For us, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Moroni is a prophet from the Book of Mormon and the last one to write on the gold plates.

Moroni lived many years ago on the American continent and witnessed the destruction of his people. Before he died, he hid the gold plates so they would come forth in the Lord’s time.

Many years later, Moroni appeared as an angel to the prophet Joseph Smith and showed him where the plates were located, which were later translated as the Book of Mormon.

For us, Moroni represents the fulfillment of God’s promises, the restoration of the gospel, and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The statue of the angel Moroni on top of many temples symbolizes that the gospel will be preached to all the world

my testimony below...

** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ that makes this

 Great Plan operational.

At the end of this 
June 14th, 2026

I pray you have had a                           restful, peaceful, and spiritual     Sabbath Day...

I share these truths as                                my testimony to you...


Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence.  He loves us just as we are at this very moment.

*** *** ***

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all. 

“An omnicompetent God leaves all mortals free to choose, but how grateful we should be that God chose long, long ago to rescue and to resurrect all His children through the Atonement of His Son. Nevertheless, some reject and many are indifferent to these and other divine beckonings, mostly because they are too caught up in the cares of the world. They are strangers to the Savior, who is far from the thoughts and intents of their hearts.”

Neal A Maxwell

How Choice a Seer!


                                                                     Revelation 19:16: -- "And he hath on his vesture and on
 his thigh a name written, 
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS".

I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. 
Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."

***  *** *** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration.  He is the Restorer of all things.

President Dallin H. Oaks is the Living Prophet today for all the world.

The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  Because of the restored Priesthood Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.
