 minutes on 1 CD.
