Even in tumultuous times, we can find hope in Jesus Christ. Moroni, the last prophet in the Book of Mormon, witnessed the destruction of his nation.

Today we celebrate the 195th anniversary of the coming forth of the gold plates. On September 22, 1827, an angel appeared to Joseph Smith and permitted him to retrieve an ancient record written on gold plates buried within the Hill Cumorah. This record would come to be known as the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The gold plates were then translated and distributed across the world.
