The FIRM Foundation is pleased to announce our April 1-2, 2010 4th Semi-Annual National
Book of Mormon Prophecies Conference;
A Celebration of the Prophet Joseph
Our previous National Book of Mormon Prophecies Conference, held October 1-2, 2009 at the luxurious Zermatt Resort and Conference Center in Midway, Utah, was an overwhelming success! It was a truly historical event that those who witnessed it will never forget! This year we have two National Conferences scheduled, April 1-2 and Sept. 30 - Oct. 1.
Our spring conference focuses on the life, knowledge, and legacy of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The October conference will focus on the oral and written histories, ancestry, and prophecies of the Native Americans of North America. Both of these conferences will be historic events that you will want to attend.
The Prophet Joseph Smith was pivotal to the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in these latter days. He grew from boy to manhood under the divine guidance of the Lord gaining knowledge from multiple revelations as well as heavenly visitations from ancient prophets. He translated the ancient history of a highly advanced civilization, inscribed on plates of gold and written by the ancient inhabitants of this continent, as a sacred record full of prophecies of our day. His legacy will endure throughout eternity as the prophet, seer and revelator who, with the Savior opened the dispensation of the fullness of times.
Come and celebrate with us this extraordinary American Prophet as never before. Learn at the hands of his direct descendants about his life, his legacy and his sacred history. Experience the thrill of seeing personal possessions that he held in his hands and witness for the first time in history his Nauvoo Legion sword to be displayed side-by-side with the Nauvoo Legion sword of his mentor, brother and personal friend, Hyrum Smith. In life they were not divided, in death they were not separated, and now their swords will be reunited again for the first time in 165 years!
Come and learn the historical facts surrounding Joseph's knowledge of Book of Mormon geography and that he was completely consistent with the prophecies and promises held within its text. As you participate in this conference it is hoped that you will gain a renewed love and respect for the leader of this dispensation, his importance in the Lord's plan, his knowledge, dignity and majesty as you become acquainted with his actual personal affects and associate directly with his posterity.
More information on this historic conference will be sent out by email next week.
