Quote from my Great-Great-Great Grandmother

“I desire to do right and live my religion that I may enjoy the light to see as I am seen and know as I am known. O my Father, help me to live my religion, this is my greatest desire.”

Patty Sessions

From Elizabeth Willis, A Voice in the Wilderness: The Diaries of Patty Sessions (1998), 45

Patty Sessions was a midwife and delivered many babies between Nauvoo and the Salt Lake Valley. I am so grateful for my pioneer ancestors. Without their testimonies, I would not enjoy the eternal gift of membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
