The Fighting Preacher: Mission to Palmyra

Accepting the Call

Willard Bean, the former world’s middleweight boxing champion, and his wife Rebecca are called in 1915 by LDS Church President Joseph F. Smith to serve in the Eastern States Mission. Their specific assignment is in Palmyra, New York, to care for the Joseph Smith home and farm, including the newly acquired Sacred Grove. Despite the challenges, they accept the call with optimism.

Struggles and Opposition

Upon arriving in Palmyra, the Beans face fierce opposition from the local residents. Merchants refuse to sell goods, and Rebecca, pregnant, struggles to find a willing midwife. Despite adversity, they persevere and welcome their daughter Palmyra into the world.

Challenges and Triumphs

Years pass, and the Beans continue to face resistance from the locals. Willard’s boxing match to win acceptance backfires, but with Palmyra’s suggestion, they turn to love and service. Through kindness and selflessness, they gradually earn the town’s trust and respect.

Path to Acceptance

Rebecca’s pies, Willard’s assistance, and Palmyra’s acts of kindness soften the hearts of the townspeople. Eventually, the owner of the Hill Cumorah relinquishes his portion to the church, marking a significant milestone in their mission. In 1939, after twenty-four years of service, the Beans receive gratitude from the church and prepare to return to Utah.

Beloved Members of the Community

Despite their initial struggles, the Beans become cherished members of the community, with Willard even serving as the president of the Lion’s Club. A heartfelt farewell ceremony honors their dedication, ensuring their legacy in Palmyra will never be forgotten. Watch The Fighting Preacher Full Movie to witness their inspiring journey of love, perseverance, and acceptance.
