    This is so beautiful! It’s the first instance I have heard of someone not of our faith honoring Joseph Smith in this way and in an intent to foster inter-religious harmony! It made me cry that they would include us in such a way!

    Before people start freaking out about “shrines”, understand the church did not commission this, and was made independently of the church. We simply respect that Brother Joseph was recognized as a founder of world religion in a respectable way

    First prophecy of Moroni about Joseph Smith: "He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people."

    We've been called to serve in the India Bengaluru mission and we couldn't be more thrilled about this event! The perceptions that government and civic leaders hold for our church as peace loving, of holding the same values of marriage and family, is important and significant. We are hoping it will mean more missionaries will be allowed to enter India. Currently we are waiting for Visas along with two other couples. I just sense India is ready to blossom like South America and Africa in the past. It's an exciting time to be called as missionaries to India!!
