Being a member of the church in 1830 must have been difficult. It was a brand new church. I think it must have felt like being a convert today.
In Doctrine and Covenants section 20, explains how the Church was organized. It is very similar to today. We use the same sacrament prayers and baptim prayer. The principles are the same. It is still the same God (verse 12).
"The more things change, the more they stay the same". I feel like this quote could be related here. My dad would always say this quote. I agree with him. A lot of time has gone by and things have changed like technology, fashion, etc. Even with all that change in the world, the gospel has not. It will remain the same.
It amazes me so much that the saints in 1830 had such strong testimonies and did not let anything break that.
They had so much faith.
