I'm Hannah Taylor, and I'm the research coordinator for the Wilford Woodruff Project. Reading his journals has helped me to know who he is as a person, know what he’s passionate about, what he really cares about. He did have incredible insights into the ways that the gospel of Jesus Christ can help us. Wilford Woodruff is constantly putting in snippets of his testimony throughout his journal. It makes him come alive. When we know the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When we know that history we can learn from it, we can feel connected to those people. As you think about those things that are difficult, as you think about your daily struggles, your family struggles, your faith struggles, you can receive divine help in understanding those things. So I’m grateful for the things that Wilford Woodruff did in his lifetime. As you read his insights, as you get to know him, you can learn from his experiences and your faith can then be strengthened.
