One of the members smiled and said that sounds like a Mormon myth. The regular Gospel Principles teacher said it didn’t sound like it was official Church scripture or something.

Did Joseph Smith really say that? Can you find the quote online?

Thanks!

Oh, also became a Ward Missionary today and my Bishop and Stake President set me apart! I tell you - the words my Bishop speaks are so powerful. I've been asking myself - when I get the Melchizedek Priesthood, how will I ever give powerful blessings like my two Bishops give? They are so full of powerful words it amazes me.
