Greetings!

Join us for two amazing events that will make your studies of the Book of Mormon "come alive." You will learn of astounding new Book of Mormon evidences that will have you saying, as have tens of thousands that have now seen this information, "Why didn't I know about this before?"
 
You are cordially invited to participate in a special presentation titled New Evidences of the Book of Mormon in the Promised Land of America. This new research validates the Book of Mormon as both a spiritual and historical record and testifies of the Prophetic calling of The Prophet, Joseph Smith Jr. This was accomplished through DNA, Prophetic, Scriptural, Historical, Climatological, Archaeological, Social and Cultural evidences found as a result of four years of research.
 

We will address questions such as:
Where is the 'Promised Land' of the Book of Mormon?
What Latter-day nation qualifies to be this "Promised Land' according to its 36 prophecies and promises?
Did the Book of Mormon account take place on this 'Promised Land?'
What clues does the book itself give us about where the Book of Mormon took place?
What did the Prophet, Joseph Smith know about the book's geography?
What is the controversy surrounding DNA and the Book of Mormon?
Why is finding 'Lamanite' DNA in the America's important?
Could genetics help us discover where the Book of Mormon may have taken place?
What indications does the book itself give about climate?
Are there any civilizations that qualify as being 'Nephite', 'Lamanite', or 'Jaredite'?
if so, what archaeological evidence is there for these civilizations?
Are there any 'Book of Mormon' archaeological artifacts?
Is knowing the geography of the Book of Mormon important?
Will this information lead to a greater understanding of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, the Prophet, Joseph Smith and to the gospel he restored?
And most importantly, can the answers to these questions help to bring people to Christ?
 
At these events you will experience: Ancient artifacts, Historic Books on the antiquities of America, new Mormon art that will take your breath away and items of Church History that will bring it to life for you.  

All who have seen it have been very moved and excited about the information and how it 'just makes sense' intellectually as well as spiritually. For most, it will feel like you have always known these things to be true, and for others, these new insights and information may completely change your paradigm!

This is a great opportunity to do some missionary work, or to bring anyone who is struggling with their testimony of the gospel, or the Book of Mormon's authenticity as an actual historical document. It is also hoped that it will strengthen your own testimony of the truth's found in the restored gospel.

We encourage those from the states in this region to come to this "Heartland" conference.  Invitations are extended to and have been sent to our friends in AR, IA, IL, KS, MO, NE, OK, and SD.  Please invite those you know from any of these states.   
 
 
Sincerely,
Rod Meldrum

About the Presenters
 
 About Rod Meldrum
Rod Meldrum served as senior scientific researcher for seven years on a natural science textbook.  He was President and CEO of High Country Gourmet in Orem, Utah. More recently he was Director of Business Development for Interact Medical, an online network LMS (Learning Management System) based training systems developer for surgeons and patients in the medical device industry. He and his wife, Tonya, are the parents of four children.
Brother Meldrum served a mission in Milan, Italy and has served in many ward and stake level leadership callings, most recently High Priest group presidency and Young Men's President of his Provo, Utah ward.
He began his study of issues surrounding the controversy over DNA and the Book of Mormon in 2003 which lead to questioning the origins of proposed geographical settings of the Book of Mormon. In addition he completed intensive study of the Book of Mormon itself and the historical background and documents associated with this subject. In 2007 he began sharing his research in free presentations done at his own expense in the Intermountain Region of the United States.
Interest in the research reached a point that it was no longer possible to accommodate all those who wanted to learn more and it was suggested that the presentation be recorded, which resulted in creation of a DVD titled "DNA Evidence for Book of Mormon Geography.  Brother Meldrum has since given presentations across the United States and has spoken to many thousands of faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on his findings in support of the truthfulness of Book of Mormon and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The comprehensive 4 hour DVD has now reached tens of thousands of viewers across the globe who have overwhelmingly expressed gratitude and excitement about the information, many stating that it "just makes sense" intellectually as well as spiritually.
