Joseph Smith often said in Nauvoo he didn’t care where he ended up as long as he was with the Saints, because there was love. “He often replied that we would all go to Hell together, and convert it into a heaven, by casting the Devil out.” I wonder if @archuletadavid.bsky.social knows that quote?

The price for a gallon of gas is $2.99 on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River, and a dozen Grade A eggs are $5.79. What’s the price where you are?
