How do Lydia and Edward Partridge’s suffering, humility, and service apply to Latter-day Saints today? Dr. Alford returns for Part II and we discuss keeping a record of the Lord’s hand in our lives, what supporting our leaders may look like (or not), as well as the parable of the Last Days. Dr. Alford’s lifelong service in the US Army helps us relate to wars, rumors of wars, in the 1830s and today.
