When you're talking about prayer and answers to prayer, and visions and angels, and so on, it's easy to say, "Show me the evidence, or else why should I pay attention?" The evidence to the divinity of everything that we've talked about, including visions and appearances and angels and witnesses and so on, the real witness is the Book of Mormon itself. It's tangible, it's legible, it's readable, and you can't deny that it's there. So it is the instrument for the gathering of Israel. It is the instrument to prepare the world for the Second Coming. That's why you want to be missionaries. You are helping to get people ready.

Yeah, and we have one last page. We have one of the few pages that remains from the original writing of Oliver Cowdery as Joseph Smith dictated the Book of Mormon. Ask Brendan. Just bring one precious page.

So we've got that protected, encapsulated in this mylar to give it a little bit more rigidity and then protection. But this, as President Nelson mentioned, is one of the few surviving pages of the original manuscript as written down by Oliver Cowdery. This is from Alma, chapter 34, which is one of our special chapters on the need and the power of the infinite Atonement. Very few of these pages survive. They weren't in great storage conditions for many years. And so we all know--well what happened to the gold plates after the Book of Mormon was translated? They were returned to Moroni. Moroni took them back, right. So this is as close as we get. So for me, I find this special, and it's really a powerful witness as you look at the documents. This is as close as we get to the gold plates. This is the first time Alma 34 was written in English as the prophet dictates that to his scribe, Oliver Cowdery. It's interesting that this page has the word "atonement" three times. And in Alma 34, it's mentioned seven times. But the Atonement of Jesus Christ is one of the most important aspects of the doctrine, because it tells us about Jesus being our Savior and our Redeemer, and that we'll all be resurrected. In the King James translation of the New Testament, the word "atonement" appears only one time. And so you have that one leaf of paper three times what you have in the whole New Testament n the King James version. Can they touch that, or is that OK? So we're teaching about the Atonement.

Written by Oliver Cowdery. Well, there's just not much left to see now. They can pass it around carefully. You're seeing what Oliver Cowdery wrote as Joseph Smith said the words, translating from the gold plates. Imagine. Have you wondered what he used for a pen? He didn't have a nice ballpoint pen like that. Do you know what he used? Did he write with a feather? Yes, he used the feather of a turkey. A turkey quill. You dipped that in ink, so he'd have to dip that just about every other letter, wouldn't he. Amazing.

Thank you.
