Hey Russ and Rod, it is good to see you both together! Hal Stead

I appreciate both of you brothers very much. I love your enthusiasm and teachings. At the birth of Christ, both promised lands were simultaneously bathed in light. It is significant that now they will be in darkness. The more I study and learn, the more I see that "the first shall be last and the last shall be first" is a principle that applies across the breadth and width of the Gospel and time.

What have you heard about Big Spring, in Van Buren MO? It is one of the largest springs in MO (286M gallons a day) and some believe it to be the Waters of Mormon. A few hours west of Cape on Highway 60, (I live in the area) you should consider checking it out.

That sounds quite fascinating. I'll have to look into it.

That is an awesome coat Rod!!

[@PatrickThorup]

I am super excited for this year's eclipse! My family went to Missouri for the last one, and I am really looking forward to going to Missouri for it this year. 😁

[@sandraneale128]

Exciting times!

[@lasinajensen4577]

We have been promised that God will reveal all things both in the Heavens above and in the earth below. I believe the uncovering of the true history of the Book of Mormon and other ancient records we have is what the Lord is talking about. I’m so excited for more people to hear about these true historical events and sacred histories.

Love you coat Rod!

Joseph Smith in September 15, 1842, issue of the Times and Seasons: ("These wonderful ruins of Palenque are among the mighty works of the Nephites."; "Nephites...lived about the narrow neck of land, which now embraces Central America")--Joseph Smith was editor.

[@BookofMormonEvidence]

Watch the video. Joseph did not author these articles, but rather it was either Winchester or Joseph's brother William.

[@Pay-It_Forward]

@@BookofMormonEvidence Joseph Smith owned the book quoted in the times & seasons, plus sent the author a letter saying something similar. Guatemala has over 3 dozen volcanoes, which have erupted recently & could have caused lightning as in 3 Nephi. North America has only 1 volcano that has erupted in the last 30K years, St Helens. Joseph was in town, going in & out of hiding between July 20, 1842 & late Oct 1942, serving as active editor until mid-October of Nauvoo Times & Seasons. This is in the Joseph Smith papers. Joseph Smith also continued to attend to his many ecclesiastical and civic responsibilities, until mid-October, while going in & out of hiding at friends, in Nauvoo. The grammar also matches Joseph's. He also never signed Joseph when quoting other people. He would say "WE" & sign "Ed" when quoting.

[@Pay-It_Forward]

@@BookofMormonEvidence John Solomon Fullmer, plural wife brother in law of Joseph Smith, stepped down as treasurer on September 9th, 1842, in order to house & protect Joseph Smith. William Clayton took over as treasurer on September 9th, 1842. But Joseph was in town for 6 more weeks, mostly at John Solomon Fullmer's place. but had additional locations. John Solomon Fullmer is also the person who sneaked the guns into Carthage jail. John was friends with the jailer.

[@PabloTheGreat1]

@@Pay-It_Forwardbook of Mormon doesn’t mention volcanoes. Ever.

[@Pay-It_Forward]

@@PabloTheGreat1 (Thunder or explosions) with extreme shaking of the ground. The lightning was after the extreme (shacking & thundering) with destroyed cities & sunk them into the sea. The bang from lightning doesn't sink things into the oceans or sea. A volcanic explosion, can cause 3 days of darkness, earthquake, sinking of cities, uplifting of valley to mountain & extreme lighting in the whirlwinds of volcanic ash! There is recent evidence of this in Guatemala, yet zero evidence in North America. Great lakes has been stable 300 million years. Appalachian 30 million years. Geology is far more definitive than DNA. No such event in ILLINOIS.
