Episode notes

The speaker reflects on witnessing the destruction of his people in the Nephi's, who learned about the gospel and were ultimately destroyed. Despite knowing about Christ's coming through prophecies, the speaker hopes his son will survive to write about their history and Christ to benefit future generations. The speaker's record abridges the content from the large plates of Nephi, serving as an explanatory note for readers to learn from history and possibly alter the future.

Dr. Dirkmaat delves into the concept of the Lord’s mercy and His plan for His children, as well as the pattern established by the writers of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith for faithfully following the Lord.
