Today we served in the Stoddard Tinsmith shop and in the Wilford Woodruff Home. A beautiful day the first day to hit 80 degrees and clear all day. After so many days of cold rain and wind, it was wonderful.
In addition to the beauty of the day in Old Nauvoo, we were talking to the Bishop of the Nauvoo 1st Ward about the Book of Mormon and he had me look up a you tube video produced by BYU professors of religion. This was so fascinating that I wanted to have all of you look it up. If any one tries to tell you that Joseph Smith either made up the Book of Mormon story, or whatever, this is one more evidence, that points up the fact that it won't be long before the irrefutable evidence is so plentiful that no one will be able to deny it's truthfulness.
Look up you tube: Nahom - Book Of Mormon Evidence. In the first minute of the video they will show a map, with Lehi's proposed route. At the place where they think was the Valley of Lemuel, Mom and I, when we went to Israel, stayed at a Marriott resort at Elat which is exactly across the Red Sea from this location. Kristen and Steve, you may remember the photos I took looking across the Red Sea, and me telling you that that distant sea shore was where we think Lehi went.
He also told me of new discoveries that non LDS archeologists are making here in the central and northern states that are uncovering what they call the "Hopewell" indians, which date from 500 B.C. to 500 A.D. They are finding ore smelters, metal breast plates, swords, Egyptian script writings and many things just as they are mentioned in the Book of Mormon. Prior to this we all were thinking that the Book of Mormon was centered in Central America, but the evidence is now shifting to this area (which incidentally, is what Joseph Smith was saying all along.). And it is coming from non-LDS researchers.
