Letter VII (7)

President Nelson taught, "Good inspiration is based upon good information." If you are a Latter-day Saint and haven't read Oliver Cowdery's 8 essays on Church history, including Letter VII, you need to read them to understand Church history, the Book of Mormon, and the related teachings of the prophets.

This is the place
The valley west of Cumorah, looking east at Moroni's statue (above the l in battles). I think we should have a "This is the Place" monument there to match the one in Salt Lake.
