Episode Description
In the St. George Temple, President Wilford Woodruff had an unforgettable spiritual experience: the Founding Fathers of the United States, including the signers of the Declaration of Independence, appeared to him and asked him to perform their temple ordinances. For two days and two nights, these "choice spirits" conversed with him, leaving Wilford with a profound conviction — men who never had the chance to accept the restored gospel in mortality had embraced it in the spirit world.

✨ What Wilford Woodruff taught about this remarkable visitation
✨ Why he believed the Founding Fathers were inspired by God to establish this nation
✨ What this experience reveals about temple work and the spirit world
