Joe loves Fanny
Joseph recoiled in fear when the angel appeared. He had previously encountered angels, including the one who had revealed the location of the gold plates that he had translated. This angel was different. He was built at least twice as thick as the angel Moroni and he was over a foot taller. The cherubim carried a broadsword that glowed white with flames dripping like burning tar.
"I am a messenger from Elohim," said the angel with a piercing voice that projected deep into Joseph's mind and heart. He held out his hand giving the secret handshake Joseph had learned from his first encounter with divine beings. Joseph grasped the angel's hand, receiving the first token of the Aaronic Priesthood. Joseph then knew that he could trust the angel and that whatever command he received, the Lord would enable him to follow.
The angel continued his message "Joseph, Elohim commands you to take on the sacred eternal covenant of plurality of wives. You are to take as a plural wife, the 18 year old servant Fanny Alger. You must live this law as it is revealed to you or you will be destroyed. God's work will not be frustrated. You will not tell your wife Emma or anyone else of this law until Elohim commands it. I will perform your sealing and stay to witness you consummate your marriage."
Joseph was shocked. He felt like his world had collapsed. He had never contemplated the possibility that he might be commanded to betray his wife. He thought maybe this was a test like Abraham faced with Issac and the Lord would stay his hand before consumating the act. Nonetheless he knew that he could not disobey God. Joseph would do what the god commands at all costs. He knew Fanny would be milking the cows at that moment, so he went into the barn with the angel following him just out of view.
Joseph relayed the message he had received and the threat that they now faced. Fanny knew that she must obey the prophet so she grasped his hand and agreed. The angel suddenly became visible to Fanny. The angel performed the sealing ceremony and commanded Joseph and Fanny to consummate their union.
Joseph hopes that he would not be forced to go through with the act was dashed when the angel did not intervene. Joseph resolved to fully obey gods command. He kissed Fanny on her soft pink lips. She gasped at his touch. She had never touched a boy and now she would be the wife of the prophet of God.
