Tim Adams Husband, Father, Author, Iconology Expert
Presentation: 
Tim Adams is first and foremost a father of six children and married to the love of his life Katy Ann MacArthur. Raised and lived around the US spending middle and High school years in Upstate New York. I remember well camping as a boy scout on the backside of the Hill Cumorah. Sneaking out at night as our leaders slept, digging with sticks looking for that stone box that held the plates.
Professors hadn’t taught me yet that New York’s Hill was the wrong one. Nonetheless we moved there when I was 13; and I identified strongly with the boy prophet. My Father became a professor of Art History working on organizing an iconografical index for the Cathedral of Chartres. Having read a few of my Fathers papers and having him as a Seminary teacher trained me to “see” what the scriptures looked like in stone. Latter served a mission in the Netherlands Amsterdam mission, where I had fun with my companions seeing if they could identify the apostles and prophets in the large Catholic churches.
Tim attended Ricks College as it was then known; and found his girlfriend Katy MacAurthur (and yes; she is related to that famous General), and married her in the Washington DC Temple. Tim attended a meeting in Portland Oregon where he lives; where a Christian man gave a presentation on the constellations, and how they testified of Christ. Having an acute interest in Greek mythology, I thought how strange that he fears using the icons that are Greek to testify of Christ’s godliness. Someone should write a book about it that understands iconology. So “Pattern of the Heavens” became my first book written in 2009. This year in March I completed a second book called “Similitude’s”. One could call it the iconology of Old Testament stories.
This new book is a twist on a topic about typology, taking it to new places it has yet to go. Tim graduated from Ricks College earning an associate degree in general education. He has not gone on to further his studies in any direction. No masters degree, no PHD, preferring instead to be a self made man; husband, Father, follower of Christ, and yes a dreamer.

David W. Allan Ambassador for God’s LIGHT and TRUTH and Faith/Filled Physicist
Presentation: April 2024
Fri April 19th, 1215 to 1 PM
How Can we know the Truth about Everything Book of Mormon?
Sat April 20th, 11 to 1145 AM
Thy Kingdom Come on Earth as it is in Heaven
David W. Allan has spent 61 years researching time and related topics. He helped develop the nation’s official atomic-clock timing system during his 32 years in Boulder, CO, at the National Bureau of Standards (now National Institute of Standards and Technology). For 25 of those years, his research group was responsible for generating official time for the United States and helping with official time for the world.
My new book Time & Eternity, The End-Times And Beyond Revealed has gone to the printer! After many months, I can convey to you this EXCITING AND IMPORTANT NEWS!
I know you care about God’s role in your life and in world events. An understanding of the way God’s time works in your life is critical to your spiritual, mental, physical, financial, and social health.
I’m a faith-filled physicist who specializes in precision timing: atomic, man’s, God’s, and His Eternity domain. I enjoy sharing unique insights into scientific and religious harmony to prove God’s word. I believe His word is of infinite depth. I am delighted to share with you the understanding I believe He has given me. My book details the enormous benefits of this understanding.
The Book Premiere
We have been working hard to get ready for the upcoming Book of Mormon Evidence Conference (20-22 Oct. 2022) at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. I will be speaking there on Friday and Saturday. My publisher, Boyd Tuttle will be selling my book in his vendor booth and the Meldrum’s will be selling it as well.
He wrote the algorithm for optimally combining the readings of an ensemble of atomic clocks, and with improvements by colleagues it is still being used to generate time for the United States. During that time, he spent several man years helping in the development of GPS. Atomic clocks are the heart of GPS, and the folks developing GPS came to Boulder to learn how to best use them being taught by Allan and his colleagues at NBS.
His 1965 master’s thesis became the international standard for how to characterize and use atomic clocks, and his work is as well known in the time and frequency, navigation, telecommunication communities as any other when it comes to how to best use precise timing devices. In 2016, he was given the highest award given by the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers with the citation: “For seminal work… regarding time determination, time prediction, time-dissemination and timekeeping through contributions to atomic frequency standards, space-based navigation, time and frequency stability analysis, time-scale algorithms, and timekeeping devices.”
In 2018 he was given the coveted the IEEE Keithley Award with the citation, “For leadership in time determination and precise timing instruments.” The IEEE publishes more scientific papers than any other organization. During November 2018, the IEEE came to his home and spent two days documenting his life’s history because of the many significant contributions he has made to the world timing community; his ORAL HISTORY may be viewed on line with video clips and lots of pictures: https://ethw.org/Oral-History:David_W._Allan.
In his lifetime he has seen a billion-fold increase in timing accuracy thanks to the rapid advancements in atomic clock technology. Because of his significant contributions, fellow colleagues nominated him to be an IEEE FELLOW. The IEEE selection committee announced the approval of his nomination for the year 2021 for “outstanding and unusual professional achievement”. The IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology.
As a faithful Latter-day Saint, he has served as a bishop, stake president, and in the Denver Mission Presidency, and his recent book, www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com , gives a grand harmony between science and religion. LDS Living has carried an excerpt from it, http://www.ldsliving.com/The-Powerful-Book-of-Mormon-Phrase-We-Always-See-but-Never-Think-About/s/81070 , and his Amazon reviews are excellent. He is pleased that the book’s web site is receiving international and growing interest, with now more than 100 nations visiting his book’s website as it is his gospel outreach. Several of his talks are on youtube and on his book’s website: www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com, as well as on BookofMormonStreaming.com and covering a broad range of topics.

Jeffrey W. Amberson- Author, Let the Scriptures Prevail!: A Prophetic Model for Book of Mormon Lands.
2024 Presentation:
Thurs April 18, 3:00 to 3:45 pm
Let the Scriptures Prevail!: A Prophetic Model for Book of Mormon Lands.
Jeffrey W. Amberson is a life-long member of the Church. His third great-grandfather, Newel Knight, was a close friend to the Prophet Joseph Smith and served as president of the Colesville Branch. Jeff served a two-year mission in Japan, has served in two high councils and four bishoprics, twice as bishop, and enjoys teaching Gospel Doctrine. He and Barbara, his wife, have been married for 45 years and have 5 children and 15 grandchildren.
Jeff became interested in Book of Mormon lands in 2008, after attending a presentation given by Rod Meldrum. Jeff answered an old question with a new approach, and relies on Book of Mormon prophecies and revelations to determine where in the Americas that the Nephites and Lamanites could, and could not, have lived. As far as he knows, he is the first author to disqualify parts of the Americas from consideration by using Book of Mormon prophecies and matching history. After seven years of research, he published his book, “Let the Scriptures Prevail!: A Prophetic Model for Book of Mormon Lands.” Four years ago, he published a second edition of his book.
Presentation: Adding Life to your Years Chris is a former Army Medic, BYU Graduate, Permaculture Farmer, Business Coach, Entrepreneur and Philosopher. He served a mission in Dallas, Texas, and he and his wife RaNae are parents to 7 children. We live, and die, at the cellular level. Healthy cells – Healthy body. In this message, Chris shares what he’s found to leverage the body’s best defense systems and help us each achieve our genetic potential…naturally. Proper blood flow assures that our body’s 11 separate, but interdependent systems are fed, hydrated, and nourished. Our circulatory system also serves as the trashman to carry out metabolic waste. Chris’ message points out how disturbances in small vessels can create big problems. His message is aimed at illustrating how, even in our advanced years, we can promote and improve the flow of our own “river of life”. Chris also shows how a scriptural principle of wellness has been proven scientifically over, and over again. Are you aiding biology with the best technology? Learn how something as old as the earth can be leveraged to: increase mental acuity, speed the body’s recovery, enhance metabolic disposal, boost performance, improve and aid sleep function, promote endurance, and reduce stress? You’ve heard of pharmaceuticals, perhaps even nutraceuticals. Now there’s a whole new category of care using natural methods that assist our body… electroceuticals. By mobilizing all the good things we put in our body, or on it, this simple 8-minute relaxing routine may be one way that you will decide to add life to your years.

John B. Andelin – MD Pathology, Challenges neo-Darwinism, Author
Oct 2022 Presentation:
Evolution: Mask of Science
If you believe in the scriptures and find the theory of evolution to be troubling, let me assure you…You have nothing to worry about. There is no truth to the theory of evolution, and I will prove it. Topics to be covered in this presentation include:
1. The founding evidences presented for evolution are nothing beyond philosophical opinions. In other words, the primary evidences are not scientific evidences.
2. Evolution is mathematically impossible on multiple levels, and this will be demonstrated by easily understood numbers.
3. The central Darwinian mechanism of evolution has never been demonstrated to work and defies known scientific laws
4. There is no need to try to blend God with evolution. Attempts to accommodate evolution with church doctrine require the perversion of the scriptural accounts of the creation. Attempts to reconcile the claims of evolution with science require the bending of known laws of science.
The purpose of this presentation is to present facts that are easily understandable to anyone with a reasonable education but not necessarily with a scientific emphasis. Despite voices that you will hear from credentialed authorities that “evolution is a fact”, you can understand with certainty the utter falsity of neo-Darwinian hypothesis.
2nd Presentation:
The Science of Beauty
Even if you don’t have a scientific background, you can understand with certainty that the claims of organic evolution are false. The creation of aesthetic design through mechanisms of evolution is a challenge that is rarely addressed. In this presentation, patterns of aesthetic design in nature will be analyzed, and observations will be shown that point directly to an inference of intelligent design. These facts are not addressed in the literature and will put to rest any questions you might have as to the plausibility of naturalistic evolution.
Bio
John B. Andelin, born 1951, is a retired physician (pathology). For over thirty years, he has studied the evolution controversy and has formulated some unique perspectives that pose serious challenges to neo-Darwinism. He has published a book entitled, Evolution: Mask of Science, which is written to expose the theory of evolution as scientifically bankrupt. In addition, he has recently begun making short video presentations to expand on some of the topics in his book. A digital copy of his book is available free of charge from his website (maskofscience.com). He has been married to his wife Cindy for 48 years and has seven children and 24 grandchildren.

Freedom & Dismantling the Administrative State
My role was to collect intelligence from human sources to support and enable our warfighters to accomplish their mission of keeping our country safe. I passed a background investigation that granted me a Top Secret security clearance. In 2014 I volunteered for deployment to Afghanistan, serving in Herat and Kabul. Working alongside our Special Forces, I went off base to recruit human agents to provide information about our enemies’ plans and intentions (such as where IEDs were planted that would harm our troops). My reporting was briefed to our senior military commanders and was cited in the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB).
Over the last 3 years I have been working for a management consulting firm where I have been at the center of international business. I’ve learned first hand the mechanics of international trade and how to effectively work with diverse teams to solve complex problems. This experience in the private sector has provided me the the skillset necessary to start making the American economy work for America, not globalists. Recently engaged to my fiancé, I am hoping to start a family. In my spare time I volunteer as a youth football coach and have a passion for studying archaeology and biblical history.

The Lincoln Hypothesis by Timothy Ballard 
Abraham Lincoln became the sixteenth US president during a very dark time in America’s history. Author Timothy Ballard explores the crucial role that President Lincoln played to bring this nation closer to heaven. Readers will see Lincoln as a man inspired of God who invoked a covenant relationship between America and its maker — not unlike the national covenants invoked by righteous leaders in the Book of Mormon. In addition, The Lincoln Hypothesis reveals documented evidence that Abraham Lincoln did, in fact, check out the Book of Mormon as he struggled with making some of the most critical decisions of his presidency. Did he read it? Did it influence him? Was the Book of Mormon a key factor in Lincoln’s success and the healing of a nation? The author states, “As you read, you will, like a prosecutor reviewing a case, or like a jury determining a verdict, identify valuable pieces of evidence that can be fully substantiated. You will also identify pieces of evidence that cannot. I ask you to consider all the evidence and weight it accordingly.
Through this study, many questions regarding the interplay between the restored gospel and the Civil War will be answered. New questions may emerge that will not be so easily answered. Either way, in the end you will find yourself on a most exhilarating investigative journey.” DVD – Abraham Lincoln became the sixteenth President of the United States during a very dark time in America’s history. In this fascinating DVD, author Timothy Ballard explores the crucial role that President Lincoln played to bring this nation closer to heaven. You will see Lincoln as a man inspired of God who invoked a covenant relationship between America and its maker—not unlike the national covenants invoked by righteous leaders in the Book of Mormon. In addition, The Lincoln Hypothesis Documentary DVD reveals documented evidence that Abraham Lincoln did, in fact, check out the Book of Mormon from the Library of Congress as he struggled with making some of the most critical decisions of his presidency. Did he read it? Did it influence him? Was the Book of Mormon a key factor in Lincoln’s success and the healing of a nation?
The Washington Hypothesis by Timothy Ballard We know that George Washington was a moral man and an inspiring leader, but did he possibly know more than we suppose? Was he a national covenant maker like Moses, Abraham, Lehi, or Captain Moroni? did he understand that he was fighting for the liberty of a promised land protected by God, a place where the Lord’s holy temples could be built? The Washington Hypothesis explores the intriguing evidence that Washington and the other Founding Fathers knew the Lord had a greater purpose for America. It takes us on a fascinating historical journey through the miracles of the Revolutionary War to the foundational documents of this great nation to the symbolism evident in every corner of the nation’s capital. Exploring how Washington’s beliefs framed his every action, author Timothy Ballard draws compelling conclusions about the divinity of that great leader’s calling. As we see the evidence of the Lord’s hand in Washington’s life, we may discover a much grander design at work in the founding of our nation—and thus a greater desire to strive to preserve those promised blessings.
Ballard is the best-selling author of “The Covenant: One Nation Under God,” and is the author of the sequel to that work, “The Covenant, Lincoln, and The War.” He has taught American and International Politics courses at Imperial Valley College, San Diego State University, and American Heritage School.

I am also an avid researcher of Book of Mormon & New Jerusalem geography. Over the past few years, I have identified multiple “geographic” revelations of the Lord, which when joined together describe precise boundary coordinates for the sacred “land of promise” as revealed in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine & Covenants. Once applied, the results are both stunning and undeniable.
The coordinates point directly to one specific nation… a nation founded upon the covenant land of father Adam; upon the land promised to Joseph who was sold into Egypt; upon the prophetic land of the Book of Mormon and the holy land of the New Jerusalem.
This same land was considered sacred to my ancestors. From my Powhatan, Abenaki, Shawnee & Cherokee ancestry… to my Jewish, European and Royal Family Lines, this nation was viewed as “a shining beacon on a hill for all the world to see.” Many of my ancestors participated directly in the founding of this nation… as well as in the founding of this church
I owe it to my beloved ancestors… to speak on their behalf, if I may … to remind us all of the covenant land upon which we now live… upon which we have taken oaths, pledged our allegiance, called “our home” and buried our dead
From my great first cousin, “The Father of our Country” President George Washington… to my great grandmother and grandfather Pocahontas and father Chief Powhatan who helped save the new American colony at Jamestown, Virginia… to my great grandfather Chief Samoset who helped save the new American colony at Plymouth, Massachusetts… to the list of great grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles and cousins who arrived on the Mayflower and were present at “The First Thanksgiving” … to my great frontiersman uncle Daniel Boone who fought in the “Battle of Blue Licks” in the Revolutionary War and helped establish colonies throughout Kentucky… to my great uncle Sam Houston who fought under Andrew Jackson in “The War of 1812” & at “The Battle of the Alamo”, who also became the First President of the Republic of Texas… and to my great grandfather Reynolds Cahoon, missionary companion to Hyrum and Samuel Smith (brothers of the Prophet Joseph) and who helped construct the Kirtland and Nauvoo Temples.

April 18 Thurs. Zions Camp, Zelph Mound & signs of the times
Aril 29 Fri Joseph’s words about Zelph did not fail
I moved to Nauvoo in 1982 and purchased the dental practice there. I soon found himself caught up in the fervor of early Church History and helped with the Martyrdom Trail. Next, after I specialized in Endodontics, I moved to Quincy, Illinois, where the bishop of the ward there took us on a Father and Son’s outing. He read to us about Zions Camp around the campfire and we searched for Zelph Mound the next day but could not find it. Nevertheless, my interest was piqued.
After moving to Chicago, I met with Dr. Melvin Martin a Pittsfield, Illinois dentist and Church historian. He took several of us to see Zelph Mound for the first time. I was impressed with the beauty on the place and we formed the Zions Camp Tail Committee. Next, I relocated with my family to Jacksonville, Illinois, which is located on the on the Zions Camp Trail and near Zelph Mound. Our committee studied Local Church history and hosted many youth groups and visitors to see the Mound and learn more about Church History. Our committee included Richard Mudd, Dr. Melvin Martin and hand surgeon Dr. Mark Greene.
At subsequent events in Jacksonville, we met Zion’s Camp expert, James Bradley, Book- of- Mormon archaeologist expert, Wayne May, and Book- of- Mormon Geography expert, Rod Meldrum, who all lent their expertise and learned from us. Rod Meldrum brought many bus loads to Zelph Mound. In response to what we had learned, I wrote the book, “Discovering the Secrets of Zelph Mound and the Holy pendant”. At Conferences, I have presented many times on these topics.
After 17 years in Jacksonville, Illinois, I moved to Utah to be closer to my children. I continue, however, to present on these topics at every opportunity. I have BA from the U of Utah in Medical Biology, a Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the U of Washington and a certificate of specialty in Endodontics from the University of Illinois. I served a mission to the Philippines and have held many church callings, including High Priest Group Leader, Counselor in the bishopric and Scoutmaster. In Illinois I was also awarded the Silver Beaver Award for service in scouting. My wife, Terese, and I have been blessed with five children and 20 grandchildren.
Philip Beale FRGS, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition. The project can be found at: www.phoeniciansbeforecolumbus.com
Oct 2022 Presentation:
“Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition – Mission Accomplished”
Philip Beale is a British sailor, adventurer, expedition leader and entrepreneur. He led the Borobudur Ship Expedition and the 2008-10 Phoenician Expedition. Beale has a BA Honours degree in Politics from the University of Hull. and began his career in the Royal Navy. He is a qualified MCA RYA Yachtmaster, a member of the Naval and Military Club and The Royal Yachting Association. The Phoenicia, a replica Phoenician ship built in 2008, will set sail from Carthage (Tunisia) in August/September 2019, endeavoring to reach the shores of the Americas in December 2019. The exact end point and date cannot be foreseen due to the vagaries of the Atlantic winds. Philip and crew with our own Boyd Tuttle finished another expedition from Tunisia arriving in Ft. Lauderdale Florida Feb 4, 2020 which shows the possible route of the Mulekites to the New World.
Philip Beale FRGS
“In 2005 Philip conceived the idea of building a replica Phoenicia galley “the Phoenicia” which was completed in August 2008. He then captained the Phoenician Ship expedition which circumnavigated Africa, to retrace the first circumnavigation of Africa in 600 BC as described by Herodotus. This was followed in 2019-20 by the Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition – a trans-Atlantic expedition to show that the Phoenicians could have reached the Americas before Columbus. The expedition proved that Phoenician ships could have reached the Americas in ancient times with relatively little difficulty.
He has written two books, Sailing Close to the Wind (with Sarah Taylor) and Atlantic B.C. – The Epic Recreation of a Phoenician voyage 2000 years before Columbus. They are available to order at www.atlanticbc.net
Philip is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and belongs to the Scientific Exploration Society and is a member of their Honorary Advisory Board. He is Managing Director of adventure travel and wildlife company Pioneer Expeditions.” New quote from Mr. Beale. Jan 31, 2024
Expedition objectives: To prove that the Phoenicians were capable of crossing the Atlantic to the Americas To inspire interest in Phoenician culture and archaeology To provide participation opportunities for young people from Mediterranean countries with a Phoenician heritage To conduct research on plastic pollution levels in the Mediterranean and Atlantic To compare computer model predictions with the actual route
“It is one of the greatest voyages of mankind and if anyone could have done it before Columbus, it was the Phoenicians. Of all the ancient civilizations, they were the greatest seafarers – Lebanon had cedar trees perfect for building strong boats, they were the first to use iron nails and they had knowledge of astrology and currents.” Philip Beale, Expedition Leader See Video Here: His book, Sailing Close to the Wind can be purchased here
Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition After sailing from Carthage Tunisia to Cadiz, Spain, Essaouira, Morocco and Tenerife in the Canary Islands, the ship left the Old World on Nov 23rd and safely reached port in the Dominican Republic on Dec 31st, 2019 having crossed the Atlantic Ocean using nothing but wind, current, sail and compass. The main objective was to prove that the ancient Phoenicians had the technology and knowledge to have reached the Americas no less than 2000 years before Christopher Columbus. The theory is no longer just a theory. With the successful completion of this voyage it may no longer be said that “some historians have suggested…” now it must be said, “in 2020 a 600 BC wooden sailing replica vessel actually crossed the Atlantic ocean without incident. Essentially rewriting maritime history as we know it.
The Phoenicia is a faithfully reconstructed replica of a Phoenician merchant ship based upon a 600 BC wreck (Jules Vern 7) found off the coast of France. With an international crew led by British explorer Philip Beale, the expedition started in started in Carthage, Tunisia, on Sept 28, 2019. The ship arrived in the Dominican Rep on Dec 31st. Then started for Florida on Jan 21st and arrived into the USA on Feb 4th at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where the ship and crew were welcomed by a Coast Guard escort and a “high water salute” provided by the Broward County Marine Fire Dept. while a band played “God Bless America.” Once docked the ship and crew were welcomed by the mayor of Ft. Lauderdale and other dignitaries, where the captain was also awarded “Historic Marine Expedition of the Century.”

From the Website https://www.lapieta.com/
“At the age of twenty-three, Michelangelo was commissioned by a French cardinal to create the Pieta for St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican as a tomb monument. He traveled to the marble quarries at Carrara in central Italy to select the block from which to make this large work. The choice of the stone was important because he envisioned the statue as already existing within the marble, needing only to be “set free” from it. It was sculpted from 1498-1500 and established Michelangelo instantly as the greatest sculptor of his time. The word Pieta means pity from the Greek word for “compassion” or “pity” and refers not, as often presumed to this specific work (Michelangelo actually did two other Pietas later in life, both of them unfinished) but to a traditional type of devotional image. The theme of Mary cradling the dead body of Christ in her lap was all but unknown in Italy before Michelangelo made it famous in this statue, but it was a staple in the repertoire of French and German sculptors and painters. Michelangelo, however, rendered the northern theme in a way never before attempted or accomplished.
Georgio Vasari, The great art historian wrote:
“It would be impossible for any craftsman or sculptor, no matter how brilliant, ever to surpass the grace or design of this work, or try to cut and polish the marble with the skill that Michelangelo displayed. It is certainly a miracle that a formless block of stone could ever have reduced to perfection that nature is scarcely able to create in the flesh. Michelangelo put in to this work so much love and effort (something that he never did again), that he left his name written across the sash over Our Lady’s breast.”

Rob Bishop’s Memoir:
THE THINGS I LEARNED IN CONGRESS
THEY NEVER TAUGHT IN SCHOOL
WHY HE WROTE HIS BOOK:
In the beginning pages of his book, Rob Bishop admits that the reality of being in Congress surprised him. After all, he had served in the Utah State legislature for 16 years – the last two as Speaker of the House – before arriving in Washington. He had taught politics and government in high school for nearly three decades; he had majored in history and political science and had read all the textbooks. Wasn’t he supposed to be an expert in this subject? But, he soon learned that all the textbooks were wrong. His book is an attempt to write down what he wished he had known before he began teaching or went to Congress.
The book is available for the publisher, PRESERVATION BOOKS, for $25.95 plus tax, shipping (preservationbooks.com) or from Amazon books. Go to …

KEY POINTS ABOUT “THE THINGS I LEARNED…”
1. The Great American Experience Is Unique To Human History: John Adams once wrote to his wife Abigail: “How few of the human race have ever had an opportunity of choosing a system of government for themselves and their children? How few have ever had anything more of a choice in govern-ment than in climate? “ Daniel Webster said: “Hold on, dear friend, to the Constitution…Miracles do not cluster. What happened once in 6,000 years may never happen again.”
2. Words Have Meaning: The Founders Meant What They Said: Words had historic meaning. When a Federalist referred to Jefferson as a “Jacobin,” it was impossible to understand the insult without a knowledge of the French Revolution. Even the term “American” was originally a pejorative used in London to sneer at the new world. To understand, one needed to know history. Words changed over time. A “democrat” was reviled during the Revolution, but over the next half century it evolved into a term of honor. In the late 1700s, “natural” meant reasonable. To “discover” something meant a speaker revealed data, not found something. Today, “awful’’means bad, but originally, it meant awe-inspiring.
3. The Founders Clearly Understood What Majorities Often Do: Aristotle labeled government of the few with good intentions as “aristocracy.” Government of the few with bad intentions was an “oligarchy.” A “polity” was the government of the many that was good. The worst form of government was “democracy.” Democracy was viewed as close to mob rule. One needed to study history, and “he who failed to learn the lessons of history” didn’t do too well.
4. Rob Gives Glimpses At How Congress Has Gone Off Course: Over time, little by little, members of Congress and the administrative state veered away from what the Framers intended. Bishop explains how things have gone awry. “No one liked to compromise, but Henry Clay, known as the Great Compromiser, once explained, “All legislation is founded upon the principles of concession…. Let him who elevates himself above humanity… say if he pleases, ‘I never will compromise,’ but let no one who is not above the frailty of our common nature disdain compromise. A leader realized it was better to get part way to a goal than to stay at the starting line. Senator Phil Gramm of Texas said he saw nothing wrong in compromise if it was movement to a goal. If one wanted to go from D.C. to Houston, it was OK to get as far as Memphis. Only if the trip ended in Boston was the compromise bad.” He also exposes character flaws that somehow become institutionalized, such as “”log-rolling.” “Log rolling was when a member had “principled” opposition to a bill until a bridge for the district entered the picture. Leadership and staff had open contempt for such a member, and that tactic didn’t work twice. Friendship also seldom played a role. Congressman Brian Donnelly said, “People talk about friends here. There aren’t any friends. The only blood oath I swore was to my district. In Chapter 4, Bishop defines what the “Nanny State” is and how it erodes the power of the people by killing the Constitution with kindness: “The Founding Fathers wanted limited government, or government large enough to be effective, but with limitations…“Nanny government”is nicer way of saying Nanny government was “administrative state.” A nastier way of saying it was “welfare state.” Regardless, it meant the government told people what was best for them.
5. Structural Changes Needed To Rein In Government Growth: After describing how Congress has apostisized from the ideal, Bishop offers some changes that could get government under control.. First, each house must get back to the basics: The Senate ought to focus on foreign affairs; The House needs to examine the sum total of all Federal spending priorities, rather than vote on 12 different subsets. Second, hand in hand with that, Congress must end “rolling votes.” In addition, Congress must set an “end date” for each bill introduced to stop the practice of “kicking the can down the road.” Changing “how” Congress does its business is a first step in reasserting control over government growth and returning to the Constitution.”

Biblical Symbolism and the Red Heifer
Karen Boren Bio
I always wanted to be a writer. My first story was published in the Pleasant Grove, Utah, town newspaper when I was in the sixth grade. I worked for the Deseret News for ten years where I also wrote for the Church News. Since then I’ve published in the SL Tribune’s Common Carrier, Salt Lake City, and Meridian LDS magazines, Wasatch Parent, Salt Lake City Magazine, and Pioneer Magazine.
Nationally I was published in the San Francisco Progress, Nob Hill Gazette, Red Flags Daily, Modern Maturity, Family Circle, and The Messianic Times.
As a single parent I raised four terrific children, sometimes working two jobs. I love to read and have an extensive library. A special interest is the Dead Sea Scrolls and I have many of the scroll scholarly editions. I covered a BYU International Symposium for the Deseret News, meeting many DSS authors and scholars.
Israel has been a deep interest and I’ve traveled there nine times. Working for a Jewish politician in San Francisco, I learned of the Jewish Volunteers for Israel program. I then served three weeks on an Israeli Naval base in Haifa and two weeks on an Israeli Tank base near the Gaza Strip.
While I love all the scriptures, my favorite has always been the Old Testament. Since 1985, I’ve collected all I could find in print about the Red Heifer of Numbers 19.
In 2004 I finally published my Messiah of the Winepress: Christ and the Red Heifer book after 17 years of searching for information. I interviewed Evangelical authors like Chuck Missler and Hal Lindsey who are wonderful Old Testament scholars. (The only LDS person I knew who spoke about Numbers 19 was my tour guide Daniel Rona.)
I have worked for Young Living Essential Oils for 24 years as a writer and editor. I was gifted with special reading and retaining skills, thank you, Lord! I spotted a typo in the 1979 LDS edition of the Bible.
The biblical oils are a special love for me particularly Sacred Frankincense (Boswellia sacra). I toured the Middle East in 2019 with Gary Young’s frankincense team through Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel.
Alex Boyé Multicultural, Multigenerational, Global Artist!
April 8th 2023 Singing Performance
7-8 pm Main Stage
Alex Boyé is a passionate artist with a golden voice. He and his wife, Julie, are the parents of four children and live in Utah.
Alex was born and raised in London, England, to Nigerian parents. As a child, he lived briefly in Nigeria with his father. When he was eleven, his mother left him in England when she went to Nigeria for a visit, but she ended up staying for eight years, leaving him to take care of himself. He also lived in foster care and with a relative.
A meeting with Craig Jessop at an LDS music festival and other life-changing events led him to convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was sixteen. He served a full-time mission to Bristol, England. The first time he sang in public was while on his mission. After his mission, he formed a boy band called Awesome and tasted fame while working with singers such as Bryan Adams, MC Hammer, George Michael, Mary J. Blige, ‘NSYNC, and Backstreet Boys. He made the decision to back away from the rock lifestyle and the mores of the industry.

Decision to Abandon Fame and Fortune to Follow the Savior
Alex pursued a solo career in 1999 and moved to Utah to pursue a career in Christian music. He released his first religious album The Love Goes On in 2001. Jessop invited him to audition for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in 2006 and he became one of three Black members of the famed choir. He has soloed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and is in demand as a youth speaker. For youth, he presents what he calls “concert-sides.” Evening gatherings for youth are usually called “Firesides,” whether there’s a fire or not, and usually, include a special speaker discussing a spiritual subject. Alex’s presentations are evenings of heart-to-heart conversations about life and gospel principles, entwined with video clips, vocal performance, and sometimes, dance. He minces no words. He comes from a background where a choice was everything. He identifies Satan’s influence in music and media. He also impresses youth with his story of leaving fame and fortune to follow Christ.
During the celebration of Black History month in February 2009, Alex rendered four beautiful solos, original Negro spirituals to a stirred audience during the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word, under the direction of Mack Wilberg and Choir President Mac Christensen.
Don Bradley- Author, Bachelor’s in History, Master’s in History
Presentation Fri Sept 15, 5-6 pm
Don Bradley is an author and independent historian specializing in the beginnings of the Latter-day Saint Restoration. He completed a Bachelor’s in History at BYU and a Master’s in History at Utah State University, where he wrote his thesis on “American Proto-Zionism and the ‘Book of Lehi’: Re-contextualizing the Rise of Mormonism.” Don has performed an internship with the Joseph Smith Papers Project working with the earliest Joseph Smith sources. He was the primary researcher for Brian C. Hales’s Joseph Smith’ Polygamy series. He has published on the translation of the Book of Mormon, plural marriage before Nauvoo, Joseph Smith’s “grand fundamental principles of Mormonism,” and the Kinderhook plates, and has forthcoming works on the Kinderhook plates and the First Vision. He lives in Springville, Utah.
Don is the author of The Lost 116 Pages: Reconstructing the Book of Mormon’s Missing Stories
Book Description:
On a summer day in 1828, Book of Mormon scribe and witness Martin Harris was emptying drawers, upending furniture, and ripping apart mattresses as he desperately looked for a stack of papers he had sworn to God to protect. Those pages containing the only copy of the first three months of Joseph Smith’s translation of the golden plates were forever lost, and the detailed stories they held forgotten over the ensuing years—until now.
In this highly anticipated work, author Don Bradley presents over a decade of historical and scriptural research to not only tell the story of the lost pages but to reconstruct many of the detailed stories written on them. Questions explored and answered include:
- Was the lost manuscript actually 116 pages?
- How did Mormon’s abridgment of this period differ from the accounts in Nephi’s small plates?
- Where did the brass plates and Laban’s sword come from?
- How did Lehi’s family and their descendants live the Law of Moses without the temple and Aaronic priesthood?
- How did the Liahona operate?
- Why is Joseph of Egypt emphasized so much in the Book of Mormon?
- How were the first Nephites similar to the very last?
- What message did God write on the temple wall for Aminadi to translate?
- How did the Jaredite interpreters come into the hands of the Nephite kings?
- Why was King Benjamin so beloved by his people?
Despite the likely demise of those pages to the sands of time, the answers to these questions and many more are now available for the first time in nearly two centuries in The Lost 116 Pages: Reconstructing the Book of Mormon’s Missing Stories.
Presentations:
- “A Land Choice Above All Other Lands”
President Ezra Taft Benson taught: “The Book of Mormon was written for our day,” and he also taught that within the Book of Mormon we discover not only the blessings associated with this Promised Land, but also the cursings we face if we diverge from the covenants associated with this uniquely blessed Promised Land. We are warned that if we fail to abide by the counsel of the God of the Land, Jesus Christ, and to worship and serve Him, we will reap dire consequences in the latter days. The Book of Mormon presents powerful warnings against the soul-destroying philosophies and precepts that are so highly organized, cleverly disguised, and powerfully promoted in modern America. This presentation will introduce and discuss some of these threats that are destroying our faith and our nation.
2. “The Book of Mormon and Recalibrating the Saints.” President Ezra Taft Benson taught: “The Book of Mormon was written for our day. The Nephites never had the book; neither did the Lamanites of ancient times. It was meant for us. Mormon wrote near the end of the Nephite civilization. Under the inspiration of God, who sees all things from the beginning, he abridged centuries of records, choosing the stories, speeches, and events that would be most helpful to us…. If [the ancient Nephite prophets] saw our day and chose those things which would be of greatest worth to us, is not that how we should study the Book of Mormon? We should constantly ask ourselves, ‘Why did the Lord inspire Mormon (or Moroni or Alma) to include that in his record? What lesson can I learn from that to help me live in this day and age?’” With their prophetic insight, it should not surprise us that these ancient prophets voiced powerful warnings about the threats that would be marshalled against the Saints in this day. By applying the wisdom found within the Book of Mormon, perhaps we may expose the unexpected enemies of the True and Living Gospel, and prepare ourselves to confound their schemes; and unite in our defense of this God-given magnificent “Gospel of Liberty and Peace.” By so doing, perhaps we may better prepare ourselves and our posterity to receive and worship our Savior when He returns.

Jen Brown is President of Utah Citizens for the Constitution. She is what you may call “the new girl on the block”. Come hear her intriguing story of how this organization began and how its influence is felt in over 75% of Utah in a short period of time since being organized in June 2022. Hear also how they are making “Utah Stronger and Safer”
Our motto and mission is to “Teach and Defend” where a small, organized group of people can change the world and Utah. They say they don’t need the masses; they just need you!
We have short, effective and easy “techniques” where in small steps, much can and has been accomplished and everyone can be involved in some way. The title of her talk is “ One Zoom Call a Month and One Text a Week , Makes a Difference in Utah.”
On the first Monday of each month from 9pm to 10pm….you will find individuals and groups huddled around their computers and phones for the once a month “effective and informative” Zoom Call”. Hear the latest on legislative recaps, updates, and coming initiatives that affect your family, city, state and nation. Learn how one text a month can be powerful and produce “Action”. Hear well known speakers take a few minutes each month to cover an Article in the U.S. Constitution. Take a chance to connect with people in your area thru District Impact Chairs. More to learn and do each time !!!
Jen Brown can be found on Capital Hill during legislative sessions making public statements in many committee meetings, and working with legislators to promote all good things related to education, family, voter integrity, federalism, liberty and state’s rights among other topics. For example, State Senator Ken Ivory is an advisor to her in Utah Citizen’s where they work together on issues of Federalism. During the legislative Session this year on Feb. 24th, she made public statements for Ivory’s HB425, an energy bill that came out of committee and was passed into law in the Utah house and Senate. This bill declared Utah sovereignty where we are not going to allow the EPA to have power to shut down our power plants in Utah based on faulty science and with no Constitutional authority. Very important bills with tremendous federalism implications. Jen said, “There is always a lesson to be learn on the attacks against the Constitution.”
Amongst all this, Jen finds her most important calling as a mother and wife. They have five energetic sons — ages nine to seventeen. She finds spare moments to be with them and believes it is important to be home when they arrive home from school so they can tell stories of the day and at times enjoy her home baked cookies. Her husband loves this also. In the evening before bed, they gather for scripture study and prayer. They truly believe and practice that strong families are the basis for a strong community, state and country !!!

Robert Brown- Speaker- Lectures on the Constitution, Field Director for The John Birch Society
April 2023 PresentationRobert Brown served as a Coordinator and Regional Field Director for The John Birch Society, covering Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.
However, he is best known for his lectures on the Constitution. He has produced six of his lectures as a DVD series known as, “The Constitution is the Solution”, which is gaining popularity nation-wide.
After viewing just two of these lectures, a constitutional attorney from New Jersey remarked,
“I studied Constitutional law under one of the most outstanding Constitutional lawyers/law professors in America, and I have learned more from the two DVDs that I saw than I did from the professor.”
He has testified against Constitutional Conventions at many state legislative hearings across the country. He can explain the founder’s intent for the Constitution’s Article V and how the Constitution should be used to rein in the federal government. Mr. Brown and his family reside in Utah. A popular constitutional speaker, he has lectured for many organizations all across the United States.
Since its founding on December 9, 1958, The John Birch Society has worked to carry out its mission to bring about less government, more responsibility, and – with God’s help – a better world by providing leadership, education, and organized volunteer action in accordance with moral and Constitutional principles.

These Charters of Freedom represent what Thomas Jefferson called “the creed of our political faith; the text of civic instruction.”
- The property was Washington’s HQ on September 20th, 1777.
- The farm was owned by the daughter of one of four German immigrants who, appalled that 50% of the English Quakers (including William Pen) owned slaves, penned the 1688 Germantown Petition Against Slavery.
- The 1790 Pew Chart of the Episcopal Church across the lane showed that parishioners still owned slaves (supposedly Pennsylvania was the first state to ban slavery in 1780).
Following three recent presentations in St. George, many people exclaimed in dismay, “Why haven’t we been taught about these things!”

THE Most Important Emergency Preparation of ALL … or Sleeping through the Last Days
We recognize that the world around us is changing and that it is never going back to the way it was. Our new world is a challenge for even the best prepared. Now is our opportunity to prepare and build; to improve our physical, mental, social, and spiritual health.

Learning, testing, and then utilizing these skills is not just a hobby, it is a way of life that allows us to create our own personal informational database of knowledge and wisdom to adapt, survive and even thrive. Some preparations are more important than others. These “Foundational Principles” either enhance or compromise ALL other preparations.
How do you sleep?
Come and explore with us “Sleep” from a physical, mental, and emotional perspective.
The where, when, why and how of “Sleep” are more important than you might understand.

How you “sleep” affects EVERYTHING. Have you overlooked this principle?
Keith’s diverse educational background includes:
EMT Training at Snow College and then extended at Southern Utah University
Extensive Firearms Training at Front-Sight Firearms Training Institute

Presentation April 2022Restoring Liberty: The Battle to Save Our Constitutional Republic
“Sponsored by the Constitution Party of Utah”
Author of: Restoring Liberty: The Battle to Save Our Constitutional Republic
Stephen R. Christiansen (Steve) received his B.A. from the University of Utah and his M.B.A. from Northwestern University. The following 30+ years were spent with his growing family as he worked professionally in various locations in the U.S. and Latin America, including as Managing Director of Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s businesses in Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. Steve recently completed nearly ten years of employment with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he led a talented team of internal strategy consultants engaged in a variety of global transformation projects.
Steve is married to Suzanne Pool Christiansen. Together they have been blessed with four amazing children and ten beautiful grandchildren. Steve’s love of the United States of America and the U.S. Constitution began as a child. His dad was a Major General in the U.S. Army Reserves and possessed a deep love for his country, while Steve’s mother was equally a patriot. Steve’s own passion for liberty, our country, and our remarkable form of government continued to grow as an intern to a former U.S. Senator in Washington, D.C., as a precinct officer, as a county and state delegate, and then as a member of the Utah House of Representatives. Steve recognizes the constitutional crisis in which we find ourselves and is fully committed to giving courageous leadership at this critical juncture in our nation’s history.
Summary of Restoring Liberty Presentation In 2020, Steve Christiansen published Restoring Liberty: The Battle to Save Our Constitutional Republic as part of his re-election campaign to the Utah House of Representatives. Volunteers distributed 12,500 copies of his book to every household in his legislative district. Steve now gives hour-long presentations and free copies of his book to groups of patriots throughout Utah. His Restoring Liberty presentation discusses the founding of our nation and our constitutional republican form of government. The purpose of our Constitution is described through analogy, followed by a review of essential constitutional principles upon which our country and government were established. The importance of each principle is taught by quoting our Founding Fathers, then comparing the original intent of those principles to what we see in our nation today. Steve’s fundamental belief is that we are in the midst of a constitutional crisis, the likes of which our country has never seen, and that only education and determined action on the part of committed patriots will save our nation, Constitution, and individual liberties.

KAMRON COLEMAN Professional Artist: Temple theology
Presentation: Tracking Godhead Symbolism from Antiquity to the Latter-days 
God speaks to His children in their language and their context, so representations of the Godhead in art and doctrine have changed over time. In Temple Theology, the Godhead is a familial council, revealing a world where humankind descends from holy beings, male and female, who created this life as an educative process of refinement that leads back, after trials, alienation and hardship, to the divine presence. Temples ritualize ascensions to higher states of exaltation through the atoning sacrifice of a universal savior, Jesus Christ, and through feminine birthing symbols by the Holy Ghost, that culminate in reunification with our Heavenly Father and the genesis of creation: The Tree of Life. Bridging antiquity and the modern LDS temple, Kamron Coleman’s art teaches the precious doctrines of humanity’s literal kinship to our Creator and our destiny to become co-creators with God forever. BIOGRAPHY
Kamron Coleman (B 1972) began his professional art career as a permanent gallery artist in Washington State in his early twenties. He spent 19 years as a self-employed stonemason, sculptor, fabricator and finisher in many mediums for the construction industry. He secured Utility and Design patents for innovations in construction and wood-fired pizza ovens of his own manufacture. He went on to stand up the sand casting discipline at the world-renowned Walla Walla Foundry, where he pioneered radical metal casting techniques for elements of some of the most expensive contemporary art in the world. Since meeting his wife, harpist Bethany Evans, Kamron moved to the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where he has collaborated directly with symphony executives to create symphony-specific fine art for fundraising. Kamron’s symphony work began in 2017 with his first attempt at oil painting of his life, an oil painting of Salem Symphony. In the first two years, he created more than 15 symphony paintings, including Walla Walla Symphony, Wichita Symphony, Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Newport Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Spokane Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Rogue Valley Symphony, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Nashville Symphony, and more. Kamron’s work has raised thousands of dollars for symphonies in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Kamron’s greatest joy as an artist is to collaborate with symphony directors and musicians, and with people of faith to create and share art of comprehensible beauty, skillful technique, and intellectual depth.

Roger Cook- Refuge and Resilience Expert
2024 Presentation
Thursday April 18, 1215 to 100 PM
Phoenicia in the Land of Zarahemla: The Land of the Spared
Roger Cook’s presentation at the Firm Foundation conference will examine the significance of Zarahemla as a place of refuge throughout history, drawing parallels between ancient narratives of the people of Mulek, the people of Mosiah, the Native American “half breeds,” and the Latter-Day Saint experiences in the land the Lord declared as Zarahemla in Doctrine and Covenants section 125. He will then introduce and close with how the ship Phoenicia has serendipitously found refuge in the land of the Seed of the Spared, as efforts are underway to preserve her legacy.
Roger Cook’s understanding of refuge stems from his upbringing on a small farm in Idaho, where caring for abandoned animals instilled in him a deep appreciation for life, death and the importance of sanctuary. His experiences in Samoa and at the Church College of Western Samoa further shaped his belief in offering refuge to those in need. During his church service in Montana, Roger actively sought out opportunities to teach about finding refuge in the Savior. Throughout his 25 year tenure at Intel Corporation, he consistently provided a sanctuary for those seeking solace from the outside world. This environment was deeply appreciated by others, who attributed its welcoming and professional atmosphere to Roger’s efforts.
The “Seed of the Spared” is a concept that resonates deeply with Roger’s understanding of refuge and resilience. He sees Zarahemla as a symbol of divine providence, where the outcasts from differing cultures in time found sanctuary and flourished. By exploring the historical and spiritual significance of Zarahemla, Roger hopes to inspire others to reflect on their own journeys of providing refuge, seeking refuge, and finding solace in the Savior.

Presentation: How the Book of Mormon inspired me to follow Jesus
My name is Posey Cowart and I’m from Gilbert, Arizona where I grew up A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After becoming a licensed cosmetologist, and attending 2 years of film school, I got married at the age of 19 to Ben Cowart from Savannah Georgia. It wasn’t until I was 30 years old that that I finally read the Book of Mormon for the first time in my entire life! I have been deeply studying the Book of Mormon for the past five years and hold a powerful and strong testimony of the truthfulness of it. I’ve left the world behind and seek to follow the Savior and hope to help others to do so as well. We currently live in Jacksonville, FL where we are raising 6 wonderful children. After having 4 boys, we were blessed with identical twin daughters. We aim to raise our children in righteousness and to follow Jesus Christ in all ways.They girls are absolutely perfect and all the boys are doing great. We have seen the biggest miracles. Ben currently owns his own Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) business. He has 3 machines and so much work coming in. I can’t even tell you how many blessings and miracles we’ve seen to make it all happen. He’s staying very busy. Almost too busy. His work has been unaffected by the “pandemic” and we are just continuing on as usual. After Ben’s mom passed, his dad decided to move in with us. He arrives this week and we look forward to the company. We’re out in the country on 2 beautiful acres. We’ve been raising chickens and hope to get some bunnies soon to add to the dogs, cats and chickens ☺️ We really have no complaints! We’ve been getting together with the LaFontaine’s every so often. What a gift to have them so close to us! Thank you for all that you do!

His courage and strength of conviction are a monument to those who love liberty and eschew servitude. Shawna Cox is a personal friend of Cliven Bundy, the Nevada cattle rancher that stood off a takeover of his family ranch by overzealous government officials in the BLM, who literally lived inside the Bundy Ranch House for over two months as she helped to answer questions and schedule the media.

Dennis Cox- Universal Model Enthusiast
Presentation 2024
Journey of Discovery – The golden threads of the Universal Model – A New Millennial Science
Sat April 20, 10 to 1045 AM
Dennis W Cox, Husband, Father, Grandfather of 35 and one of the greatest proponents and enthusiasts of the Universal Model – A New Millennial Science.
Born in San Diego where his father served in the Navy Dennis was raised in central Utah in a little town called Orangeville, Emery County, Utah. He married his sweetheart Debra and combined two families together.
Dennis was always an adventurer and satisfied his enthusiasm through Scouting. He served for decades in every facet of Scouting but especially in leadership training in an effort to build resilient, confident young men while promoting patriotism and the love for this country we call America.
Like many people he enjoyed geology in High School by actually seeing and touching earth’s formations. However, when he entered the adult world it was filled with theories and much of science no longer resonated with him until… In 2017 when Dean W Sessions launched the Universal Model Volume I to the public at the Book of Mormon Evidence Conference in Orem, Utah.
A Fire was lit at that conference that has burned brightly ever since! Dennis could scarcely believe his ears, that here in his lifetime, science and religion would come together as one, and yet there it was right before his eyes. Few things have had more of a life-changing impact on Dennis than to experience new scientific truths revealed in the Universal Model of the most significant event that has ever happened to Earth since Creation – The Universal Flood!
Since 2017 Dennis has led many field trips in Southern Utah and Nevada with dozens of homeschool families with their children observing and learning of the evidence of the flood at the time of Noah. These field trips led to larger UM gatherings at Logandale Trails, located next to the Valley of Fire, and later in 2020 Dennis organized the largest UM camping field trip held at Kodachrome and Bryce Canyon, where some of the most exciting evidences of the flood are found. At that event nearly 300 UM’ers from seven states gathered as Dean Sessions, Russ Barlow and Dennis took daily field trips to see and learn about these incredible formations.
Dennis and Debra took time out in 2020 to serve a mission at the Seneca Lake Youth Camp just 12 minutes from the Peter Whitmer Farm in upstate New York. They extended and served there a second year for 21/2 years returning this past September.
The next exciting event Dennis is organizing is coming this September 19-21, 2024 where there will be another UM campout. This time it will be in Central Utah, Dennis’s old stomping ground, where UM’ers can gather to see a dinosaur museum, explore dinosaur evidence in the wild, see the majesty of the Little Grand Canyon and nearby fossils, and the towering red sandstone cliffs in Buckhorn Wash which includes a huge beautiful Indian pictograph panel there. Also learn of the history of the Spanish Trail, Butch Cassidy and outlaw gang member Elzy Lay who robbed the Pleasant Valley Coal Company at Castle Gate, Utah. It was a robbery in broad daylight and one of the most audacious hold-ups on the western frontier.

Steven Dennis- Army Veteran, Hebrew Cultural Researcher, Constitutionalist
Presentation April 2023
The United States Flag and its relation to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
Steven Dennis was born on September 17, 1970. He is married and has six children. Being born on the birthday of the Constitution has influenced the way he thinks and believes about United States Constitution. He is a former veteran who served in the Army with the 82nd Airborne, America’s Guard of Honor. Serving with the 82nd Airborne taught him to love and respect this great nation and a profound respect for the United States flag.
While at Ricks College he took a class on the Old Testament and developed a passion of studying Hebrew Culture. He taught himself to read and write Hebrew. Over the course of pursuing his passion he discovered how the Hebrew culture, Jewish holidays and fast days relate to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He has written many topics related to Hebrew enjoys sharing these topics on his podcast, “When Trumpets Fall”. Some of the topics he has studied are as follows:
- The United States flag and how it represents the Atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the Abrahamic Covenant.
- 21st Century, a Century of many Jubilee’s
- How the Book of Daniel prophecies not only of Christ’s atonement but the martyrdom of Joseph Smith
- How Hebrew (Jewish) festivals and holidays play an important role in the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
- Relationships between Hebrew culture, the Mormon Pioneers and The Doctrine Covenants.
- Understanding Hebrew words and numbers, and their relationships to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- How Nephi and the Jews understood the writings of Isaiah and the prophets.
- 17th Tammuz and the 4th of July.
- Martyrdom of Joseph Smith and the last king of Israel.
- 9th of AV, the Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage and the breaching of America’s wall.
- 1 Tishrei and the Golden Plates.
- Passover and the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Passover, the Feast of Trumpets and their relationship to Jesus Christ’s first and second coming.
- The great governor Lachoneus and our day.
The United States Flag and its relation to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
The United States flag represents more than freedom, our republic and way of life. It has a spiritual application that represents the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Book of Mormon reveals to us the importance of America. Jesus Christ after his resurrection appeared to the Nephite people and taught them many things. One of these is found in 3 Nephi Chapter 21 when Christ reveals to them two signs when he has begun to gather scattered Israel. These two signs happened on Hebrew holidays and have played a major roll in the establishment of America and the restoration of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Title: Mormon Witnesses of Jesus Christ- YouTube Channel
Since I am not a person of any renown, have nobody to write a bio for me and also feel uncomfortable writing about myself in the third person, I’ll just share with you in the first person if that’s OK. 🙂
I’m the founder of the Mormon Witnesses of Jesus Christ Channel. It’s an online format for
Latter-day Saints to have a safe, effective place to share their personal, heartfelt video witness of Jesus Christ with the world— outside of their personal social media accounts.
Why you might ask? So that the world may know unequivocally and without question that we believe in, trust in and in fact know that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind, and the only name under heaven whereby we may be saved.
The purpose of the channel is to counteract the many false reports that Mormon’s are not
Christians. It’s a safe format for members of the church to send their friends and family to watch their personal, heartfelt witness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It’s also a tool for giving an answer to those who ask for the reason of the hope that lies within us— as the Apostle Peter said. It can also aid us in keeping our covenant to stand as witnesses of God at all times, in all things and in all places. And finally, it can serve as a wonderful legacy to leave our family and loved ones.
I was born the 4th of 6 children in Brooklyn NY to a 100% Italian angel mother and a 100% Croatian goodhearted father, and therefore consider myself a pure halfbreed. 😉 I was the youngest of four siblings for about eight years before two more babies came along and stole the show… but I’m adjusting ;-).
I was raised on Long Island New York (pronounced Lawn-Guyland), and during my early to late teens I felt an inexplicable and indescribable void inside that caused me to search high and low for the meaning and purpose of life. Something inside of me told me that there HAD to be more meaning and purpose than I saw. I searched everywhere and in everything I could get my hands on, except God and Christianity, because the Christians I knew— although they spoke the most about love and acceptance— were the most unloving and judgmental people I had met.
Nevertheless, through the grace of an all-knowing God who knew the desires of my heart, and in answer to my unspoken prayer, at age 21 I finally found the purpose of life in God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ through a number of— what may rightly be called— miracles. I went on to experience the best two years of my life in the California Oakland mission from 1985-87, have served in various callings throughout my church life, and by far the most profound of which was as an ordinance worker in the temple of our God.
All of that really means nothing, and I frankly admit that I am nobody and nothing— at least without God. 🙂
Just someone who has been encircled about in the arms of God’s love and feels the need to share that with the world. I believe that the Mormon Witnesses of Jesus Christ channel may give Latter-day Saints a safe and effective place to counteract the false reports that Mormon’s are not Christians, help us fulfill our divine commission to stand as witnesses of Jesus Christ, and may ultimately bring souls unto Him who heals all wounds, dries every tear, and saves us from spiritual and physical death.

Shawna Draper is the author of three books; My Tears Fall Inside, The Silent Cries, and Hear My Cry: Writings From My Soul in which she shares her miraculous journey from a childhood of horrific abuse to one of healing. Although she suffered from sexual and satanic ritual abuse, her story is filled with the Spirit of God as she does not share details of that horror but rather how God directed her healing. Her uplifting message blends with the mantra of “To the Rescue” as her story focuses on the wonderful Christian neighbors and friends who reached out to her and helped her to learn that it was possible for others to actually love her.

Fri Oct 21, 2022 Presentation: 10-10:45 amFighting for Liberty
Cassie Easley spent her childhood living in cities near Naval Bases. Her dad is a retired Navy Veteran and she knows first-hand what the families are going through while their loved ones are serving. This gave her a deep respect for the military and a passion for freedom. Nineteen years ago she moved to Utah with her children. As a single mom she worked as a Deputy Recorder for Iron County during the day and at the TA truck stop in food service at night. Working 2 jobs was difficult, but she made time to coach little league, basketball and soccer. It was important to her to be involved in what her kids were doing. She accepted the manager position at TA, gave notice at the county and moved to Rawlins, WY, for a year and a half, where she was injured at work and I came back home to Utah.
Fighting for Liberty
Cassie’s Fighting for Liberty presentation will review what liberty is. She will discuss how our founding fathers fought to gain liberty for themselves and the legacy of liberty through the Constitution. She’ll talk about how the battle continues today and what we need to do to keep those liberties for ourselves, and leave the legacy of liberty to our children and grandchildren.
Susan Edwards Oil painter, Singer and Songwriter
Presentations:
Susan Edwards is an oil painter, singer and songwriter. She says that because her brain has gotten foggy over the decades, the only way she knows how to truly communicate her love of God and His Son Jesus Christ and their love for us is through her paintings and music. Susan’s experience includes working on a commercial series of paintings entitled “The Rising Generation.” That series depicted the love of Jesus for his little ones, temple marriage, planning for missions, etc. These pictures successfully sold worldwide for over 10 years. 
Several years ago, Susan was invited to be part of a temple-mural painting team. She helped paint the endowment room murals for the Kona, Hawaii; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Meridian, Idaho and Fiji temples. Susan was one of the artists who helped create the baptistry mural in the Provo City Center Temple as well as a large painting in the Idaho Falls Temple. Recently, she was commissioned to paint a painting for last month’s December, 2018 New Era. It was a painting about Gabriel announcing to Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ. Susan paints her testimony of the things that she has learned through the hard knocks of life. And, as part of that creative process, she also writes songs to go along with most of her paintings, which she can then share with others through her singing. Her favorite mantra is, “Trust God in ALL things, including this!” And she says that, when things don’t go the way that she thinks that they should (which is most of the time), she asks God to show her the silver linings. And He does. Art and music have been vehicles enabling Susan to draw closer to Heaven. Her husband, David, her partner in “rhyme,” co-creates with her the music and lyrics to each song. They look forward to sharing with you at this Expo.

What it means to have like-minded neighbors. About Philip and “Operation Self-Reliance”: On a bitter cold night, as a young father, Philip found himself unable to keep his 3 baby girls warm, give them a meal, or even a drink of water. This experience set him on a course to understand and determine what it meant to “prepare every needful thing”. Helping families transition from a lifestyle of dependency on cities for food, water, and power to a country culture of self-reliance is his passion. This is accomplished by providing a pathway to a homestead on 2-acres and more, with a passive solar home, a barn, a greenhouse, a garden/orchard, water and approved sanitation, while not being connected to any public utilities, surrounded by like-minded neighbors, and remaining debt free. His decades as a building contractor and land developer with a passion for greenhouses and sustainable food production has led him to the creation of “Operation Self-Reliance”, a 4-step pathway to preparing every needful thing.
- Identifying like-minded people and essential resources and networking them
- Making available the knowledge & skills needed to be self-reliant
- Qualifying plans to make the transition to self-reliance and establishing agricultural cooperatives
- Providing opportunities to help and support OSR (Operations Self-Reliance)
Philip’s invitation to come and explore solutions that overcome the barriers in becoming truly self-reliant is extended to all that are willing. Related websites: OSRCommunity.com AcademyOSR.com The Academy’s Facebook page The Academy’s public Facebook Group

What have we gained from over one hundred years of feminism? Women have acquired the right to vote and much better treatment before the law. We’ve come far but we’ve traded our feminine identity, the core of our personal power. Women no longer appreciate the power of feminine influence, and it’s felt in the weakening of men, family, community, and nations. How did we go from women united for legal rights, to women united against men, family, and the rights of our unborn children?
The first feminists stood up for women. Today’s feminists can’t even define one. In my speech, I am going to teach you about feminine power, how it contrasts with modern feminism, and how feminine women are the lynchpin of civilization.
Thurs: We NEED Masculine Men
Civilization is collapsing around the world, and it’s getting worse every day. You see it constantly on the news and you’re wondering why all this is happening and what can be done about it. If you’re a woman, especially if you care for a family, you may feel particularly vulnerable. And it sometimes seems like there are fewer real men around. This is because masculinity has been under assault for decades, and the onslaught is frankly working. This erosion of natural and noble masculinity is one of the major reasons societies are collapsing before our eyes. Men are being systematically weakened through a reengineering of the term “masculinity”, attempting to replace our essential builders, protectors, and organizers of civilization with equivocating, anxious, and untethered individuals with no communal or familial identity.
My talk will explain what masculinity is and ought to be, how masculinity is being undermined, why society depends on real men, and what we can do about it.

Understanding Truth by Demonstrating True Science – Seeing the Universal Model in Action
Jay first learned of the UM on one of Rod’s Book of Mormon tours in 2014. True science has always been a passion of his and so this introduction to the UM was a most memorable and life changing experience. Since then he has studied all about the UM, been on three UM Geotours, and attended numerous lectures. Jay is an overambitious life enthusiast. From telescopes to microscopes he has had an intimate connection with the natural world. His training in the military as an Environmental Specialist became a springboard of a life-long career in water treatment. This has taken him from wastewater ‘bio-towers’ in Montana to making drinking water out of ‘tundra tea’ north of the Arctic Circle. Seeing the dazzling auroras there put him on a quest to understand more about them. Later, upon returning to Utah, he treated contaminated groundwater at Kennecott.
Here he studied and observed firsthand various bioremediation and environmental restoration projects. Initially Jay pursued a geology degree at the U of U. Though he has attended many colleges in the various places he has lived, he has preferred self-styled, hands-on learning… and has over a 1000 books in his library. No, he doesn’t have a dogmatic-type diploma; he has career-credentials and many professional certificates. He has been involved in many civil, industrial and environmental engineering projects. His favorite assignments have been in labs where he’s grown microbial cultures, identified numerous species of protozoa and algae, and operated complex lab equipment like an atomic absorption mass spectrometer. His adventures include rock climbing, diving, rappelling into caves, eclipse chasing, rocketeering, sleeping in snow caves, telescope building, and ‘Wintersticking’ before it evolved into snowboarding.
Kay is a graduate of Brigham Young University.The Tour Director & Boy Scout Leader Kay has been conducting domestic Church History tours for Morris Murdock since 1995. He also takes groups to Israel and European destinations. He speaks Hebrew and his wife is fluent in French.

This is the topic of his presentation at this conference; he is excited to share the great amount of structures he has discovered and how he has learned that both Nephi and Jacob did not record anything upon the plates save they were in Hebraic style.
Sasha Grove Presenter, Home Schooling Mother, Patriot
Presentations Kairos Generations – How the Book of Mormon Reveals the Own Due Time of the Lord
My presentation shows that the Book of Mormon proves the truth of the Bible (and vice versa) and pinpoints the specific time period in which the Lord does his mightiest works by the language, symbolism and genealogies contained in scripture.
Sasha Grove is a dynamic teacher and presenter, home schooling mother, Patriot, Truth seeker, and Sister Scriptorian. Her unquenchable thirst for knowledge has led to exciting opportunities to share gospel insights in events and firesides with youth and adults. She thrives on living in the last days and being the catalyst in other’s faith journey.
Sasha is a Wellness Advocate with doTERRA essential oils, certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and blogger at Freedomspark.net, where she writes about liberty, natural health, motherhood, and latter-day living. She is the wife of Bryan, mother to eight children, and GeeGee to three perfect grandsons.
“This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” The words of the Lord sparked two millennia of deciphering the details of His return in glory. The day or the hour no man knoweth, but the generation that will experience it is clearly made known throughout the Old and New Testaments and confirmed in the Book of Mormon. Evidence of the exact generation appears in the genealogies of prophets and kings, in the Greek and Hebrew scriptures, and in Book of Mormon events which parallel American history. Not only do these patterns testify of Christ and the truth of His word, they declare the role we must play in the winding up scenes that will usher in the second coming of the Savior.
In Kairos Generations you’ll discover:
· How and why the Lord marks the generations of mankind
· The meaning of “the own due time of the Lord”
· The Lord’s covenant with Israel revealed in ancient and modern genealogies
· Another witness that the Book of Mormon is truly ancient Hebrew scripture
· Compelling evidence that you and your children will be part of the final events before the Saviors return AND
· Scriptural patterns that reveal your role in exciting latter-day events

Ziff, Magic Goggles and Golden Plates
Etymology of Zyf
The identification of the mysterious material ziff from the Book of Mormon was a mystery from the time of the initial publication of the Book of Mormon until now. Finally, the linguistic and metallurgical meaning of ziff has been determined. Jerry Grover, a professional civil engineer, geologist, and translator has been able to determine the ancient term for ziff and to define its meaning, both anciently in the Old World and the correlation of its contextual use with regards to King Noah in the Book of Mormon. In addition, a detailed metallurgical analysis of the material and techniques used to construct the Book of Mormon plates has also been completed and will be briefly discussed.

April 2023 Presentation:Testimony: Growing Your Garden
Here’s a description of my talk. In late fall 2020, I started working on a podcast to unite my fellow Native American and First Nations brothers and sisters with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The purpose is not a social-movement platform, not a political platform, and not a place to air grievances. The purpose is solely to strengthen testimonies and share the Light of Jesus Christ. It is my hope to help align personal traditional beliefs, customs, and cultures with the Gospel of Jesus Christ one interview at a time. Through this project, I have found additional purposes. One is a gathering of those who sometimes have felt removed from their tribal identity because they joined or were raised as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Another is teaching those who are open to learn from the words of living Native Americans how their tribal identity does make them look at the Gospel through a different lens.In this presentation, I will share with you the making of my podcast. You will hear some of my favorite stories and moments. And you will hear about my podcast as a weekly offering to the Lord.Tribe of Testimonies Andrea Hales
The Book of Mormon, a scripture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, describes two peoples: Lamanites and Nephites. After a last great battle, the Nephites were destroyed from the face of the earth. The remnants of the Lamanites are among the ancestors of today’s North American Native Americans. Andrea Hales (Navajo), the host of Tribe of Testimonies, interviews faithful Native American Latter-day Saints of tribes across the U.S. to learn how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has influenced their lives. Everyone’s story is different—conversions, families, missions, educations, careers, talents, achievements, failures, trials. As we share our stories, maybe we can strengthen each other. May we all walk in beauty. // This podcast is not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, we support the Church. For further information on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please visit ComeUntoChrist.org. Andrea, “In God We Trust”
Now she is working on a podcast called Tribe of Testimonies. Each week is a new conversation with a faithful Native American member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where they testify of the Savior and of their identity. Andrea is married to Mark and mother to four children (Zach, Emma, Quinton, and Valene). She has three degrees from BYU. She volunteers in her community in large and small efforts. She just launched a class with neighborhood ladies to study the US History and Constitution. And she has a heart full of gratitude to her Father in Heaven and Savior, Jesus Christ, for an amazing life.
Presentation April 2023 From Nephi’s reference to his “goodly parents”, to the instructions of King Mosiah and Chief Judge Alma the Younger to their respective children, to the action of the parents of the 2000 Stripling Warriors, the Book of Mormon provides a message to all parents, which will be reviewed in discuss in this presentation.
Bio
In 1997, when Mark was a sophomore at Rick’s College, he wrote a paper called “Seeking Cumorah” that concluded that the Book of Mormon took place in America. He resubmitted the same paper a few more times while at BYU and presented his findings at the conclusion of his senior year at a student conference. Mark then attended BYU law school and found additional evidence of the truth of the people within Book of Mormon, including in the laws that the people followed
Mark is married to Andrea and is the father of 4. He is a practicing lawyer (forgive him), volunteer justice court judge, and a member of the Bluffdale City Council.

BIO
I grew up in Orem, Utah, attended BYU and got married before I graduated. I had six children and was a stay at home mom until my youngest turned nine. I went back to school graduating three times in 5 years and earned my MSW. I worked for 10 years in Hospice and 4+ years testing and diagnosing children on the autism spectrum. During that time, I learned and practiced energy healing with EFT, Emotion Code/Body Code and light therapy.
I also attended many classes through the years, some from the teachers in this conference. I fermented veggies with Angie Christensen, study master herbalism with Dr. Patrick Jones, learned about Joseph Smith/church history/book of Mormon etc. from James and Hannah Stoddard, and I even went snow camping with Jim Phillips using handmade snow gear. This would have been a good year for that. My passions are physical, emotional and spiritual preparedness and well-being.
Ridge Hartley–Entrepreneur, Heartland Missionary, Patriot
Oct 2022 Presentation:
“I Absolutely Love the Heartland”
Ridge grew up in Kaysville, Utah and graduated from Davis High in 1986. He is grateful to his amazing parents, Jerry and Patty Hartley, who helped him gain a powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon, the Prophet Joseph Smith, and the restoration of the Gospel.
The greatest Prophet, Joseph Smith has been a hero to him since he was a young boy. Mr. Hartley served a full-time mission to Raleigh North Carolina from 1987 to 1989. He graduated from Weber State in 1992. Mr. Hartley has enjoyed doing missionary work ever since his full-time mission.
Mr. Hartley has been in the financial planning and venture capital business for many years. He and his partner Pat enjoy raising capital for amazing companies.
He has three fabulous children who he enjoys spending quality time with. He was recently remarried in the Bountiful Temple to Niki, who is a great blessing in his life. His hobbies include, playing and watching sports, fishing, and hunting.
Mr. Hartley was very blessed to meet Rod Meldrum about 10 years ago. Ridge was at Desert Book and excited when he saw Rod’s book titled “Exploring the Book of Mormon in America’s Heartland.” He noticed an insert in the book that was telling people to not read this book and was a dishonest book, and that really upset Ridge. He called the phone number in the book and spoke to Rod to tell him what was happening. They eventually found the Salt Lake Attorney responsible, but Rod didn’t try and get back at him. And Ridge, has thanked that attorney ever since, as his careless act has truly motivated Ridge to share Rod’s book with the world. Ridge is on fire with spreading the Heartland message and has given away at least 500 books or more since this time. Ridge also supports others who promote the Book of Mormon in the Heartland including Wayne May, Jonathan Neville, Val Bagley, Steve Smoot, and Rian Nelson. Mr. Hartley says sharing this additional information makes doing missionary work, more fun than he has ever had.
Mr. Hartley was instrumental in working with a business acquaintance named Cynthia Tsai and with longtime friend of many of our current Apostles, Mr. Hal Jensen, in making it possible for the Prophet Russell M. Nelson to be invited to the 2018, 4th International Vatican Conference “Unite to Cure”. President Nelson was unable to attend since just becoming the Prophet, so he had Elder Dale G. Renlund attend and speak in his place. Elder Renlund had the opportunity to share his Gospel and medical message to millions of people all over the world. What a blessing. Ridge will speak more about that in his presentation at the FIRM Foundation.
In the picture to the right is Hal Jensen, Monsignor Tomasz Trafny who serves as head of the Science and Faith Department of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Culture, Robin L. Smith MD MBA, Pres Russell M. Nelson, Cynthia Ekberg Tsai, the CEO of Healthquest, a company known as a prominent global biotechnology and medical technologies advisory firm, and is adept in providing insights and seed funding to rising entrepreneurs, Pat Hanley, Ridges’ business partner, and Ridge Hartley. Information here: https://vaticanconference2018.com/
Ridge appreciates the Heartland group for bringing forth the correct information of what Joseph Smith and other prophets have taught about the United States being the Covenant Nation, where God brought the Jaredites, Nephites and Mulekites for their inheritance.
His deep belief is, that as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we can and should do so much more in sharing the Gospel message to the world. When we teach and share what the Prophet Joseph taught about the true Book of Mormon Geography, and proper method of translation called “Interpreters”, which included the breastplate and two stones in a silver bow, we can all better understand the spirit of truth received from reading that wonderful book.

Mark Higbee Software Developer, Author
April 2024 Presentation:
Fri April 19th, 1215 to 1 PM
Isaiah’s way of Holiness, the Covenant of the Book of Mormon.
www.zendreochronicles.com Mark Higbee is a software developer turned part time author who recently finished his first novel. He grew up playing sports and still enjoys playing ice hockey once a week in Provo, Utah at the age of 46. His currently lives in Saratoga Springs, Utah with his wife and four cats. He loves boating, camping, hiking and visiting national parks. His goal as an author is to do more than just tell good stories. He wants to make a difference in the lives of the readers. 
“Books are the building blocks of civilization, for without the written word, a man knows nothing beyond what occurs during his own brief years… A parent or a teacher has only his lifetime, a good book can teach forever.” – Louis L’Amour (Over 300 million books printed)
My mom (Vachele Higbee) goes to every Book of Mormon Expo, and recently she finished reading my book. She got so excited that she convinced me that I need to share it with everyone at the expo. “At Thanksgiving Mark announced a surprise! He said that his book was done and asked the family if they wanted to read it, and to give him feedback. I had never read a science fiction book, and I couldn’t remember reading a novel since I was a teenager, but I wanted to read his book. I discovered so many wonderful teachings encoded in his book, such as having faith, and standing up for the right, keeping promises, courage, determination, life after death, a creator and worlds populated without number where all of the people look the same, the value of friendship, and that people can change, the importance of serving others, and the power of a father’s love for his child. I noticed that the main character didn’t ever give up! As I read I felt uplifted, and stronger and stronger.” –Vachele Higbee
Vachele Higbee Author, Writer, Owner Lantern House Books
Presentation: How The Book of Mormon Came To Be
Vachele grew up on a farm in the mountains of Mink Creek, Idaho about 17 miles northeast of Preston, which is just north of Logan, Utah. Vachele’s parents taught her to work hard, and her father encouraged her to write. Vachele attended BYU, where she met Jay Higbee. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple. They have 7 children, 19 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson. Vachele loves to compile and write books. She is a published author. Miracles in American History – Stories Of This Land From The Time Of Adam was published by Digital Legend in 2014. See www.digitalegend.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=251.
Vachele has 52 interesting books and DVDs on her website, Lantern House Books. They are available at www.lanternhousebooks.com. Vachele has compiled 29 family history books, 12 of which are large and hardbound. Jay and Vachele have sold over 2000 family history books to relatives. Out of the 53 books that she has created, 17 of them are written for youth and children. Vachele’s goal is to strengthen them, and everyone else, with her books. Besides writing, Vachele loves to play the organ. She also loves to visit with friends and family, and play with her young grandchildren. A favorite pastime of the Higbees is watching Book of Mormon Evidence, and other educational DVDs. Come listen to Vachele as she shares ideas on teaching children values and principles from the story of how The Book of Mormon came to be. She will be sharing a story from her most recent book, The Gold Plates, and will identify six different principles that children can learn from this one story. Hear how one man tried to get into a fist fight with the Prophet Joseph Smith because he didn’t want to stop printing pages illegally from The Book of Mormon.
If you are looking for something your children or grandchildren can do on Sundays, you might be interested in some of Vachele’s books. “I am a direct descendant of Martin Harris, so I have a keen interest in encouraging our youth to read The Book of Mormon. As a grandparent, I can think of no better gift. We need their heroes to become Book of Mormon and early Church heroes, instead of current celebrities. Most books on the market for gospel study of The Book of Mormon are written for adults, or they are in storybook form for very young children. Very few books are available for older elementary school-age children and young teenagers, as well as for adults. The Gold Plates fills that void. I was fascinated, due to it being so concise, and to the point, with excellent attention to historical detail.” – Kent Linford (Harris) Pickering
Wayne Hill: Candidate for LT Governor Utah Independent Party
Wayne Hill: Born in Ogden, graduated from Bonneville HS and Weber State University. Veteran, 7 years Reserves and National Guard. Wayne co-founded the Independent Party in 1992. The IAP goal is to save the Constitution and Liberty. He ran for Utah County Commissioner, and U.S. Congress as an Independent. He is a Hearing Aid Specialist and has owned businesses in the private sector. Wayne believes the Constitution is inspired and is a Covenant. He believes our current Governor and Lt. Governor have violated their Oaths and our liberties by their response to Covid. Their actions should disqualify them from holding any office. Wayne believes abortion is unconstitutional, it deprives the basic right of “Life,” and no God-fearing or Constitutional person should vote for anyone who professes abortion. The Independent American Party is very Pro-Life and many see the solution is adoption. Recently, a 10-year-old boy said he wanted to be adopted on TV and had 500 interested people agree. Many in the IAP support President Trump. Wayne believes by voting for Duerden/Hill, you are voting to stop the spread of Covid and its lies, thus upholding the Constitution and its truths.

David R. Hocking President, Beacon Light Books, LLC.
April 2023 Presentations:
1- Main Hall Presentation:
The Annotated Edition of the New Testament – The Joseph Smith Translation
2- Presentation
“When the Times of the Gentiles are Fulfilled” and “An Introduction to the Annotated Edition of the Five Books of Moses – Joseph Smith Translation”
David Hocking is the Managing Editor of the Annotated Editions of the Book of Mormon, Isaiah, Enoch, Jasher and the newly released Joseph Smith Translation New Testament of Jesus Christ that can be used for next year’s 2023 Come Follow Me course. The Annotated Edition books have a unique text formatting that provides enhanced reader comprehension and includes numerous insights from varied theologians, academics and latter-day prophets and apostles.
The Annotated Edition of the New Testament – The Joseph Smith Translation
“The rise of the Church of Christ in these last days, being one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh, it being regularly organized and established agreeable to the laws of our country, by the will and commandments of God, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April” (D&C 20:1; soon after Tuesday, April 6, 1830).
The 2023 Come Follow Me course of study is on the New Testament. Today, April 6, 2023, on Jesus Christ’s birthday, Brother Hocking will honor His life and ministry by reviewing the importance on why the Joseph Smith Translation is essential in understanding the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles and the book of Revelation as the Prophet corrects in those books many of the “interpolations by the hands of men” (D&C 91:2). The presentation focuses on the timing of Joseph’s effort, which he called “a branch of my calling,” and the importance the Lord placed on it when completed on July 2, 1833, to “publish the new translation of My holy word unto the inhabitants of the earth” (D&C 124:89).
Second Talk:
A brief overview of the contents of the Annotated Edition of the Five Books of Moses – The JST Translation, available this Fall 2023, will be highlighted to conclude the presentation.

April 2024 Presentations:
Thurs April 18, 12:15 to 1 pm
“The Forging of Amulek”
Sat April 20, 6:30 to 7:15 pm
“Extreme Ownership”
M.D. (Mike) House semi-retired from a successful career in Corporate Finance and Business Leadership in late 2020. While most of that time was spent in the Midwest of the United States—primarily in the Chicago area—he traveled to many parts of world as he supported design, production, marketing and selling of large manufactured products like Ford vehicles, International trucks, and Sullair-branded industrial air compressors.
He also did a stint in Reno, Nevada working for a gold mining company, and has been deep inside an underground mine in South America. Interesting experience.
Since semi-retiring, he and his wife have lived in Cache Valley, in northern Utah, and love it there. Mike is not from Utah (though he was born there), but his mother hails from nearby Weston, ID. He has driven by Glenn Beck’s ranch entrance several times, wondering if he’ll ever get to see over the hill.
A natural teacher and storyteller, Mike has been able to take full advantage of his semi-retirement by engaging in his love for fiction writing. He started many years ago with some science fiction, but has since expanded into Biblical and Book of Mormon historical fiction, and also fantasy.
Adding his keen interests in economics and politics to life-sustaining faith, he aims to make a positive impact on the world with powerful stories of people both real and imagined. He doesn’t expect to ever match “the greatest short story ever told” (Jesus’s Parable of the Prodigal Son), but he’ll continue to do his best.
As of September 2023, he has eight books in print and ebook, with many in audiobook format as well (three of which are narrated by the inimitable Kirby Heyborne).

Shawn Hugh- Master Instructor / Motivational Speaker / Investor / Father of Five
April 2024 Presentation:The Prophetic Poetic Answer by Brother Joseph
Shawn Hugh was born in Sacramento California. In 1996 while living in Sacramento, when he was 16 years old he didn’t belong to any specific church, nor attend any. With the patience and love of one his neighbors, Randy Tew over the course of several years prior, he converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was baptized at the age of 16 with his Father, who happened to be an “anti-Mormon” at the time.
After joining the Church, he was strong in the new faith, but some lingering doubts crept in about Joseph Smith. He prayed to know the truth, and wanted to know that Joseph Smith was an inspired Prophet and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and not a work of man. So he started to study and prove as James 1:5 stated: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” Continual and consistent studying has helped him to find, over the years, that without a doubt Joseph Smith Jr. was truly a prophet of the Lord, and that the Book of Mormon was written by prophets on the American continent, compiled by the prophet Mormon and his son Moroni, and translated by the gift and power of God that has given us plain and precious truths. His testimony, hope and faith is now, as the Book of Mormon prophet Jacob said, ‘UNSHAKEN’ (cf. Jacob 4:6).
Shawn honorably served his 2-year full-time mission in Arequipa Peru. He has one beautiful wife and 5 brilliant children (2 boys & 3 girls) He Graduated from LDSBC in 2003 where he met his wife. He has done many things over the years including serving in the Navy, owned his own Martial Arts business from 2008-2020 until (according to the government) he became “unessential” and had to shut down his business. Shawn’s mantra is that The Lord will provide when one door closes another opens, Shawn started on the Joseph Smith Translation of the New Testament in the Spring of 2021 to bring this “Inspired Version” for his own personal use and for an accurate and complete version that could be used as he studied the New Testament. He wrote ‘word-by-word’ every word in the New Testament and from the Manuscripts, and in the process, the Lord miraculously brought into his path the Managing Editor who had been working on his own annotated version of the New Testament that he started in the late 1990’s.
The collaboration has produced this beautifully re-formatted colorized text which includes artwork by master painters along with numerous “Insights” from varied theologians, prophets, apostles and academics. By so doing Shawn has deepened his love and faith in our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, His life and teachings, and reaffirmed his love and reverence for the New Testament as has been revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr.
Hobbies: Drawing, sculpting, woodworking, sports of all kinds (friendly & competitive), and Reading (favorite author is Orson Scott Card and Charles Dickens) Favorite music: Classical ( Handel, Mozart, Chopin), Rock & Roll (especially the Beatles) Favorite food: Any and all (I like to try new things and I LOVE good food!) Favorite sport: That’s easy, Taekwondo!!! (he is a 6th degree Black belt) And then Mountain Biking, & Swimming (I used to play Water Polo), and Hiking in the mountains, 2015, 2016, & 2017 I did X-Terra off road triathlon and loved the challenge. 2018 & 2019 Spartan Beast Challenge Very Respectfully, Shawn Hugh

From the Book of Mormon until today… the Enemies of God are all Cut from the same Cloth!
The KSL and Tribune buildings are in a race to the sky like the Chrysler brothers building and Rockefellers Empire State Building back in the day. Whoever wins doesn’t matter, we lose!
Porter Rockwell Project [PRP]
People of the Pew PRP may have little faults, but their desire to become a “People of the Pew” who stand up for the Church as faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, motivates them to do the will of God. We will be relentless in opposing evil.
“A faithful Mormon to the end of his life despite his no-nonsense demeanor and shady past, Porter Rockwell was a faithful member of the Church until the day he died. He was one of the first members of the Church, baptized in the June of 1830 just a few months after the Church was organized. Later in his life, he was ordained as a member of the Seventy and held the position throughout his life. Amidst the slander and accusations stirred up by his sudden death on June 9, 1878, President Joseph F. Smith praised Porter Rockwell in his eulogy, saying, “They say he was a murderer; if he was he was the friend of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and he was faithful to them, and to his covenants, and he has gone to Heaven . . . clothed with immortality and eternal life, and crowned with all glory which belongs to a departed saint.” Porter Rockwell the “Destroying Angel” by Lawrence Cummings
The Porter Rockwell Project-PRP See Blog Here
In 2002 Mr. Hughes was elected to the Utah House of Representatives where he served as the Chairman of the House Education Committee, House Majority Whip, and was twice elected by colleagues be the Speaker of the House. He retired from the Legislature at the end his term in 2018. During his time in the Legislature, he was champion of fiscally conservative policies, government reform, and protecting our veterans. Greg worked extensively on issues that created an environment for businesses to thrive and jobs to be created. As Speaker, he led the charge to increase education funding to historic levels while also cutting taxes.
Named the 2015 “Utahn of the Year” by the Salt Lake Tribune, Hughes is best known for his determination to get things done and his ability to bring opposing sides together solve controversial issues such as medical cannabis, moving the state prison, justice reform, developing the inland port, and protecting religious freedom while opposing discrimination. Recently, Greg finished third place out of eight candidates competing for the Republican nomination for governor. Currently he manages a public policy and government relations consulting firm and has weekly media appearances on KNRS radio and as a co-host of Take Two on Utah’s CBS affiliate KUTV, and leads a new movement called, The Porter Rockwell Project-PRP.

While preparing to serve a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, his life took a sudden turn when he was drafted into the United States Army. He trained with Special Forces before being sent to Viet Nam where he served with an Airborne Ranger company. He served with the Army in Viet Nam, the United States, and Germany as a medic, a Ranger Scout, a weapons and demolitions expert, and a Range Safety Officer for a NATO training area. Ski was awarded several medals, most notably the Combat Infantry Badge (CIB) and the Bronze Star. After leaving the regular Army, Ski attended Officer Candidate School and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Reserves where he served for several years with 12th Special Forces Group.
Ski returned to southern California, married his wife Diane, and raised four children. After the military, he worked for 22 years as a police officer for the Long Beach Police Department. Again, it was his love for country and his fellowman that prompted this career choice, which brought him great satisfaction. He worked in law enforcement as a patrol officer, a training officer, a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) and DRE instructor, a Narcotics enforcement officer, and an undercover Vice detective. Ski received his degree in Criminal Justice and had numerous specialized training courses during his career in law enforcement. Ski was medically retired in 2004 after receiving a career-ending injury.
Ski was very involved in Boy Scouting throughout his life. He has been a Scoutmaster on two different occasions and held many positions on the District Committee, including District Chairman and Wood Badge Course, Director (Scoutmaster). He has been awarded Scoutmaster of the Year and the Silver Beaver award.
After retiring from police work, Ski moved his family to St. George Utah and opened his own private detective agency called Code 5 Enterprises LLC. He was appointed by Governor Gary Herbert to the state’s Bureau of Criminal Identification overseeing the licensing of private investigators in the state.
Ski has been very active in the veterans community in Utah. He was the Adjutant for American Legion Post 90 in St. George, representing the Post by leading several community events. Ski was appointed by the Mayor of St. George, John Pike, to the city’s Veterans Advisory Board. Ski is a life member of five different Veteran Service Organizations and is a Patriot member of the NRA.
While in St. George Ski began writing an opinion piece called “A Veterans Thoughts” each month for the local newspaper. He has also been published in Public Square Magazine and Meridian Magazine.
Ski and his wife now live in Gilbert, Arizona where they are both active in their Ward. They both have had many callings in the wards and stakes where they have resided.

Presentation Sacred Stones of the Patriarch Adam, Noah, Abraham, Mahonri, Joseph Smith and more.
Scattered along the sparkling river of history are various stones with seemingly “magical” powers. Stones that provide direction, protection, and translation; stones that shine like the sun, heal infirmities, and even unlock the mysteries like the all-seeing eye of our Heavenly Father. Join us for a glimpse into the spiritual life of items directed by the hand of God to enliven the soul and enlighten the mind of man. Utahna Jessop is a writer, field representative and copy editor for Ancient American Magazine, and a trustee for the Ancient Historical Research Foundation.

Jay R. Johnson- Jay takes his oath to defend the US and Utah Constitutions seriously 
Presentations Oct 2022:
Moral Society’s liberties vs Immoral societies and tyranny.
Klaus Schwab-The Great Reset and your Personal Agency.
Jay R. Johnson was born and raised in Cache Valley. He is a graduate of Utah State University and is employed at Hill Air Force Base working in the information technology field. Jay served a mission in Paris, France and has served in many church callings with teaching gospel doctrine as his favorite calling because it allows him to study and study and study and learn, learn, learn. Jay encompasses a “Liberty Ethos” mindset for our gift of agency in this life. He is an activist and student of all things liberty, Constitution, US history, Reformation history and the proper role of government. He loves the Reformation as it ties to the pilgrims (the founding fathers of the founding fathers), and the founding fathers, and then sets up for the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in America. Jay is an elected trustee of the North View Fire District Board representing North Ogden City and is also member of the great liberty organization Defending Utah. Jay has served as a county and state delegate and is active in local government. Jay takes his oath to defend the US and Utah Constitutions seriously and figures everyone who has taken an oath to the Constitution ought to do the same. One of his favorite liberty exercises is to use the New American Magazine Freedom Index to show the scores of the Utah and LDS federal elected leaders voting records in voting inline with the Constitution.
The reaction of citizens to those low scoring member of congress and the senate is priceless and opens eyes. Sen Mike Lee 93% and Sen Mitt Romney 41%, Sen Harry Reid 17%, Rep Blake Moore 83%, Rep Burgess Owens 75%, Rep John Curtis 66%, Rep Chris Stewart 61% are they true to their oaths or oath breakers? https://thenewamerican.com/freedom-index/
Jay and his wife Melodee reside in North Ogden and are the proud parents of 2 awesome daughters, a son-in-law and a grandbaby due later this year. The video shown in the presentation can be purchased by clicking the image(s) below as well as other materials produced by Donnie Swaggart on the pilgrims and founding fathers that are absolutely fabulous to learn the true history.

Janet Kent- Author, Upcoming Book (early April 2024): Last Days Decoded: A Scripture-Based Overview of Coming Events and How We Triumph Through Them
April 2024 Presentation: Fri Apr 19th, 4 to 4:45 PM
3 Second Comings – When and Where – And How We Triumph Through Them
I was raised in the “beating heart” of a Midwest Big 10 University where I learned how to learn and acquired a solid, left-brained education. Married in college, Pete and I moved to SW New Hampshire looking for adventure and we found it! It was a pocket of pure magic, untouched by creeping suburbia, and we were immersed in the spirit of history. Sadly the marriage didn’t last but the adventure continued with two children in my “Little Red House.”
There I lived the “Hippie Dream” burning wood for heat, hauling in buckets of water from our well, and seeking spiritual truth. I first explored all the usual Hippie things there: meditation, astrology, intentional community, and English country dancing, before finding Christ in a simple prayer but with a profound answer. My mother and sister sent me LDS literature and I soon received a witness of the Restoration. I moved back to Iowa where I was baptized, then I raised my children in Salt Lake City, while eagerly learning Gospel truths. I had such a dramatic conversion and witness of both Christ and the Restoration of the Gospel that I can never deny that this is the Rock upon which I stand.
I also grew up in the shadow of WWII and learned about the existence of the war between good and evil very early. My mother studied creeping academic correctness during the 1970s and introduced me to Cleon Skousen’s The Naked Capitalist and others. So before I heard the term Gadianton Robbers, I knew something about the ones who have already “gotten above us.”
I became a prepper about 15 years ago and have studied The Last Days ever since. In three priesthood blessings last year, the Lord counseled me to teach about them because: We are in times of tribulation. The times to come are coming soon, and they will be difficult. The members need to be ready: to have their food storage, be spiritually prepared, and have their lives in order. I focus most of my study on what’s coming for America and what to expect that’s both DREADFUL and GREAT – especially great!
I’ve launched a website: LastDaysDecoded.com and am working on the almost-finished book listed above. In it, I report on the best timeline I’ve found that accounts for so many of our Last Days prophecies. Then Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s books (The Oracle, The Return of the Gods, The Josiah Manifesto especially) shine a light on how both God and Satan work that we not have seen before. And in a strange way, his research also validates the boldness of this timeline. No human could have created God’s “footprints” in both history and prophecy for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Finally, I relate tales of others who’ve survived war and great adversities to help us prepare our minds, hearts, and spirits for the days ahead.
I’m so excited for the opportunity to share this emerging knowledge and I’m inviting the Lord into every session on my computer and in front of a mic!

“Last of the Bandit Riders” Sundance and Butch Cassidy
Author of — Last of the Bandit Riders…Revisited…Again — Dr. Steve Lacy — New Large Size Softbound — Third Printing 2021
“The Most Successful & Accurate Book on the Robbers Roost Gang. New Unpublished Photos of Butch Cassidy From His Great-Grandchildren After South America.
– Ten New Photographs of Butch Cassidy
– New Photographs of Etta Place
– New Photographs of the Sundance Kid
– New Photographs of Matt Warner
– New Photographs of the Robbers Roost Gang
Dr. Lacy has researched longer than anyone else on the Robbers Roost Gang; 61 years — There never was a Wild Bunch — Butch Cassidy, famous Mormon outlaw, didn’t die in South America — He and Elza Lay didn’t rob the Castle Gate Mine Payroll on April 21, 1897. Joe Walker & Johnny Herring were positively identified as the ones who did it.
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – A famous outlaw may have died here in Salt Lake City, while his partner–who was born in Beaver–also lived beyond previously thought.
That’s the discovery of local author Dr. Steve Lacy who claimed Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid didn’t die in South America in a shoot out with the Bolivian army.
In his latest book, “Last of the Bandit Riders … Revisited, Again” Lacy said his interviews, research and documents led him to believe the two men returned to the U.S. after their seven-year stay in Bolivia.
“There was no official identification of the men who were killed,” said Lacy.
His fascination with the two notorious outlaws began in 1961 while in elementary school. “I liked the picture and I thought it was unique,” Lacy said. “I had no idea who they were.”
He was looking at a brouchure that was sent to him. It was of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
At the time, he was writing a school paper and received photos of the famous outlaws.
“Later on, I found out that Butch was my distant cousin and that my grandfather had a run in with the Sundance Kid,” he said.” Marcos Ortiz, ABC See Video Here

April 2023 Presentation
The Temple Endowment An Ancient Celebration of the Plan of Salvation
Marcus M. Ladd lives in Lindon, Utah. He was born in Sheridan, Wyoming, and is 62 year old. From 1974-76 he served in the Bolivia La Paz mission. In 1981 he graduated from BYU with a BA in Russian. He has been married to his wife Chrissy for 21 years, and they have four wonderful children. Marcus serves as the temple prep instructor in his ward. He has authored two books. His first is, “And He Spake Unto Me,” which charts the overarching chiastic structure of 1st Nephi. His second is “The Temple Pattern,” which explores the repeated endowment pattern found in all of scripture. In his spare time Marcus enjoys music, sport, and studying ancient Hebrew and Greek.
The Temple Endowment An Ancient Celebration of the Plan of Salvation
Introduction
The purpose of this book is to identify the modern temple endowment as it is found in biblical and modern scripture. In fact, the unmistakable pattern of the modern temple endowment is repeated many times throughout the Old and New Testaments, as well as in the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price. However, nowhere in any of these
books are we told, “Here it is, the following is the temple endowment.” None the less, once the pattern is understood it can be found interwoven into many stories of the scriptures. It could even be called the pattern of the gospel or the plan of salvation, with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ at its center. As we will discover, the temple endowment is
the gospel, and the gospel is the endowment
Mike and Betty “Red Ant” LaFontaine VP and Curator of Heartland Research Group, Native American Educators. Co-Owners of ‘Phoenicia’ 600 BC Replica
April 2024 Presentations:
Mike & Betty: Thur. April 18th, 5- 545 PM
Phoenicia Report
Betty: Fri April 19th, 2 to 245 PM
They Called him Father, Joseph Smith and the Indians
Mike and Betty LaFontaine are the curators of the Phoenicia Museum owned by The Heartland Research Group. They live in Florida but spend 4 months of the year in Iowa rebuilding and maintaining the Phoenicia Museum with the replica ‘Phoenicia’ ship, which was sailed many voyages by Captain Philip Beale:
Mike is part Chippewa Native American, from the Heartland of North America and Vice President of Heartland Research Group. he is the leader of the amazing research and re-building team in Iowa.
The Phoenicia Voyages by Captain Philip Beale and Team are an ideal test of the veracity of the Book of Mormon account. It shows not only that the materials and technology of 600 B.C. allowed construction of ocean-going vessels for both Lehi’s group and the Mulekites, but that both groups could have crossed the Atlantic and landed in North America, coming from the east.
This one replica 600 BC ship has proven possible then, two very important voyages testified about in the Book of Mormon that were accomplished. The Phoenicia has sailed over 30,000 nautical miles in the past 10 years or so, and the Heartland Research is the new owner.
Betty “Red Ant” LaFontaine is a full blooded Diné (Navajo) born of the Red Clay Bottom Clan, for the Salt Clan. Raised on the Navajo Reservation, she lived most of her youth in New Mexico in the traditional ways of the Diné.
Betty is the middle child of eleven children, most of whom continue to live on the Reservation. Her father is Charlie (Man in the White Meadow) White, and her mother is Helen Yazzie White. Her ties to her family and homeland remain strong. Her family was taught by missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and in about 1967 her mother was baptized by LeGrande Richards. Her mother later took out her endowments in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Helen served as a Relief Society President in her hometown of Crownpoint, New Mexico, and has always been very sensitive to the Spirit, despite her lack of a formal education.
Betty did the Temple work for her father Charlie, after he passed away. At age five, Betty began her formal education. While attending school she was taught English as a second language. She was not permitted to speak her native tongue during the school day. Betty’s mother Helen chose to have Betty attend the LDS Indian Student Placement Program, giving her access to a better education and an introduction to the modern world. During her seven years in the program, Betty met her husband of 38 years, Mike LaFontaine originally from Florida, and is of Chippewa heritage. Mike’s parents are Melvin J. and Dellene M. Peterson LaFontaine. Mike and Betty were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1982 and they currently live in Orange Park, Florida where they have been for 25 years, spending time with their beautiful 5 children and 18 grandchildren.
As a modern urban Indian, Betty’s passion is to educate others about the realities of reservation life, and the history and culture of her people. Betty loves helping others become outstanding members of their communities, and especially loves strengthening her brothers and sisters in the LDS Church. As an Indian educator, Betty makes presentations about her native culture, life-ways, heritage to school assemblies, clubs, groups, organizations, and business employees. Betty has served in Relief Society, Young Women, and as a teacher in Sunday School, and Primary.
She is from the tribe of Manasseh. Her testimony of the veracity of the Book of Mormon has engendered in her an interest in recent archaeological and DNA evidences and the ties she has to her heritage and native culture. Her Native American brothers and sisters are a chosen yet scattered people and her passion is to bring them home to the Savior where they may lead in building the New Jerusalem.

2023 April Presentation:
Concussions-TBI & birth trauma. The hidden LASTING symptoms & treatments
I was born in Jacksonville Fla. Native American Chippewa – Swedish, My husband and I Reside in Mapleton Utah, I am the youngest of 6 children five older brothers, my interests included, family life, the great outdoors, skiing, boating, hiking, camping, hunting, shooting, connecting with my native roots, I love my animals, chickens ,bees, dog and cat, gardening, studying anatomy, Barral Institute, reading doctrine, learning about everything, connecting with all people, attending church, studying and finding the truth in America and throughout the world.
Basketball was my first love, I played every spare minute I had, I learned the principles of hard work, competing, and to never give up. I was named all state for Spanish for High school, continued on to play Basketball for UVU on a scholarship , named all conference and went to the National Tournament. My greatest joy in my life is being a Mother of 5 along with a niece and nephew, I am a grandmother of baby girl twins, and a few dogs. Married and had two beautiful sons by age 23.
At age 24 I attended Utah Collage massage therapy, I love helping people, and being a mother always came first in my life. Five years later I had three more wonderful sons, and was a single mother, for 10 years, in which I had to help provide for my family while spending most of my time raising my small strong children, which were involved in club sports, dance, etc. My brother passed away, I had the opportunity to raise his son and daugher for years, they were a joy. I found myself a few years later unsatisfied with results from massage therapy, as I believed there was a therapy out there that could address very deep physical or mental problems, and it could repair and fix the body and mind in a very short time. So, I started my journey and it took thousands hours of extended education. One day my best friend showed me an article in the Time Magazine.
The article was called liberating your liver, By John Pierre Barral a Osteopath in France. His therapy is called Visceral Manipulation, and the article explained how manipulation of the organs will have a long lasting effect on the entire body and its systems and how effective it is. He was also named Time Magazines top innovator in the 21st-century. I knew this was a therapy that I had been looking for, as I believed the impossible could exist and it did, as I believe the body can heal and regenerate. It just needs the right touch and therapy. In 2006 I started my training with the Barral Institute. I loved every minute of it and I still study daily. I have finished the curriculum and taken most classes twice, with thousands of hours and practice, the results have been quick and long lasting.
I know Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Manual Articular, Vascular Manipulation, and Cranial Sacral. I treat every system of the body at the core level very specifically for what that body needs. The symptoms that I can treat are a plethora of many things. I love my Family, I love America, I love freedom, I’m a patriot, I believe the impossible can be possible, I believe we are all here on the earth to care, love and help each other, I don’t give up, I love Jesus, he is my Savior and Redeemer, my mom and dad taught me to work hard, be honest, compassionate, and many other qualities.
I love serving and helping others, spending time outside with my native roots and with animals which keep me grounded and happy. Currently my office is in Provo, Utah at Integrated Heath Care and Associates. I have been practicing body work for 26 yrs and I currently have been practicing Barral Institute Therapy (Visceral Manipulation) for the last 16 yrs. I have had the opportunity to raise a beautiful family and help people on their healing journey to find answers that they have been seeking for years. My clients range from new born to 100 yrs old. I treat successfully, TBI, Concussions, Pediatrics, Pain management, Musculoskeletal pain, Headaches, Detox, Migraines, Auto-Immune, Fertility, Pre & Post Pregnancy, and much more.

Dr. Chris S. Lauritzen- Author, Green Beret, Values Driven Leadership PhD
2024 Presentation
Fri April 19th, 1215 to 1 PM
Ruffians and Gentlemen: The Valor and Virtues of Elite Tactical Teams
Chris Lauritzen looks at leadership from several different viewpoints. He is a military man who has been in harm’s way. He is a dentist, a professor, an athlete and a scholar. He left a thriving dental practice to join other family members to serve his country after the tragedy of 9-11. And, now he is an author, finishing a book on leadership with the working title of “Ruffians and Gentlemen: The Valor and Virtues of Elite Tactical Teams.”
A Green Beret and a medical practitioner, Chris has served his country and his church and now, while retired from the military, he provides dental treatment for indigent, mostly Spanish-speaking patients at a clinic near his home. Along the way, he has added a PHD in Values Driven Leadership from Benedictine University’s Goodwin College of Business. A board-certified comprehensive dentist and master clinician in the military, he earned Mastership status from the Academy of General Dentistry. He has graduated from numerous military leadership institutes, including the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School, the US Army Command and General Staff College and the US Air Force’s Air War College. His extensive education allowed appointments as a professor to Webster University’s George H. Walker School of Business and the School of Dentistry at the University of Utah.
But, it’s leadership that drives him. What makes good leaders, where do they come from and how can anyone learn those values and principles that separates true leaders from the ordinary? Those are the questions, blended with examples from scripture, especially from the Book of Mormon, that Dr. C.S. Lauritzen will address and answer at the Spring 2024 Book of Mormon Evidence Expo in April.
Daren Lee- Speaker, UM Teaching re-activated Daren
April 2024 Presentation:
Thurs April 18th, 1115 to Noon
How the UM Brought the Light of the gospel Back into My Life
Daren Lee was a lifelong, active member of the LDS church who served a mission in the Dominican Republic, was married in the temple and has five beautiful children. Despite all of this, Daren suffered a crisis of faith spanning more than a decade, during which he was completely inactive and no longer believed. The primary cause of doubt for Daren was the many conflicts between religious teachings and scientific declarations that are mutually exclusive. Have you ever struggled to justify your beliefs when confronted by someone wielding scientific ‘facts’?
Was the Earth formed “in and of water” as the scriptures profess? Or do we live on what was once a ball of magma floating in space, as taught in nearly every school classroom? Was there a Global Flood just several thousands of years ago? Or is the Flood of Noah’s time nothing more than mythology, with zero scientific evidence that it was real? If we can’t trust scripture on major claims such as these, why would we believe the rest? Is secular science correct? Or is a priori commitment to naturalistic explanations that do not “allow a divine foot in the door,” even at the expense of truth, purposely excluding evidence supportive of scriptural narratives and timelines?
After a full decade of disbelief, Daren was introduced to the Universal Model – a New Millennial Science. The scientific truths that are found and beautifully explained within the UM have brought him back to the Gospel and have blessed him with a testimony far stronger than ever before. What’s more, they have given him the ability to defend his religious convictions! True science validates scripture, and the two coexist in perfect harmony. This New Millennial Science allows us to ‘believe’ with both our hearts and our minds!
Daren is once again a very active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and has helped bring the scientific truths found in the Universal Model to many others who are seeking to strengthen testimonies or rekindle faith. He speaks of his experience in great detail including hundreds of hours of debates against the claims of atheistic science using the power of the knowledge and wisdom found in the Universal Model.

Ian Main- Bachelor of Commerce, Teacher, Researcher
Presentation: “Archaeology and the Book of Mormon: A Cultural Perspective” “Archaeology and the Book of Mormon: A Cultural Perspective”. As someone who was converted to the Church through the Book of Mormon, Ian was eager to find any physical evidence which supported his spiritual belief. Unfortunately, through much of his life the focus of the Church was on Central and South America. This presentation will explain how the works of Rod Meldrum, Wayne May and others enabled Ian to embrace a new paradigm and embark on his own journey of discovery. It will also outline how academic research into ancient American cultures enables us to propose which ancient groups of North America were in fact the several cultural groups described in the Book of Mormon.
Biography: Ian Main was raised in the Anglican Church. His family was surprised and a little sceptical when as a 16-year-old he was baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A few years later he served in the England Birmingham Mission. After returning to his homeland of Australia, he married and now has four children and five grand-children. Although he has held a variety of callings, including councillor to a Bishop, High Councillor, Elder’s Quorum President, High Priest Group Leader and Young Men’s President, his favourite has been teaching Gospel Doctrine because of his love for the scriptures. The growing understanding of the setting for the Book of Mormon has reinvigorated his thirst for knowledge and his enjoyment of that book. Ian has a Bachelor of Commerce degree and his long career in business included working as Finance Director of a manufacturing company and ten years as General Manager of a Co-operative. A few years ago, Ian decided on a complete career change and now works as a sign language interpreter in Australian High Schools.

Susan Manning, a San Diego native, knew at 10 yrs old that city living was not for her. Her careers in accounting, finance, real estate and new home construction convinced her there was a better way to build homes–better for the people and the environment. She combined her 25+ years in these fields and decided to develop a community that was more intelligent. Raising her three children in rural Utah, she longed for the type of tight knit community she experienced there with all the modern techniques she had been learning. Springbrook Village is the result.(801) 400-3242

Bob McEntee- Utah EMP Task Force, USAF Navigator, Strategic Air Command, Utah Director on the Task Force for National and Homeland Security.
Oct. 2022 Presentation:EMP (electromagnetic pulse) Threats and Solutions
Bob currently works with Utah EMP Task Force and the title of his presentation is above.
Bob McEntee has an extensive USAF war planning training and experience. He’s also flown operational missions on the KC-135, and planning missions for a variety of USAF aircraft as a Flight Manager. He’s a cold war graduate of the US Air Force Academy.
After graduating with a BS in US History and a minor in German language Bob flew over 5,000 hours as a USAF Navigator, Pilot as well as private pilot time. He pulled nuclear alert as a SAC (Strategic Air Command) Crew Member during the cold war and flew operational missions during the Gulf War and other operations worldwide.
During this time Bob was put in charge of problematic aircrew nuclear SIOP (Single Integrated Operational Plan, also called EWO, Emergency War Orders) planning training aircrew on procedures for nuclear response. The SAC testing standard was 100% which several crews were failing. Bob’s award winning training changes enabled crews to pass and be ready to fulfill their wartime role. The 43rd ARW sent him to the Contingency Wartime Planning Course at Maxwell AFB. Later he was the 91st ARW Tactics Instructor for Pilots and Navigators in the KC-135 teaching them their wartime conventional and nuclear defensive tactics after completing Air Mobility Command’s (AMC) Combat Air Tactics training and the USAF’s famed “Red Flag” where Bob flew as a participant then came back later as a Red Flag planner cooperating with other weapons systems to integrate tactics to enhance aircrew responses.
Bob worked at Headquarters of Air Mobility Command (AMC) at Scott AFB, IL planning aircrew operation missions and monitoring AMC aircraft movements worldwide. After 2 years of that he was hired as the Deputy Director of the F-15E Mission Training Center (simulators) largely due to his Red Flag and wartime planning course experience.
Bob has also been interested and active in politics while living in Idaho and Utah, engaging civilian leaders on the importance of hardening the grid to provide for the common defense and general welfare. Bob is able to communicate with anyone from children to seniors and has briefed Congressmen, State leaders and 4 Star Generals on military threats and can well represent the continued need to prepare for threats from the sun or a determined enemy. He enjoys hiking in the summer and leisure travel with family when possible and he is conversant in simple German.
Bob persuaded the Utah Republican Party in 2018 to overwhelmingly pass a resolution calling on elected leaders to harden the Utah and US power grids against both solar and EMP threats. Bob later influenced his Utah State Representative to sponsor JHR 014 in 2019, which passed unanimously, calling for the US and Utah to harden their power grids against solar and EMP threats as well. He encouraged Rep. Carl Albrecht of Utah to sponsor a bill to harden Utah’s critical power infrastructure against solar and EMP threats in 2022. He is well qualified to lead Utah as their State Director on the Task Force for National and Homeland Security.

The Banner, the Mountain, and the Multitude (The Church, The Place and the People)
The multitudes are the Saints who will be gathered from every nation in the last days and enlisted in the army of the living God to wage war against wickedness. We, the Later Day Saints Of The Church of Jesus Christ are the multitudes Isaiah is talking about in the Book of Mormon and in his own writings. Are we actively gathering in the way he is stating in this scripture?
God blesses America everyday, but he requires His people, His children, our brothers and sisters to do our part. He will not move a parked car! We have to turn the key and start going down the road with real intent to do the right thing and I can promise that it will happen. But only when we come together as a people of righteousness. Let’s put our best foot forward and be true Americans and true children of our God. Let’s be more friendly towards everyone no matter what comes at us. Let’s be the example of what it really means to be God’s Children.
Let’s Go Be Say and Do The work of the Lord. Let’s discover how we do that! There truly is a way and we will cover it in detail in this presentation. And it all comes from the scriptures, much of it from the Book Of Mormon and the words of Isaiah! As well as the modern-day Prophets and Apostles.
BIO: I was born 1946 in Box Elder County Utah, as William Misrasi Jr. and was raised a farm boy In a very poor family environment. I didn’t live in a home with running water or any type of indoor plumbing until I was 11 years old. I had a very strict father who had an amazing work ethic that required hard work every day no matter what the weather. I was driving a farm truck at the age of 10 and I busted coal and loaded it into buckets, hauled them into the old stove and then chopped wood every morning before school from the time I was 5 to 11 years of age..
As I look back on those days I realize that being poor was only in the eyes of my friends and neighbors who looked on us from their prospective of being wealthy. I never felt poor and I always lived, what I remember as, a happy life. A life full of adventure, responsibility and accountability. A life that I wouldn’t go back and change for anything.
I missed a lot of school in those days because I had to stay home in the spring to help plant and in the fall to help harvest. So needless to say I really never did great in the grades department. Although I did manage to graduate.
My dad was not a member of the church, my mother was. She was a descendent of a pioneer family so she saw to it that I was raised in the church, and my father was the descendant of an immigrant from Albania but he allowed us to attend church.
I gained a great love of my Savior in my younger years from the teachings I received from church attendance. But later I fell away to inactivity from the time I was 14 to the time I was 30 years old. At the age of 30 I was married and had to daughters. Two weeks after the first birthday of my second daughter we found her lifeless in her crib from the results of SIDS or infant Death Syndrome.
That unexpected loss was devastating to me and started a major change of events in my life. As I mentioned I had been inactive in the church for over 15 years and I was truly lost for understanding such a heart braking loss.
So to make a long story short, I became an entrepreneur starting my first business in 1976 having experienced a few great successes and many great lessons of winning and not winning and here I am today over 45 years later still determined to make a positive difference in my neighborhood, my city, My State and Nation as well as a major effort to warn and prepare the people to come unto Christ.
Over the years I have always been a Go’er, a Be’er, a Say’er and a Do’er all of my life. I have a burning desire in my heart to provide a message to my fellow brothers and sisters and all of mankind to take action and Go, be, say, do something meaningful in helping build the Lord’s Army here in the last days as proclaimed in the words of Isaiah and help bring people to the lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I have always taken on life a day at a time and strive to do all things that my heart was set on. I believe that too many times in our lives the fear of failure, harm, accident, disease, and many other potential hazards of life, keep us from going, being, saying, and doing the things that deep inside of us are burning with desire for accomplishment.
I believe that all of us have a desire to do good and many of us, too many of us, never Go, Be,Say or Do anything about it. There are many reasons why we don’t but hence when we don’t we never achieve the destiny‘s that only await our courage to take action.
It was once said by, Poet William Ernest Henley, how charged with punishment the scroll, I am the masters of my fate, the captain of my soul. Are we?
Do we really set out each day by giving much thought to what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what value it is that will come from our day? Are we really doing the things that are the desire of our hearts. Or are we just taking the easy path. One that doesn’t require much thought, or planning, or consideration of our destiny.
Through my intense study of the scripture and the lords work I have truly come to understand the work that the Lord has for us to do in these last days. I understand the urgency and believe that now is the time to prepare to meet the Lord. He could easily come in our day and we cannot leave His work for someone else to do at a later time? I strive to continue studying the scriptures, especially the Words of Isaiah?
In my effort to play a part in awakening the souls of all good men through encouragement of providing more resources to help the cause.

1- Fri 6 pm God Given Eternal Rights
2- Sat 430 Where are the Men?
Eric is a husband, father, author, former police officer, small business owner, and founder of the Utah Business Revival. He organized several events this last year to promote freedom and Liberty. He also helped produce Non-Essential, a documentary focused on educating the public about our God given rights.
The Salt Lake City Police Department placed Officer Eric Moutsos on administrative leave for voicing his conscience. They broke their own policies, leaking info to the media in an attempt to tarnish his good name, and ultimately took his badge and gun. The public was misled.
Were there ulterior motives for their treatment of this award-winning cop? Was it a cover-up?
Rumors circulated, after he became vocal in support of constitutional rights, that he was merely being insubordinate, yet nothing negative was ever written in his personnel file prior to his taking a stand. He had the audacity to expose corrupt practices within the department during his time on the job, and since. He challenged those practices and paid dearly for it.
This book is based on the true story leading up to and following the destruction of a good officer’s seven-year career – a circumstance that played out in global media.
This book is about issues as big as the US Constitution. It is about what American society will and will not tolerate. It is about loving those with differing opinions while maintaining one’s convictions. It is about opening a dialogue that will lead to a better tomorrow.
This book is about fundamental problems plaguing police agencies across the Nation, problems that lead to tension between citizens and those who are sworn to protect and serve them. This work deals with police actions often misinterpreted as racism, but which actually stem from a system of quotas. It exposes the funds for numbers dilemma and the complications inherent in such a system.
This book is about how to overcome adversity in the deepest levels of despair. How to become better by the opposition, which is inevitable when going against the toughest grains. This book is about finding the strength and courage to use the convictions deep in your soul. To follow the dictates of your conscience in any circumstance.
Presentation: 2022
Has anyone else noticed who the dark and fierce cultural “leaders” are turning into the enemies? Who are now the “bad guys” in the world’s eyes? We are one of the only dispensations that have most, if not ALL of the written records relating to how civilizations were ultimately destroyed because of wickedness and corruption. God let us know most everything. Literally handed it all to us. This is not to mention any and all sources of information in the palm of our hands (phones), and we still don’t seem to get it; even with all the combined scriptures possible.
I’m not just talking about scriptures about love and heaven, but unfortunately about the pain it takes to arrive in a heavenly state; things like overcoming sin, continual repentance, heartache, forgiveness, and the Eternal hell some will remain in, if they don’t choose to move forward toward the light. Being “Damned” simply means being stopped in progression. Further, these scriptures include wars that must be fought, spiritually and physically; These scriptures talk about the fight for freedom and liberty, corrupt as hell governments, “secret combinations”, death, control, fear, evil, and how the father of lies is behind it all. Even further, these scriptures (along with living prophets) show and tell we are near the final battles between good and evil, right before the Lord returns to GATHER everyone together; and when the devils (and their followers) will be DIVIDED and SCATTERED, into the darkness for 1000 years.
The devil will always divide and God will always gather. Always. How can we as Christians (whether LDS or another denomination) fully read scripture patterns of corruption and warning voices, written for our current day, knowing Christ is about to come, AND ALSO somehow believe the current government, politicians, “scientists”, and mainstream media have our best interests in mind? In other words, if the corrupt government and deep-state media AREN’T the enemy for the final days against the church before Christ comes, who then is the enemy? If Hollywood, most giant corporations, many professional athletes, colleges, who are all calling for “unity”, but in reality preaching true discrimination and segregation, especially towards believers, again who then is the enemy in the last days? Is it the Christian’s who are standing up to the ways of the world? Is it Christian who chooses to finally say “I’ve had enough!” ..
“I’m going to speak out for my country!” Is that the people the scriptures warned everyone about that would attack the Latter Day Saints? The “fringe” patriots? The “crazy conspiracy theorists” who actually believe the scriptures? The loons who claim they can see spiritually what’s happening? The ONLY ones willing to fight for freedoms, while the very loud mouths who mock, and don’t understand they are using that God given right that will soon be ripped away by an agenda who doesn’t want anyone to speak in the end, except for the devil himself? Is it the people who are putting their lives and jobs on hold, yelling at the tops of our lungs, being cancelled out-of-society for DEFENDING the Constitution? Are they the enemy? Because it seems so.
Those who believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights? The people who express openly the crazy idea that a marriage between a man and a woman is sacred and holy, and no other pattern can operate in the highest part of heaven? Are they the enemy? The radical idea that killing a baby in the most sacred and holy place on earth, the mother’s womb, may just be an evil thing for everyone involved, dead or alive? Are those the dark enemies the scriptures talk about? The ones standing on the walls taking arrows trying to protect life? Because clearly groups like the Democratic Party aren’t dangerous at all. The party who will clearly do ANYTHING to take the power. The party who uses the BLM “movement” to hijack over 95% of all the funds coming to the organization, ironically ran by very rich white politicians who need to keep minorities down, by preaching how being a victim is the only way to survive.
They can’t be the enemy! They are just helping. The party who kills millions of babies in the womb; the party that pushes socialism, the party that divides people into classes, shames anyone who disagrees with them, destroys families by government incentives to stay single, cancels real women, destroys bold conservative truthful women, confuses our God given identity into a smorgasbord of 65 genders, uses women and minorities as pawns to appear diverse, when in reality they are the true racists and sexists and bigots. No, this group sounds like ticket that will get us straight into the kingdom of God, right? Oh wait, they also cancelled God over the years. There’s no way they are the enemy. Not possible. The bottom line is we are being deceived by Satan on every level in society. Including by church owned media sources like the Deseret News, who use the church’s good name for their dark political agenda, whoever is behind the scenes. It’s sick. We truly do live in the last days where “good will be evil and evil good.” So who is it? Who’s the reason why God’s anger is kindled for in the last days?
The honest and scared man and woman standing up and speaking right now, even if they get fired or shamed by family and friends, OR the very corrupt world government “leaders” (and their wicked civilian mob armies, along with the wicked MSM) who, at every chance they can, will grab for more control and money? Who is the enemy? The ones scrambling backwards on defense trying to protect their jobs and homes and children, OR could it just be the perpetrators pushing forward with lie after lie after lie in every possible way to take our freedoms and Liberties? Who is the enemy? The good news is God isn’t the enemy, and He wins in the end. I testify if we just keep trying to listen to the light inside of our souls (our conscience) it will lead us directly back to Him.

April 2023 Presentations:
1- The Rational Restoration
2- By Means of the Urim and Thummim: Restoring Translation to the Restoration With Author, with author Jim Lucas
Jonathan Neville is a lawyer, businessman, educator and author who has written over forty books, including both nonfiction and fiction. He has studied Church history and the Book of Mormon for decades, but didn’t begin publishing in the field until 2015. As of July 2017, he has published ten books on these topics. He also writes for several blogs, including lettervii.com, and moronisamerica.com. Brother Neville approaches these issues like the criminal prosecutor he once was. He pursues the evidence wherever it leads and doesn’t simply “assume” anything or take anyone’s word at face value. When it comes to Church history, he follows the adage: “trust, but verify.”
That process of verifying has led to some important new discoveries that he finds to be faith-affirming and corroborate what Joseph Smith said and what the Book of Mormon teaches. For the last twenty-five years, Jonathan has lived in Utah, but he has lived in Europe for 8 years, in the Philippines, in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington, Tennessee, and Illinois. He has visited over 60 countries on every continent—including a Chilean base in Antarctica. He travels frequently with his wife Beverly, a PhD and Division Director for the Salt Lake County Health Department who is also a college professor and author, a popular speaker at BYU Education Week, and the author of an article in the Ensign in 2015.
They have eight children, seven grandchildren, and no pets. Tim Ballard, author of the Lincoln Hypothesis among other books, says Brother Neville’s book titled Moroni’s America is “a definite game changer… finally a complete, honest, and faithful look at Book of Mormon geography that deals with all the tough questions.” Brother Neville’s book, Whatever Happened to the Golden Plates?, explains how Joseph Smith actually translated two separate sets of plates—only one of which came from Moroni’s box in the Hill Cumorah. This new understanding of Church history helps explain details that have puzzled historians for decades. Brother Neville has spoken at firesides and conferences throughout the United States and in Europe.
Detailed new discoveries that explain: – How much of the Book of Mormon did Joseph translate before Oliver Cowdery arrived in Harmony? – Why did Joseph and Oliver say Joseph used the Urim and Thummim, while other say he used a seer stone? – What evidence is there that Joseph actually translated the plates? Infinite Goodness: Joseph Smith, Jonathan Edwards, and the Book of Mormon RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2020 Detailed new discoveries that explain: – How Joseph Smith translated the plates using his own language. – How the Book of Mormon fits directly within Christian tradition and fulfills the hopes and dreams of well-known Christian authors and ministers. – How the Book of Mormon is God’s gift to the entire world. Between these Hills: A Case for the New York Cumorah RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 27, 2020 A comprehensive discussion that explains: – Why Oliver Cowdery declared it was a fact that the final battles of the Jaredites and Nephites occurred in New York. – How the consistent teachings of the prophets about Cumorah has been corroborated by archaeology, anthropology, geography, and geology. – Why the New York Cumorah supports the divine authenticity of the Book of Mormon.

O God, Preserve Us A Nation! Repairing the rot of Election Fraud
Shocking evidence that your PRIVATE EMAILS and TEXT MESSAGES are being MONITORED, CATEGORIZED, AND CENSORED for political purposes.
Through the hand of Big Tech and Potentially Other Actors, Our Phones and Electronic Devices are Spying On Us, Censoring our Free Speech, and Selling Us Out. We will expose some of these insidious organizations behind this and what can be done about it.
If we lose the ability to communicate our experiences, our thoughts and concerns with others, even if we dutifully show up at the election polls with voter fraud solved and full trust WE HAVE LOST OUR NATION !!
Vincent Newmeyer was a curious child from the start, and has been a science buff his entire life. He attended BYU to study Engineering. Vince ran his own computer consulting company, designed and built solar power installations, and engaged in electronic technical work. Vince took an intense interest in evolutionary thought and the challenges to it in 1998 and has studied it deeply since that time. As a result of his research, and the disconnect with the facts as he saw them, he started “The Catalyst Group” to bring to light the science that has been ignored and all too often eschewed. Vince sat on the Utah State science standard’s review committee and voiced his opposition to the 6-8 grade standards as they pushed a biased view of certain evolutionary paradigms. The standard were unfortunately adopted by our State Board of Education. He also sat on the K-5 & 9-12 standard’s review committee and is now leading the opposition to the materialist dogma they push. Vince started the ScienceFreedom.org website to help that effort as it relates to public schools, the lds.ScienceElevated.com, ScienceElevated.com websites, and the YouTube Channels “LDS Science Elevated” and “Science Elevated.” These site are designed to help parents with children in the home, home schools, private schools, and for others curious about this topic. As an amateur geologist and science enthusiast, he has done extensive reading and researching on topics in geology, biology, physics, astronomy, and earth sciences.
April 2022 PresentationRefuting Atheism: Saving Souls with Scientific Truth
The deceptions taught by modern science heavily influence our culture today. Many people loose their faith or will never plant a seed of faith in God because they are convinced that science has proven, that our earth was the result of mere accidental explosion, resulting in mans evolution from slime to ape to themselves. The Universal Model is loaded with information that you can use to debunk these lies. You can bring souls to Christ through sharing real scientific evidence of the truth. Learn the newly discovered natural laws and how they verify God’s word, then share them.
My name is Sarah Nyberg, I love learning and teaching truth. From a young age I felt drawn to learning about natural healing. I worked at Dr. Christophers Herb Shop and was fascinated learning all about how cleansing toxins from the body, eating a diet of whole plant foods and using herbs could heal serious diseases. I loved to try experiments on myself and found that these things were true. I also found great joy in teaching others about these things and that could help them become healthier.
I created some social media platforms to teach others, gaining thousands of followers who were as excited about these things as I was. I then started teaching the UM in my home, inviting as many as would attend. What a wonderful experience it is to find and teach truth, truth which coincides with the scriptures, truth which the Spirit can testify of, to me and to those I am teaching!
Title: The Fractal GospelV
A fractal is a repeating complex pattern that resembles itself at different scales. These patterns are seen throughout nature at giant scale as well as microscopic. They can also be mathematically generated on computers. They are beautiful to behold and intricate in design.
What are gospel fractals? How does the gospel resemble itself at different scales? If all things testify of Christ, how do we approach a creation to examine how it represents Him? Join me for a quick dive into finding faith in Christ in everything around us.

FOUNDER, 21 WHISKEY SERVANT LEADERSHIP EDUCATION
PRESENTATION 21 WHISKEY PRESENTS TEACHING THROUGH CONVERSATION: Closing the Distance
In a first at 21 Whiskey, we realize the “dream” of healing conversations between the sons and daughters of God descended from different experiences. From Lehi’s Vision of the Tree of Life and the Zoramites of old to the true meaning of what it means to circumcise our hearts, the “how” of powerful healing is our focus. SPOILER ALERT: It’s all about love…
We must have far more than academic knowledge to be ready for the challenging days ahead. As members of this “Royal Generation” in this dispensation of times it is critical that our hearts be FULLY healed, rejecting false traditions, to effectively execute individual mission and purpose. In this presentation Robin sits down with Author Mike Simpson of THE MIRACLE BRIDGE: Let Go and Let God Heal (WWW.THEMIRACLEBRIDGE.COM). Mike and Robin explore the origins of healing from egregious generational wounds, citing examples from Robin’s deeply personal healing journey that has made it possible for her to complete her earthly assignment of facilitating the healing of a nation.

Mormon Traditionalist Podcast
“In relation to the Kingdom of God-the devil always sets up his kingdom at the very same time in opposition to God…” Joseph Smith Jr. Satan wasted no time in setting up his kingdom of lies and deception as God began to establish His. He has corrupted the mainstream narrative of the restoration of the gospel, Joseph Smith’s character, Book of Mormon Geography, history and science. He twists all of these topics by avoiding proper context through lies of omission to draw people from the truth. And the engine he has selected to run his assault in the last days is progressivism. Prophets of the Book of Mormon exposed the values of Progressivism as evil and modern day prophets have called out the progressive movement as evil directly. Socialism. Communism. Humanism. Darwinism.
All labeled as evil by God’s chosen mouthpiece in the latter days, yet still promoted by many church members and even taught unapologetically at BYU. Alma testified that all things denote that there is a God. The evidence is there for everyone to see. But you have to be willing to see it. And you better be bold and stand for that truth when you find it, especially when the mainstream narrative (Satan’s narrative) attacks it. “The devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built…” Helaman 5:12 The truth is increasingly unpopular, and members of the church are far too often eager to compromise their beliefs to appease the views of others. It’s time for members to decide what’s more important to them, the gospel or their world view?” Jaren O’Driscoll

War and The Fight For Freedom
What do you do when war becomes necessary to preserve your rights? The Nephites lived constantly with war and America gained its freedom through the Revolutionary War. Our nation is involved in war of a different kind today, against its moral enemy, progressivism. How do we combat this evil?
America’s character and fundamental nature are changing in alarming ways. We will discuss these progressive changes brought about through massive immigration and plummeting birth rates. These issues also permeated the Nephite culture, but with contrasting results.
Pamela’s love of country, family, and life itself led her to begin speaking publicly for the Right to Life movement and into a private study of the morality of public policy. This fascinating journey left her concerned, yet hopeful, for the future of our country. She remains optimistic about the strength, integrity and willingness to act with her fellow Americans in the conservative Christian cause.
A college degree in education opened the door to teaching: in elementary school, high school, and public school special education. Those endeavors have been shelved as she currently invests her efforts in teaching about our inspired, dynamic and currently embattled United States Constitution. Her greatest love, other than God, family, and country, is teaching—and she loves teaching the truth.

Can We Survive the Deception & Chaos of the Last Days Without a Divine Witness of the Book of Mormon?
Presentation Description:
In 1832 the Lord said the whole church was under condemnation for treating the Book of Mormon “lightly” and that the condemnation would remain “until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon…otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.”
Prophets in our day have said that this condemnation “has not been lifted, nor will it be until we repent.”
Are we experiencing a “scourge and judgment”–as evidenced by the many members who have left the Church–because we have neglected this divine instrument of conversion?
We are promised that when we receive a divine witness of the Book of Mormon we will also
come to know three other essential truths that will anchor us to Jesus Christ and His gospel.
Having this divine witness is essential to surviving the chaos, corruption, and deception
(including the coming AI onslaught) of the Last Days.

Kathy Pace- aka the Title of Liberty Flag Lady
Presentation: April 2022
Raising the Title of Liberty Flag in Our Day, a story that needs to be shared.
In the year of 2008 while attending a Gospel Doctrine class, studying from the Book of Mormon, Alma 46:12 “And it came to pass that he (Captain Moroni) rent his coat; and took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it – In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives and our children – and he fastened it upon the end of a pole”… It was at that moment when the spirit came upon me with a strong, clear and gentle voice in my head/heart “it’s time to raise the title of liberty”. That was the beginning of my story/journey with this flag. A true story of inspiration, meeting the right people at the right time, adversaries, and tender mercies, there are no coincidences. Please join my class to hear the rest of the story, and let’s discuss why is this flag so important for us today, how should it be used?
In the middle of the Civil War (1861-1865) this horrendous event became “lost” or perhaps better said suppressed ot justified by some white settlers as God’s will. This band of the Shoshone Nation, whose base camp was Cache Valley, save less than a hundred survivors, was annihilated.
Enter Mae Timbimboo Parry (1919-2007), grandmother of Darren Parry, who was the Northwest Band of the Shoshone’s matriarch, record keeper and historian. A granddaughter of massacre survivor Pisappih or Red Oquirrh (aka Yeager Timbimboo, born circa 1848, died 1937), Mae heard and felt the painful stories from her grandfather. She not only heard Red Oquirrh’s stories, she also listen to and recorded the stories of other survivors; she spoke, presented and lobbied in Boise, Salt Lake City and in Washington, D.C.; and she advised other historians, including Brigham Madsen and Scott R. Christensen (both listed in the recommended readings section). And like her grandfather, Mae told her stories to her children and grandchildren.
Mae, as Darren Parry describes her, “ran out of time,” and was unable to take her notebooks and do her final work, that is publish her accounts, her people’s stories, their perspectives, their knowing, regarding the massacre. Darren Parry speaks to senior public historian Brad Westwood, about his book, his loving story of his grandmother, the Timbimboos and the Parrys, and most importantly, about his people who died, and those who survived, the massacre on January 29, 1863 on Boa Ogoi.

“Historic Prophecies & Timelines for the Saints Return to Jackson County to Build Zion”
The establishment of Zion in Jackson County Missouri has been taught to the Saints from youth. One could say it is in our Israelite DNA to build Zion. Who knows when we’ll return there? Who will go there? What will have to happen for the call to go forth?
A Revelation in July 1831 identified that Missouri was “consecrated for the gathering of the saint” was “the land of promise, and the place for the city of Zion” and Independence was the “Center Place” for building the Temple complex(D&C 57). But Latter-Day-Saint history has so far shown Jackson County as a place of violence and evil against the saints. Missouri Executive order 44 called for the Mormons to be “exterminated or driven from the state”. What a harsh contrast to God’s original plan. Does the revelation still stand? We unitedly say Yes!
The “Yellow Dog” quote about Jackson County being “Cleansed” may have already taken place! Have the saints realized it’s prophetic fulfilment or is it still future? How much does the Return to Jackson County event mold LDS actions today?
From history there are scriptures, revelations, dreams, prophetic talks and more that reveal the return to Jackson County for prepared Saints. Come see these words come to life and understand the timeline of important events that will take place as we hitchhike our way back to Zion.
David Patrick lives in Southern Utah where he has raised his family. He has over 20 years of experience marketing and operating a financial services business. He served an LDS mission to the Japanese and found it to be one of the most important experiences of his life as it pointed him solidly to Christ.

2022 Title of presentation:
How adversity can teach us to listen to the Holy Spirit. One Child of God’s journeys through the darkness into the Light.
I grew up in the barrios of Los Angeles and escaped by enlisting in the Army in 1968 and volunteering to go to . Vietnam. In the Army I trained as a Combat Engineer and those principals have stayed with me for 54 years. After 8 years in the Army I moved back to Alaska where I had spent 50 months of my Army enlistment after my combat tour in Vietnam. I spent 28 years living the Alaskan dream, where I learned self-reliance. I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1982 in the Alaskan village of Tanana on the banks of the Yukon River 150 miles from Fairbanks, Alaska as the raven flies. After 28 years in Alaska we moved to the Big Island of Hawaii and ran a successful auto repair business on the Kona side of the island for 15 years. While in Hawaii I served in many Church callings in ward and stake positions. Now I split my time between the mountains of Puerto Rico in the winter and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan the rest of the year. While in Hawaii I became a practitioner of Korean Natural Farming and use those techniques on my gardens in Puerto Rico and Michigan. I also harvest wild medicinal plants in both locations.
A Soldiers Conversion Story “God did intervene in a young man’s life just as he did for Joseph Smith.” Now I can hear the rounds hitting around me, throwing up dirt, and I am burying the right side of my face into the ground to make myself as small a target as possible. Everything is slowing down; it feels like I’m trapped in a cold dark box and can’t get out. My breathing is slow and shallow; I’m sweating profusely but freezing cold. A voice yells, “Get up and run for your life or you will die here! It’s not worth it. Run now!” But I know if I get up and run it would surely be the end of me. Pray, you know how to pray; your grandparents taught you how. You heard plenty of earnest prayers from the lips of your grandparents.
“Please Jesus”, I begin, “help me out of this. I promise I will do whatever you require of me if you will just save me from this”. A more earnest prayer I have never said in my life. No blame of God escapes my lips as when I was younger, just a promise to serve him when he asks me to serve, a promise that I am trying to keep to this day even though I am imperfect… “Man”, he said, “there are satchel charges all around you. I’m not going anywhere near one of those things.” As we lay waiting and the sun rose, I saw around me many small packages the size of an airmail envelope. Whether they were already there when I first arrived or were thrown at me during the night I don’t know, but none had gone off and I had miraculously managed not to lay down on one…
Now they were removing the guns, gear, radios and pieces of Case’s body from the track. I saw Big John holding a piece of body fat between his fingers in a piece of paper while the other hand held a handkerchief over his nose. The stench of burned human flesh and diesel is an odor I will never forget. I had gone thru my baptism of fire, my refiner’s fire. God took a young boy and made him into a soldier, a calling that I knew I was born to do. I had faith that I would come through this in one piece.” Richard Perea

Derrick Peterson- Author, Speaker, Warrior for Christ
April 2023 Presentation
The Language of God—Rediscovering the Lost Art of Prayer
Are you waiting for God to stretch forth his hand and work miracles in your lives, or is God waiting for us to take His hand? Once we learn His language we will get so much more in our life. We’ll experience miracles, divine intervention, unexpected resources, people coming into our lives with help or solutions, healing, and many more. These are just some of amazing gifts God has waiting for us, if we take his hand and unveil the mysteries of God’s energy in our lives.
Our presentation today is going to break down the language of God and how to speak it, through various techniques and empowering our prayers. We don’t speak to God through our words, but by our beliefs or inner desires that we spiritually embrace. Wise Solomon taught it this way. For as he thinketh in his heart so is he. (Proverbs 23:7)
We’ll get into the science of what is happening inside our body while we use these techniques.
Next, we will follow the energy throughout our bodies identifying which parts are activated. We’ll speak of the experience both in terms of the words of Christ and the understanding of the scientific method.
Then we will cover how this was used throughout the Bible, Joseph Smith’s life, and is even being used today by each and every one of us to create the experience we call our lives, and how they can be improved.
Lastly, we will open up the floor for Q&A
Derrick Peterson is an electrician, tire man, welder, carpenter, masonry worker, studier of the Bible & Book of Mormon, aspiring author, loving husband, warrior for Christ, seeker of Truth, and most recently a father. While he manages energy as an electrician is his full-time work and having a growing family is a great responsibility he invests his spare time into study and writing on inspiring subjects. His first book ENERY UNVEILED is the organization of many cutting-edge scientific studies combined with ancient wisdom which reveal just how God’s energy is working for us in miraculous ways. We need only learn the language. Derrick is available for speaking by emailing [email protected] or by calling 775-277-1402.
James G. (Jim) Phillips, Jr. — Preparedness/ Survival Authority, Nationally known Speaker and Teacher 
April 2022 Presentations:
Cold Weather Supplies;
It’s What You Don’t Know That Will Kill You!
How Do You Find Out What You Don’t Know, When You Don’t Know What It Is That You Don’t Know? Is this a word trap without a solution, therefore it’s best to not get all stressed out about it? There ARE answers if you want them. This class will show you how and where to look for them
The Question is, What If and then What? It’s what you don’t know that will kill you (or get you sick, lost, scared, hurt, or kill someone else). Since you don’t know what you don’t know, how do you figure out what you don’t know—should you even bother to worry about it. If you have a purpose beyond taking up space and spewing forth carbon dioxide to feed the roses, and being prepared to face the future with hope and confidence despite all that’s going on; you need an organized structure for everything you need to Learn, Do and Have.
Jim Phillips is a nationally known speaker and teacher who has taught thousands of classes all across North America for over 45 years. Jim is a strong advocate of self-reliant living and family preparedness. He developed an entire curriculum by asking himself, “What if?” and then set out to discover what actually does and does not work. The answers he seeks (and then teaches) must be based on correct principles derived from firsthand experience. Above all else, he believes that attitude and practical knowledge are more critical to survival than having a bunch of “stuff.” He says, “Who you are and what you know is more important than what you have”, and that you’ll need a powerful positive purpose to focus on to get through serious challenges. James G. (Jim) Phillips, Jr. — Preparedness/ Survival Authority Jim Phillips has been referred to as “A Friend and Advocate of Winter”, “The Man Who Loves the Cold”, and a “World-class Sub-zero Survival Guru”. Jim’s specialties actually include all aspects of Personal and Family Preparedness as well as Winter/ Arctic Living and Safety. Jim promotes, “creating a culture of preparedness in a changing world” with the focus to teach families a principle-based approach to true preparedness that enables them to meet “all eventualities” without fear. Jim and his father, the late J. G. Phillips, Sr., developed and perfected a new approach and technology for cold weather living and safety. Their system of clothing, equipment, and doctrine is known as PALS (Phillips Arctic Living System). Their experiences and the principles they developed have been featured in dozens of printed publications and broadcast appearances, and Jim continues to deliver public-service lectures and presentations to organizations of all types.
Jim started his first part-time business in 1970, from which spawned a number of ventures and several U.S. and foreign patents. Jim is sought after as an advisor and mentor for cold weather clothing, equipment, safety principles, and survival training/ preparedness by numerous national and international concerns. His Winter Industrial Safety Training™ has been customized for classroom and field experience, and he consults on product evaluation and development for cold weather living, winter safety/ survival, general preparedness, and self-reliant living. Jim has established and built a career founded on his cumulative experience and knowledge without compromising his commitments and principles.
He and his wife, Linda, have been married for 50 years, they have nine children, currently 29 grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. Jim and Linda work closely together to constantly encourage and assist others in having their own personal successes. Jim has authored and teaches multiple unique and detailed classes in the areas of (1) personal and family preparedness and self-reliance, (2) winter safety and survival, and (3) personal development. His classes are different than the standard “cookbook” approach and how-to-do lists; Jim’s are principle-based courses teaching how and why things work so the individual will understand what to do in the dynamic situations of life.
Jim enjoys changing people’s beliefs and attitudes about winter and motivating them to enjoy it in ways never before imagined. He has a passion for life and is excited about the success and achievement of others. He loves to motivate people to never lose their vision, never give up positive hope, never quit, all the while remaining flexible, teachable, changeable, and compassionate. His greatest excitement comes from helping others find the courage and commitment to do what it takes to live out their dreams.
According to Jim Phillips, “There is no doubt that tomorrow will come, and there is no dispute that things happen. But how you are prepared to meet tomorrow will make all the difference in the world. If you are prepared for the worst, then no matter what happens it will be an adventure!” He regularly reminds everyone that, “Our lives were created to be a grand adventures of learning, growth and long-term development, to become far more than we were in the beginning.”

Kevin Price, PhD biogeography (plant ecology) Botany and Biogeography Scientist
Presentation Oct 2022
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THE LOCATION OF THE ZARAHEMLA TEMPLE SITE AND POSSIBLE CITY AREA
Dr. Kevin Price and Wayne May
The Land of Promise, Uncovering Ancient America research group is focused on Book of Mormon Geography and Archaeology. The group, lead by Wayne May, presents the parallels between the Book of Mormon and the Hopewell (Nephite) peoples. Our primary focus is on collecting spiritual and scientific evidence leading to the discoveries of Book of Mormon geographical settings with our eyes firmly set on finding the location of the Nephite/Mulekite capital city of Zarahemla. We believe in the revelations and teaching of Joseph Smith and other early church leaders on this matter. We believe D&C 125:3 contains the Lord’s words to Joseph Smith as to the location of this great city.
In 2010, the ancient Zarahemla Temple site was located on the west bank of the Mississippi (Sidon) River directly across from the Nauvoo Temple. Since its discovery, many hours of volunteer work have been conducted by those interested in collecting scientific data supporting the location of the Zarahemla Temple site.
During the presentation, Dr. Price will present the scientific evidences supporting the location of the temple site. He will also teach about a living artifact (plant) of the Nephites found growing on the site and its amazing medicinal qualities as described in Alma 46:40 LDS (Alma 21:75-76 RLDS).
It was recently decided that the original Heartland Research Group needed to be divided into two groups – the “Heartland Research Group” and the “Land of Promise, Uncovering Ancient America.” The primary focus of the Heartland Research Group is on the restoration of a ship called the Phoenicia and this group is no longer associated with Wayne May or his efforts. The Land of Promise – Uncovering Ancient America is the new Wayne May group, and its focus remains on Book of Mormon geography and archaeology in North America. The group’s focus at this time is on the ancient City of Zarahemla, where we used ultra-high resolution (~ 4 inch) Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) imagery to find a 4.5-mile ancient wall hidden under the forest canopy near Montrose, Iowa (the proposed central location of the City of Zarahemla). It is exciting that we may have found the ancient defensive wall constructed under the orders of Captain Moroni as described in:
Alma 50:1-3
1 And now it came to pass that Moroni did not stop making preparations for war, or to defend his people against the Lamanites; for he caused that his armies should commence in the commencement of the twentieth year of the reign of the judges, that they should commence in digging up heaps of earth round about all the cities, throughout all the land which was possessed by the Nephites.
2 And upon the top of these ridges of earth he caused that there should be timbers, yea, works of timbers built up to the height of a man, round about the cities.
3 And he caused that upon those works of timbers there should be a frame of pickets built upon the timbers round about; and they were strong and high.

Dr. Kevin Price grew up in the small town of Green River, Utah (watermelon country). He served as a missionary for two years in the California, Anaheim mission under the leadership of Elder Rex C. Reeves. He attended Rick’s College (now BYU-Idaho), then transferred to BYU in Provo where he met his wife, Melinda and was married in the Salt Lake Temple. He has two daughters; Kaylie is director of marketing for a company in Wisconsin and Julia is in her last semester at BYU in the School of Business. Kevin severed in his Kansas ward as the High Priest’s Group Leader, Gospel Doctrine Instructor and Secretary to the Young Men’s program. He now serves as the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator.
He did his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at BYU in Rangeland Ecology and Ph.D. at the University of Utah in Geography specializing in biogeography (plant ecology), remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) (or computerized mapping and analysis). He was a professor for 3 years at Utah State University, 19 years at the University of Kansas and 6 years at Kansas State University. He has conducted research throughout the world and has been the Keynote or Invited speaker on drone applications in agriculture and natural resource management throughout the world at over 100 conferences. He served as a scientific advisor to NASA, NOAA and a former US Secretary of State.
Kevin is currently the Chief Emerging Technologies Officer for Air Data Solutions with offices throughout the US. He analyzes drone and airplane acquired imagery including natural color, color infrared, thermal and LiDAR.
During his presentation he will introduce attendees to emerging mapping technologies and demonstrate how they can be applied to a variety of challenges with emphasis in archaeology. His ultimate desire is to help find the Great City of Zarahemla which he believes to be in the US. Kevin Price [email protected] Cell: 785-393-5428

Lenet Hadley Read Author & Lecturer
Presentation
My Title is: “The Powerful Word of Wisdom: a Sign of Your Consecration”
After years of searching, Lenet has found surprising, satisfactory, and uplifting answers to many challenging questions. These include questions about: * Why Polygamy for a time? *Who are the Sons of Levi and what is their offering of righteousness? *How did Asian DNA come to the Americas? *Why are the dying testimonies of the three witnesses so powerful? * Why did Joseph need to “study it out in his mind” to translate? *Why is the Moundbuilder culture important to all Americans? *When was Jesus born and why is that significant? * Why do many youth leave their religious traditions and why is it concerning?
Lenet not only gives helpful answers, but demonstrates the way to find answers. Lenet Read is a much published author whose four books, over twenty articles, web site and scriptural blog have led thousands to greater scriptural understanding. Her articles in The Ensign and other publications have revealed much scriptural symbolism. She’s shown how Israelite Holy Days were prophetic, even pointing to the exact day of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. (See Annotated Book of Mormon, p. xix). Her Ensign Series and subsequent book How We Got the Bible is still available as an e-book through Deseret Book. Her website: https://thefinaldaysofawe.com, has videos of (1) How the Bible is a great Chiasm, with Christ’s Death on the Cross its turning point; (2) More Insights about The Final Days of Awe; and (3) Seven Biblical Prophecies of the Book of Mormon. (Videos also posted on YouTube).
Her scriptural blog: sriptureslenethread.blogspot.com is featured on ldsgospeldoctrine.net. Lenet Read graduated from BYU with a B.A. in English, and did Post Graduate Studies in Religion at the University of Florida. She has spoken at Education Week, CES Symposiums, and various conferences. She has served as both Ward and Stake Relief Society Presidents, has taught Gospel Doctrine in more than one ward, and Institute in two regions. She is currently a Temple Ordinance Worker and a Ward Temple and Family History Consultant. She has been blessed with five children, twenty-three grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
David Read Patent Attorney, JD
April 2023 Presentations:Updates on DNA and Joseph of Egypt
The Bat Creek Stone Debate
Despite popular belief, the currently available DNA evidence supports the Book of Mormon. Critics who attempt to rely on DNA evidence to attack the truth of the Book of Mormon misinterpret or misconstrue what the DNA evidence actually shows. In this presentation, Mr. Read will present more DNA evidence that has recently come to light supporting Book of Mormon claims.
As one example, Mr. Read will discuss further scientific studies which again confirm that mitochondrial DNA haplogroup X (previously publicized by Rod Meldrum) is found among Native Americans and originated in the Middle East. Indeed, one recent study found a variety of haplogroup X in Egypt that is just four mutations away from the type found in Native Americans, which undermines the critics’ previous claims that Native American haplotype X2a has “too many mutations” from the haplogroup X haplotypes found in the Middle East to fit a Book of Mormon timeframe for a migration from the Middle East to the Americas.
Mr. Read will also present new DNA evidence regarding Y DNA haplogroup R, which is a second non-Asian DNA type found in large numbers among some Native American groups. Mr. Read will present evidence showing that this non-Asian DNA type also predates Columbus and has a distribution pattern in common with haplogroup X. This means that there is now a second and separate line of DNA evidence that corroborates the haplogroup X information and is again consistent with the Book of Mormon.
David possesses many intellectual interests. Before finishing his juris doctorate in law and becoming a patent attorney and later a judge, he earned undergraduate degrees in chemistry and philosophy. Over the past 10 years, he has completed a considerable amount of research into the historical authenticity of the Book of Mormon with a particular emphasis on DNA evidence related to the Book of Mormon. Through this research, he has recently uncovered additional DNA evidence that corroborates and supports the historical authenticity of the Book of Mormon.
David is an accomplished researcher. Over his career as a patent attorney, he has collaborated with inventors in numerous scientific fields. These include pharmaceuticals, medical devices, firearms, computer software, hybrid vehicles, battery technologies, pollution control technologies, textile manufacturing equipment, diesel and gasoline engines, chemical testing equipment, agricultural chemicals, turbocharging systems, fuels, coal gasification, and power plant technologies. In each of these areas, he researched and came up to speed on the state-of-the-art knowledge in the field to thoroughly understand the new invention and the scientific consensus, interacted with experts in that field, and assessed and argued whether an invention was new or would be obvious to other experts in that scientific field. His work required him to reliably evaluate the state of established scientific knowledge in various scientific fields. He has taken that experience and applied it here to the DNA evidence related to Native Americans.
David lives in Michigan. He and his wife Barbara have five children: Amy, Charlotte, Sarah, Seth, and Matthew. David currently serves as the Sunday School President in his ward.

Gavin Rich Bio-
Over 25 years’ experience in first aid and safety. One of the original creators of Shield-Safety. Helped create the newest first aid kit designs and the newest technology for sprains and strains. Also helped create the most advanced first aid training called Advanced Injury Treatment Training and has trained doctors, nurses, EMT’s and safety directors in Utah and across the country. Has helped businesses and families save thousands on medical costs through their training, unique products and education classes because of injuries on and off the job. Worked 15 years as a sales representative, safety trainer/consultant, and sales manager at Zee Medical. Has attended OSHA 501 courses and helped advise many customers as a safety consultant. Has worked with BYU, University of Utah, the LDS Church, Rocky Mountain Power, The Dannon Company, Western Area Power, Clyde Companies and many more.
About Us-
The owners of Shield-Safety came from 35 years experience as the leaders in the industrial first aid and safety market as Zee Medical, America’s Workplace Safety Expert. After the passing of their father and mentor J. Milton Rich they decided to fulfill his life-long vision to change first aid and safety in the home.
The founders are experts in the field of first aid or “injury care” which is how they refer to what they do. Shield-Safety has developed a specialized approach to reducing the significant cost of accidental injury to businesses in the U.S. by reaching the problem at it’s source, in the minds and hearts of our families. The heart is in the home and it’s here that we begin to educate and train employees how to think differently about safety and injury care.
As of now the industry has been effective in training employees to think and work safely at work. However since this mindset is tied specifically to work, time spent at home is now by far the greatest source of injury.
Through the Injury Care Training program Shield-Safety has been able to change this mindset and get employees to start thinking about the cost of accidents at home, traveling or at play. This is having an incredible impact on the real costs that injuries cause business.

John Redman- B.S. degree in Physics, M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, M.S. degree in Imaging and Color Science
Oct 2022 Presentation:
The Origin of Man: Heavenly Father or Darwin?
TOPIC SUMMARY:
Some Latter-day Saints have been deceived into believing in organic evolution. The purpose of this presentation is to provide the reader with a basic understanding of how evolution works and why it is restrained to microevolution, the small adaptations in life forms. Evolution is entirely incapable of creating significantly different life forms, i.e., macroevolution.
Key doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, such as the Divine Creation, the Fall of Adam and Eve, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, directly refute the presuppositions of organic evolution. Consequently, the implications of evolution will be compared with these doctrines and others. The author was a senior pilot, college-level physics instructor, and senior engineer/manager in high-tech for over 40 years.
In contrast with academic experience, experience as a pilot and as an engineer provide a unique perspective on how difficult it is to purposefully design modern electro-optical-mechanical systems, let alone, design an autonomous, self-replicating, self-repairing, sensing living organism using a purposeless, chance-based, trial-and-error process
BIO:
John Redman has a B.S. degree in Physics from the USAF Academy, an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University, and an M.S. degree in Imaging and Color Science from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He spent 10 years in the US Air Force as a Senior Pilot and a Physics Instructor at the USAF Academy. Subsequently, he spent 32 years working at Hewlett-Packard (HP) at multiple levels of engineering and management in all aspects of product research and development. John is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he has taught in various settings for over 40 years. He and his wife, Pam, have been married for 50 years and have seven children.
Presentation – “The Two-Cumorah Solution for a Flawed Book of Mormon Geography Model: 1844 – 1924” PRESENTATION: “THE TWO-CUMORAH SOLUTION”
As an Analyst for an International Bank for the past eleven years, Steve has a penchant for solving problems. He doesn’t accept the current dogma by Book of Mormon Scholars, despite their advanced degrees, claiming that the Prophet Joseph Smith learned the geography of The Book of Mormon from a travel book with pictures, published in 1842 by John Lloyd Stephens. (A travel book with pictures? Seriously? Is that the best analysis you’ve got?) Then Book of Mormon geography miraculously turned into a restricted Mesoamerica setting with the original Hill Cumorah, not in New York, but located somewhere in Central America. With extra time available by working from home during the 2020 Pandemic and while lounging on his sofa using an iPad and an Internet search engine, Steve learned the true origin of the Mesoamerica Two-Cumorah Geography theory for The Book of Mormon.
It’s simple. And it’s all online. All of it! You don’t need a library of scholarly books to understand it. In this simple analytical 40-minute presentation, Steve will cover an 80-year time period starting with the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1844, who had nothing to do with the Two-Cumorah Theory for The Book of Mormon and ending in 1924. You will be shown how the Two-Cumorah idea was actually a solution for a previously flawed geography model which placed The Book of Mormon in Central and in South America. Watch this presentation. You will learn who actually created the Two-Cumorah Theory for The Book of Mormon. It may surprise you. You will also be able to access the same online documents Steve found, while lounging on your own sofa. It’s that easy. No scholars required. After completing a two-year mission in Venezuela, Steve returned to BYU and graduated with a degree in Business Management and Finance. He currently resides in Mesa, Arizona. Stephen would like to thank in advance, Jonathan Neville, for his kind encouragement and support. Brother Neville stated in an email: “You’ve done some great original research people need to know about.
Leslie Pearson Rees Gospel Researcher, Teacher, Speaker, and Author Presentation: Ye Have Been Hid Finding the Lost Tribes of Israel Part 2 
Leslie Pearson Rees was born in Moab, UT, and now lives in Draper. The mother of 10, grandmother of 37 and great-grandmother of 12, she and her husband raised their family while moving all around this great country, living in many different states. She has spent much of her life on her passion, studying the scriptures and history, and developed a deep love for both. She served in four different Relief Society Presidencies, but spent more than thirty years teaching Gospel Doctrine classes in many different wards.
A highlight of her life was serving as Assistant to the Matron of the Ghana, Accra temple, while her husband served as a Counselor in the Presidency from 2006 to 2008. While still in her teens, Leslie became fascinated with the large amount of information on the scattering and gathering of Israel that is found in the scriptures. She then began collecting numerous accounts of many people who claimed descent from those of the ancient northern Kingdom of Israel, followed by those from the nation of Judah. She has presented lectures on this subject in a number of different states, and finally put many of her findings from scripture, history and legend, into a book, Ye Have Been Hid: Finding the Lost Tribes of Israel. Her family, the scriptures, Church history (especially Heartland discoveries), and some amateur sculpting remain her foremost interests in life. Her family and her testimony of the Restored Gospel are her greatest treasures.
Oct 2022 Presentation: Proofs of Noah’s Flood: Universal Model Geology
He will be covering subjects such as fossils in the Grand Canyon, the layer at which fossils are found, the stratification & arrangement of fossil finds, the conditions necessary to form fossils, the most abundant fossil, where fossils are being formed today, the geological column, skull variations, and more. This presentation will be helpful for both the novice and the scholar.

[email protected] Debbi S. Rollo loves America and is passionate about promoting freedom, individual rights, and liberty for all. She is a former homeschooler, and enjoys finding creative ways to make things that are difficult to understand fun, interesting, and enjoyable. Debbi wrote her U.S. Constitution Rhyme books to promote the reading of the Constitution, bringing clarity and interest to it through rhymes.

As we witness the moral and political decline of our nation, along with the loss of our precious liberties, we can find hope in the principles and values upon which the U.S. Constitution was founded. It is the preservation of these values that is needed, regardless of what calamities may arise. As long as there is a moral, liberty-minded people who stand for truth, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, there is hope. Hope that whatever hardships we are called to endure, those who are grounded in faith, truth, and the VALUES OF THE CONSTITUTION, will be prepared with clarity of mind, conviction of soul, and strength, as we witness the further decline of this great nation.Debbi’s Books and the Links below:

Michael B. Rush: Speaker, Author, Timeline Research
Michael Rush Bio Michael Rush grew up between the Rocky Mountains, and Central California’s Gold Coast. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile, Osorno. Michael graduated from BYU with a degree in accounting, and began his career in San Francisco working for Ernst & Young. From there, Michael spent most of his career working for Nucor Steel, as the VP of Finance for their recycling division in the western United States. Nucor is America’s largest recycler. Michael currently works as the CFO for a private equity portfolio company based out of New York City and lives in central Tennessee. Michael has always had an affinity for the House of Israel, and wrote his first bestselling book – A Remnant Shall Return in 2015. That book has since inspired people in over 130 countries across the globe to learn more about the covenants and promises the Lord has made to restore the House of Israel in the last days. Since his first book Michael has written three other books, Daniel 11, Revelation – the Vision of John the Divine, and Delight in Plainness – Nephi & Isaiah. The primary purpose behind Michael’s writings is to help people to understand the ancient prophecies pertaining the House of Israel, and how those promises will shape the world in remarkable ways. Michael believes that if you do not understand the covenants and promises regarding the House of Israel, you are not prepared for what is about to take place upon the earth.
Ezra’s Eagle Video Description In this presentation, Michael Rush discusses the vision of Ezra’s Eagle from 2nd Esdras in the Apocrypha. The Lord told Joseph Smith that the Apocrypha was mostly correct and that it would benefit those that would study it in the light of the Spirit. The vision of Ezra’s Eagle is a prophecy about the Whore of Babylon’s rise to power, and how her influence will be felt by the nations of the earth in the last days. It is a timely prophecy that is as current as today’s headlines.
The House of Israel Video Description In this presentation, Michael Rush provides a sweeping overview of the history of the House of Israel and the covenants and promises that the Lord has made. Most people think about the House of Israel in the context of missionary work, gathering Israel on both sides of the veil. The 10th article of faith speaks of two components of this great latter-day work, the literal gathering of Israel, and the restoration of the lost tribes. Michael explains the difference between the two. The restoration of the House of Israel is prophesied to be more spectacular than the Exodus of Egypt. This presentation will place the seeker of truth on an incredible path of discovery!
The City of Enoch and the Context of the Last days Video Description In this presentation, Michael discusses the need to search and ponder the scriptures in meaningful ways. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus discovered that they only had a cursory knowledge of the scriptures, there is much that we do not understand because we have not sought for understanding. Michael uses several scriptures regarding the City of Enoch and the New Jerusalem to demonstrate that there is much more to the events of the last days than most have ever considered. Michael then provides a contextual background for the events of the last days.
Adam Salisbury- Data and Analytics, Children’s Equipment
April Presentation
Thurs. April 18, 8 to 9 PM
Gaining Protection Through the Armor of God
Adam grew up in Ohio. He served a mission in Moscow, Russia. During that time he was in Kazakhstan it was there when the patriarch came for the first time. I was the patriarch’s companion and he named 10 of the 12 tribes while there.
Adam graduated from BYU and spent most of his career in the data and analytics field. He has been working with a company that is a children’s exercise program. It’s superhero themed to help motivate the youth to train hard and burn some calories while having fun.
He has spent quite a bit of time studying the armor of God and that is what his present is on. The presentation will start out by talking about how we have a God who is not passive, but is actively fighting for us. We can see through the scriptures that God and Jesus fight for those who follow them. He’ll talk about how we’re in a real war today, and that spiritual war from heaven is still raging on, hence the need for the armor of God.
Adam with then transition into talking about David and Goliath by sharing some interesting facts about the armor Goliath wore, and then the armor David tried to wear. Ultimately David decided that he would wear God’s armor instead of Saul’s armor and was victorious.
Adam will go through each of the pieces of armor, what they mean, what they protect, and why we need them. He will build on the metaphor to talk about how each piece is vital to this battle.
The end will be encouraging the group to check their spiritual armor because from here, the fighting is only going to get more intense.

Darin Scott- Actor, Producer, Writer, Director. New Film “The Oath”
2022 April Presentation
*First Showing of “The Oath”
Sat. April 9th 8pm to 9:30
Darin Scott is a man on a mission. As director, writer, producer, and actor, his whole focus and passion has famously been pointed at making a Hollywood-quality, LDS-values movie about Captain Moroni a reality. It is apparent that he is for real and he won’t rest until the message of liberty and the Book of Mormon had been spread through this film.
To do this story right, he could not hand the reigns over to Hollywood. Creative control needed to stay with those who’d do the story right. That means raising his own funds. His wildly successful first Kickstarter allowed him to make a spine-tingly good short concept film with real Hollywood talent (including Ben Cross, Karina Lombard, and Eugene Brave Rock). Now Southam is back, and has hit a homerun with “The Oath”.
*Please be aware Darin is doing this especially for The FIRM Foundation. He may only have a few clips of The Oath or may not be able to show anything. He is working hard for us. *PLEASE UNDERSTAND

PresentationDescription: If there’s one thing I’ve learned since starting The Lionheart Movement, and observing the people who’ve been a part of it, it’s that in any given set of circumstances we always have a choice; we can choose to be free. Even in the face of life’s hardest trials God has given us the ability to reach and hope for something greater. “Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh… to choose liberty and eternal life through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death…” (2 Nephi 2:11.) As a speaker, this is what I teach. It’s a message that’s simple, but yet so difficult to remember when we find ourselves in the midst of trials. I teach it however, because I’ve come to understand that at the end of the day, every principle of mortal influence comes down the choices we make. You have a choice; choose to be free.

PRESENTATION TITLE:
How do we become like a Rebekah and Isaac- using the Book of Mormon?
DESCRIPTION:
As parents we have a responsibility to send Isaac’s and Rebekah’s forth from every home. Likewise what is daughter’s responsibility in becoming a mother of “hundreds of millions” and an Isaac a “father of nations?”
Come listen to this daughter with her mother share how the Book of Mormon has the answers for both questions as they share scriptures, stories and a testimony on the importance of this work in the home.

Steven Edgar Smoot is President of the Family First Foundation and President of Excel Investment Corporation and Watchman Properties. He is Author of the book, Lost American Antiquities a Hidden History and co-producer of many documentaries, the two most known documentaries are The Lost Civilizations of North America and Demographic Winter the Decline of the Human Family. He has been an invited speaker on the Decline of the Human Family and Demographics at the European Union and at many World Congress of Families events worldwide. Steven has also spoken at many ancient origin conference’s on the silence and science surrounding America’s ancient civilizations. Answering the why, how and who questions as to why we haven’t heard more about these ancient mound building cultures.
Steven will also be sharing findings showing how migration patterns and the trading of precious metals, tobacco and Indian slaves can answer an age old question as to how religious teachings and practices became common to ancient cultures on many continents. Inter-twined through each of his documentaries is a common thread that shows that society cannot always rely on today’s scientific and academic communities for scholarly truths. One would think that by using scientific methods that scientists would be encouraged to follow the evidences wherever they may lead and in time come to a truthful conclusion. But since the mid 1800’s as these documentaries reveal, Social Engineers have learned that they can use the sciences and their influential political positions as a powerful tool to crush dissent on the origin and evolution of man and a myriad of other social and political issues.

Eldon Stahl- Recruiter, Volunteer, Field Coordinator John Birch Society
Oct 21 2022 Presentation: 2 pmThe Article V Convention Lobby, Unmasked
Eldon Stahl has been organizing, recruiting, and training volunteers since 2006 when he began working for the Boy Scouts of America. He came on staff with as a Field Coordinator with The John Birch Society in 2010 in South Dakota at the height of the TEA Party movement. He served as Coordinator for a candidate for US Senate briefly, then returned to JBS staff, where he has coordinated volunteer efforts in five states. During this time, he has been able to observe and analyze the tactics used by various groups trying to trigger a process of changing the US Constitution through proposing those amendments at a special convention–a process never done before in the history of our Republic. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and resides in Wyoming with his beautiful wife, Yulia, and their three amazing children.
Mr. Stahl’s talk, “The Article V Convention Lobby, Unmasked,” exposes a series of deceptive tactics, strategies, and claims used by lobbying organizations to achieve a first-ever Constitutional Convention under the authority of the fifth article of the US Constitution. Using the lobbyists’ own words, Mr. Stahl’s talk makes the case that state legislators are being lobbied in bad faith for a convention, that they should rescind any existing applications for an Article V Convention, and ought to reject any new applications. The presentation concludes by briefly covering real solutions concerned patriots can take to rein in the federal government.
Eldon has authored a number of articles for volunteers in publications for The John Birch Society and the local Boy Scouts Council where he served.

Theists or Atheists should test Precepts for Gospel. For God will proof Faith through distillation ~ Dr. Spinja
When Jayson was born on March 7, 1962, in Fairfield, California, his father, Eugene, was 29 and his mother, Dorothy, was 30. They moved and lived around the world in the USAF quite a bit. He has three brothers and three sisters. As a young man he enlisted as a reservist in the USAF 508 TFG at Hill A.F.B. Then served a successful LDS Mission in Central Coast California, then returned to the Reserve Unit, helped transition to the 419 TFW as he attended USU in Logan entering the R.O.T.C. to follow his dream to fly fighters. Plans are sometimes changed for the better. And soon after he married Clarice Larkin and they have four wonderful children together. Life changes, he also has a child with Natalie Brown after remarrying. They all call him Daddy. Life changes and he is known by his six grandchildren as Papa Stump.
Having traveled and lived around the Pacific Islands and Rim, Scandinavia, and other places he has found love for all his Human extended family and fellow beings. Being an eighteen month missionary and in the MTC the same time as Rod Meldrum they have shared great stories working on a few projects together about serving compressed time missions, GOD’S love and care for his children, faith, and evidence of all that.
He finally earned his MBA in Two Thousand Two and has successfully founded, run, and continues to consult successful business venture’s CPI efforts. While serving in the Air Force, Boy Scouts, Church Organizations, Business operations, and Field research subjective and quantitative studies, he gains insights into the Organizational Behaviour of people and finds that there are repeatable patterns, stories or thematic evidences throughout history.
These things, or let’s call them human life cycle phenomena are foundational to healthy and happy, peaceful living as taught by Scripture, History and civilizations. Before the collapse of empires, countries, kingdoms, cities throughout this world on this beautiful Planet Earth. These patterns are found, documented, taught, lived and then eroded, or abandoned. They are commonly recognized or known and warned against as the pride cycle in modern day scripture.
During the latest China Flu variants and so on and so forth, he was encouraged to correlate many seemingly disconnected ancient historical evidences spread throughout All the Land. Yes “ALL” the land. Being influenced by people, born of goodly parents has only continued to “encourage” him to search, dream, correlate loosely, the experiences of his life’s Journey and to weave them like Native Wampum into his epistemology, some may infer a cognitive dissonance in his experiences, he would say history is still being written. . . Is there such a construct as cognative resonance? If so this seems to be the paradigm shift he describes © 2023 Doc.Spinja

The 5 Food Killers – How to know if your emergency food will last 25 years or not
Whether you’ve been doing preparedness for 30 years or just getting started, you’ll save 100s of hours of research and learn principles in this class that will change the way you do your food storage!
When it comes to emergency preparedness, there are 2 things you NEVER take chances on: Food and Water. Everything else, like sanitation, heating, cooling, light, shelter, etc. could be created during an emergency (if needs be). But, if you don’t have the right foods or clean water ahead of time, you won’t find them in the supermarket if things get desperate enough.
In this class, you will learn how to do food storage the right way, the first time!
Come learn why “mylar” pouches may not be the best solution for your long-term storage, why many pre-made meals spoil long before their 25-year shelf-life claims, how and where to store your foods, and which foods will preserve long-term and which ones won’t (the answers may surprise you).
Marcello Surjopolos is a Pioneer in Emergency Preparedness research and implementation and is passionate about helping others get prepared the right way. He has worked with the U.S. Special Military Operations, Large Retailers, Corporations, Celebrities, Churches, Hospitals, Government entities of all sizes, and 1000s of Families worldwide to prepare for emergencies.
Marcello is the owner of Food Storage Depot (the largest Emergency Preparedness Retail Store in Utah) and FoodStorageDepot.com. He also owns Puravai Emergency Water (the longest lasting emergency water in the world), Ready Harvest foods, and is the creator of the Thrivalist Master Course (the 7 Steps of Emergency Preparedness).
Marcello’s background as a consultant, a first responder, a manufacturer, and an owner of several emergency preparedness companies has given him a unique view into what products, services, and practices will actually work during emergencies and consequently how to save the lives of your loved ones during an actual crisis.
In the confusing world of preparedness, it’s refreshing to have an emergency preparedness expert like Marcello break through all the confusing (even contradictory) clutter, save you years of research, and help you avoid $1000s in needless (but very common) emergency preparedness mistakes most people make.

It is our privilege to have Martin Tanner as our special guest at this conference. As many of you have listened to him on the radio for years, you know he is always fair, well versed in many subjects, and defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ with his entire soul. What makes him unique to our conference is that he believes the Book of Mormon events happened in Mesoamerica. I think it is awesome that he has agreed to share his reasons why with our group. I feel there is too much wrangling back and forth on who is right and who is wrong about geography. We all love the Book of Mormon and we should love and respect each other. Thank you Martin for stepping up to the plate and sharing with us.

Roland L Thompson- Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather
April 2023 Presentation:
Your Impact, Your Legacy: Building a Powerful and Lasting Connection with the Younger Generation
Thurs 11-1145 Am Room D
Roland Thompson is a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He and his wife, Teri, have been married for 40 years, with a blended family of ten children, who have blessed them with 48 grandchildren, 5 of which are great grandchildren. Now that his grandchildren have figured out how to have children, Roland figures he will have about a million of them in about 10 years. He feels that deeply connecting with and championing these individuals in realizing their dreams and living their God-given mission in life – and helping others to achieve the same – is an integral part of why he is here.
Roland is a Navy veteran with 3 tours in Vietnam. He became a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1974 after completing his 3rd tour and he remains an active member and leader in his faith. He then began his lifetime pursuit of education to receive degrees from Central Washington University, American College and Green River College and eventually decided to pursue a career in the financial world. In due course he used his degrees and certifications to start his own financial planning company to help people prepare for retirement where he became known as one of the Nation’s top Financial Advisors to Baby Boomers. Roland has a very special love for music and public speaking. He has authored 2 books, one a best seller and is currently working on his 3rd book.
Roland currently does not believe in retirement and feels that we are put on earth to create until we are called home. He is dedicating the rest of his life in repentance for helping people plan for retirement. When we graduate from the workforce, we need to focus the rest of our life in preparing the world for the 2nd Coming by empowering the future leaders, our children, to connect with the spirit to discover their purpose and wholly support them in this. One of his favorite quotes is from FDR 80 years ago, “We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future.”
As a result of several personal and family experiences and the ever more alarming statistics of the division between people and the despair and hopelessness so many are suffering in society today, Roland became determined to find a solution. He was inspired to found the Heart of the Fathers Foundation, a non-profit organization passionately committed to making the world better by helping the sunset generation better connect with the rising generation so they will have the confidence and support they need to live their individual God-given purpose. His hope is to lead others to find the peace and empowerment that comes from building bridges of connection with those God has placed in your life. Through this pursuit, Roland is now often referred to as the Connection Grandpa.
Whether he’s on stage, writing books, or spending time with his loved ones, Roland is a gifted communicator who uses his unique blend of humor, storytelling, and scriptural wisdom to inspire and challenge his audiences.
In Your Impact, Your Legacy: Building a Powerful and Lasting Connection with the Younger Generation, Roland will be sharing the solution he found to creating a lasting and impactful legacy for his family and others that he loves. Using several parables from scripture and life, he will show you the importance of building sturdy bridges of connection between yourself, Our Savior, and your loved ones – especially the vulnerable younger generation currently in our care.

Tom (Treyeshua) Tomeny- Independent Candidate for Utah Governor
2024 Presentation
Thurs April 18, 12:15 to 1 pm
Help Please! Join This Discussion as I Walk with Jesus to be His Governor of Utah, I am on the Ballot this November as an Independent.
Biography
My legal name is Tom Tomeny, on the ballot as an Independent for Governor of Utah this November. I have, since birth in 1960, gone by the name of Trey. About 7 years ago, in a miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ, He gave me the name Treyeshua, which reflects the fact that, as per John 14:20, I live in Him and He lives in me.
I am of the tribes of Ephraim and Judah. I was born to good parents. They were faithful to God, each other, and their children. I was taught well, in many domains, by my mother and father. I have been through many trials and tribulations during my life, yet have found myself highly favored by God. I have been given a great knowledge of the goodness and ways of God. Spiritually, I am a Jewish Catholic Protestant Messianic Adventist Latter Day Saint, as I moved through many religious traditions to arrive here now in our Church.
My calling is to help unite the children of God into one Body, by one Baptism, living in one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that proceeds from the Father and the Son, even Jesus Christ. In the almost 7 years since being baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have come to know, without any doubt, that it is the true Church of Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God on Earth here and now.
Numerous Saints have helped me on the covenant path recently, particularly my dear wife Ellice Taylor Tomeny, my good friend David Alexander, and the marvelous teachings of Hannah Stoddard. I am very grateful to David Douglas and Rian Nelson for having me here today. And for the continuous encouragement and teachings of our Prophet, Russell M. Nelson, and every one of our Apostles and other Church leaders.
My miraculous conversion story is available on a Saints Unscripted video that is easily found by searching my name, Treyeshua. I am still in the process of collecting campaign ideas from saints, that URL is listeningtoutah.com. My eventual campaign site will be letgoodgovern.com. There are some writings there now but it is very much a work in progress. My campaign does not truly begin until June 26, the day after the primaries. As an independent candidate for Governor of Utah, I will be on the November ballot as I bypass the primaries.

I would tell it all here because it is so full of miracles and blessings and crazy twists and turns that are more than fate but that would spoil her book, which, by the way, everybody should get a copy of. This woman had me captivated. She was dressed in bright purple and turquoise with a necklace made of carved stone bears. She had on dark glasses to protect her lack of sight but many times that night I felt like she was looking straight into my own eyes. I laughed with her jokes, I smiled at her triumphs. And yes, I cried with her discoveries.” Jamie Welch, Journalist for University of Utah, Nov. 2008

Our Future is as Bright as our Faith- UM Truth & the Simple Life
Fri April 19, 9 to 10 am
UM Scientist that has been teaching the Universal Model for about 10 years, starts a unique experiment. He makes his personal prediction about the future of life in America! This is based on the rock solid foundation and simple truths of the Universal Model.
The Universal Model – A New Millennial Science (UM) gives us permission to believe our family history. Volume 1 The Earth System demonstrates how rocks form to show the Earth did not come from molten magma and is not 4.5 billion years old. Volume 2 The Living System establishes the truth of human history. It proves that we did not evolve from lower life forms, all fossils formed 4,367 years ago in Noah’s Flood, and we can trust the World History Model.
Allan Wade – Universal Model Education Instructor – Allan has been teaching the Universal Model – A New Millennial Science for many years and is currently a teacher. As a former Biology teacher, Allan’s knowledge of the UM and its principles are far reaching. He is uniquely prepared in the learning and teaching of science to students of all ages.

Presentation: God Wired Us For Success. Technology Is Wiring Us For Servitude. Juanita Collard Werrett is an author, writer, poet, teacher and most significantly a lifelong student and researcher. Her areas of interest are the study of science and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She has taught Bible Studies and the Life of Christ regularly over the past 40 years for her church. She has taught individual students in her home for the past 10 years as they sought understanding of truths found in scriptures. 
In 2015 she committed herself to a rigorous internet curriculum taught by scientist, Anthony Patch. She absorbed his knowledge of particle physics, quantum computers and futuristic technology. The rich experience of that interaction led to the remarkable content of this published volume. The supportive platform of science lends itself to the spiritual platforms of God. An understanding of this concept became life changing. She is offering this experience to others. Her personal student curriculums are self-imposed, consistent over her life time and continue today. She is one of that great population called “seekers.” She feels learning must not only inform but transform the student. She continues to interlace her academic and religious studies through her primary life as a dedicated wife and mother of four wonderful children.Back Cover Summary It is critical in this day of discovery and augmented scientific knowledge we come to an accurate balance of understanding between foundational science and foundational religion. We are facing a technology that is moving at enormous speed. We need to understand the precarious status of humans as we enter and live through the future technology era that is upon us. Humanity could be negatively affected by technology either unintentionally or by design. As we move forward ethical and moral decisions will be confronted as to how we manage AI (artificial intelligence) robots, avatars, and the huge data gathering process associated with the tech industries being formulated at this moment. Controversy will rage but solutions will percolate. The truth is you and I are “the product” in the new global technology paradigm and our information will feed AI, “the data eating beast.” Pandora’s Box is open. Science and technology are leapfrogging forward at an exponential pace. There is no mechanism to stop it… except God! God’s children are “weighted” and “wired” for spiritual success. True doctrines and ordinances of the Gospel of Christ fortify faith and give Christians hope in His return. Spiritual development and power comes to those who are prepared and willing to stand with Christ. The fuller blessings may be ours in spite of the underlying challenges. Perhaps it is fortunate that we live in the fullness of time, and the fast approaching pre-millennial era. The righteous will be saved in life or death. Some may be blessed to witness the glorious second coming of the Savior.

LaMonte Wilcox and McKell Kiser– Founders of Fulfill Life Yourself
2024 Presentation:
LaMonte- Sat April 20th, 515 to 615 PM
Metanoia? A neuroscientific perspective on how repentance works in the brain and how it can be used to address mental health struggles and addiction of almost every kind without therapy or medications through the new F.L.Y. program.
McKell- Fri April 19th, 6 6o 645 PM
Discovering and Breaking Ancestral Trauma: Through a completely new parenting program based on Godly unconditional love.
LaMonte’s Presentation description:
What did Pres Nelson mean when he mentioned Metanoia? Greek was the language of the gospels and the word “repent” was recorded as “metanoia.” “Meta” means “after” and it bears the concept of “shift” or “change” (as in the word metamorphosis). “Noia” translates to “mind.” Metanoia is a mindset that happens after a life-changing experience. This means that repentance is literally a change within the mind. Let’s take a deeper look at what that means neurologically and find out why the F.L.Y. program has such a high satisfaction rate when dealing with mental wellness and addiction.
This explains why technology has taken such a toll on mental health and wellness today.
Let’s take a look at how our ancestors trauma’s have been passed down for generations and now are being expressed through mental health struggles of every kind; depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, eating disorders, and even suicidal ideations. Let’s talk about how these mental patterns are keeping us from hearing and understanding the promptings of the Spirit.
Mental Health and addictions in the LDS communities is unusually high. Why are suicide rates, addiction, porn use, meds for depression highest in LDS comunities? Why are we missing the answers to mental health in the Book of Mormon? How did Alma the younger experience this core transformation? He was the vilest of sinners yet he applied the true principles of repentance and completely transformed in one day! Do you think he overcame some addictions and mental struggles that day? Maybe today’s mental health pains are to drive us to discover what he learned. This is what I have experienced and seen with hundreds of clients!
Understanding Christlike parenting using the F.L.Y. model can truly heal all wounds and over 500 clients can attest to it.
Why did God put mental illness on this earth?
Why aren’t current methods having a permanent effect? Why does one try years and years of therapy and/or medications and still suffer?
In the Doctrine and Covenants it says peace will be taken from the earth before the second coming. D&C 1:35. “the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth,” . I used to think this was referring to wars between nations but it appears this may be an inner peace. All mental health struggles are a lack of inner peace. We can’t control wars but we can control the inner struggles that taunt us and drive away the Spirit on a daily basis.
I now focus on parents because neuroscientists are now showing why parents are in the very best position to influence and help their children more than therapists, doctors, medications, dietary changes, or any other method.
Come ask the hard questions and find the answers with me at 7:15 pm on Saturday.
Bio:
LaMonte was born in Northern California by two Idahoan parents who found struggle in raising their 8 children in such a foreign place to them. They moved to small town Moroni, Utah in hopes to avoid some of the world’s influence on the children. LaMonte’s adventurous spirit took him to return with his older brother Nick to his mission in Taiwan to teach English to the Taiwanese. This culture shock prepared him well for his own mission to the Micronesian Islands. He went from the most populated place on the planet to the least. He fell in love with and lived among the Micronesians who lived a very communal life where everyone shared everything and no one had ownership. No one felt deserving of anything but what they did for themselves and others. After returning home he raised 6 children while attending BYU and working a full time job. After over 25 years of struggling through mental health issues in his family he discovered some very life changing principles that freed him and many others from the binding thought patterns of fear that satan uses to hold us back and create indescribable suffering.
With a new hope he obsessed with how this could be applied to even the most complex mental struggles and addictions. For more than eight months, almost all day every day, he wrestled with this idea and through much prayer, meditation, study, and practice a model formulated on paper that has now changed hundreds of lives. After seeing the results with a few of his patients Dr K.C. Oliver, who also graduated from BYU and went on to become a very successful Functional Neurologist specializing in Traumatic Brain injuries, invited LaMonte to open an office at The Neuro Clinic and work with all his patients. When his daughter McKelle returned from her mission she saw a dramatic change in her father and family and soon together they created the F.L.Y. program that has had an overwhelming impact with over 90% of their clients over the last 5 years! This level of success is unheard of with mental health and addiction recovery so they are finding ways to spread the word of hope to those who suffer, and to parents whose children can benefit.
Patty Wilcox- Direct Descendent of Joseph Smith, Teacher, Student
Oct 2022 Presentations
The Kingdom of God. What it is, and why it matters.
Part 1 Thurs:
Part 2 Friday:
The collapse of the United States as we know it, has been prophesied and is inevitable. From its ashes the political Kingdom of God (not the Church) will be restored. In all of our “prepping,” we must be knowledgeable about and actively engaged in preparing for the establishment of this Kingdom.
Patty is a direct descendent of Joseph. She has served in every auxiliary of the Church. She has spent her life as a student and teacher of scriptural gospel doctrine, and a defender of truth.
Patty grew up in a non-member community, and while in the fourth grade she argued with her teacher about where the Native Americans originated. This resulted in her mother being called in by the teacher requesting that Patty be more accepting of the curriculum. She has defended the Book of Mormon all her life.
She likes to turn the gospel topics she studies into PowerPoint presentations. She teaches for family, friends, “firesides”, birthday parties, bar mitzvot,… “Have scriptures, will travel,” your place or mine.
Patty and her husband of forty-nine years, Robin, delight in their posterity of five children, twenty four grandchildren (one less than a week old), and five greatgrands.

Joseph Smith TV Series Debut!
We’re in an effort to launch a TV series on the life and ministry of Joseph Smith. Season 1 opens with the visitation of Moroni to young Joseph. The 11-12 episode season would cover the entire coming forth of the Book of Mormon. I am honored to give a presentation about what our plans are with the series, as well as share important stories regarding the visits of the angel Moroni, the translation process, the active participants in trying to stop the work, as well as the struggle Joseph went through to keep people from stealing the plates.
We are attempting to tie these 19th century events in with fulfillment of old testament prophecy, and tie it in with evidences that support the Book of Mormon–that have been revealed after Joseph’s death.
We shot a short film on a shoe-string budget to help our audience believe we could actually make a film, as well as give them an idea of the tone and feel we were going for in each episode of the series. We will share this film titled, “Defiance of the Law” with your audience as a launch pad into further discussion.
Here is the first video they did, to announce the launch of the series:
“Ducon has been making films for 16 years. As a firm believer in the mission of the Church, he wishes to tell stories regarding church history, as well as bare testimony, through film, of the truthfulness of the gospel. It is his hope that the stories he shares will bring common people to become saints, by showing the amazing men and women that have gone before us and set the example and point us to Jesus Christ, our Savior.”
Angela had been making mental notes that her junior high students in the public educational system as well as her colleagues were lacking understanding of freedom principles. They were also disconnected from their hearts to the commitment it takes to live free. This prompted her to make a cliff notes, big-picture collection of these principles as given by the founding fathers, past heroes, current freedom leaders, and scripture. The topic of freedom is enormous and requires good thinking skills; therefore, it took two volumes and a study guide just to give the reader’s digest version. Although it has a suggested curriculum outline for private and home schools, the books are for all ages.
In a time when information may be hard to come by, it serves as a hard copy that cannot be tampered with or given limited access due to a low social score. These books are for now and the future because freedom never goes out of style but the blueprint can be lost.
If you would like to preorder the books and pick them up at the Freedom Foundations booth, email me at [email protected].
I have been picturing in my mind for years the fortifications of Captain Moroni. I just wanted to be able to see it with my own eyes and since I figured know one else would build such a panorama, I did.
I am amazed at the draw and power it has on members when they see it. They, like myself can better imagine and visualize the massive amount of work that went into the construction and the inspired genius of its defensive capabilities. Jody was Raised in Arizona and served a mission in Mississippi. He married the former Angela Peterson, 28 years ago. They currently have 11 children and 2 grandchildren.

Today, your children are subjected to indoctrination from ideologies that challenge and contradict your proven family beliefs and values. Wanted is the heart, mind, and soul of your children. Social collectivism, group identity, and social egalitarianism create an homogenized society where everyone is equal, where power and control by oligarchs rule with impunity. Countries with these philosophies include China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and others where engineered political systems act as quasi dictatorships.
Your child’s identity, an eternal noble birthright to freedom and agency, and light and truth are being undermined and transformed. Individual identity defers to collective social unity led by social justice warriors who want to rewrite history and define the American future. The quest for academic excellence is not as important as social activism. Our American heritage is under attack.
Today parents are considered old-fashioned, out of touch, unaware of contemporary issues and sidelined by the professionals who know how to teach and control your children. American Marxist is in our schools.

Presentations: Oct 2022
1- It’s OK to Believe
This review of recent scientific discoveries is an overview of several areas of recent research in science operating in complete harmony with faith and the Biblical account.
An overview of recent work in genetics reveals the important correlations between DNA and Biblical history.
In 2005, soft tissue was discovered inside the femur of a dinosaur bone by Dr. Mary Schweitzer. Although initially controversial, more discoveries followed. In 2012, Dr. Mark Armitage dug out a large section of a triceratops brow horn in Hell Creek, Montana. It was discovered that the interior of the horn contained soft tissue that was stretchy and pliable. Further research revealed bone cells, nerves and veins.
Dr Wright worked in Dr Armitage’s lab in 2022 and shares his experience with Dr Armitage’s findings in the exciting new field of Dinosaur Soft Tissue and its implclations for Christians who believe in the Biblical Flood of Noah.
Dr Wright also reviews the research of Jefferson Williams, a Paleoseismolgist doing research on a quake that occured in 30-33 AD near Jerusalem, often referred to as the Crucifixion Quake. Dr. Wright shares his experiences with Williams, and explores the impact of this ongoing research in Israel.
This work, along with new research in the fields of genetics, geology and anthropology demonstrate the truth of the statement, “it’s OK to believe.”
2- The Light of the World: He Spread Out the Heavens
Recent scientific discoveries demonstrate that the Light of Christ sustains all of creation and is responsible for the observations of modern telescopes that challenge mainstream scientific theories.
As modern science continues to progress, the truth of scripture is confirmed in large and small ways. From the subatomic to the astronomical, God’s version of events provide the best explanation for the what is observed. This presentation will present the science of the very small and the very large, revealing Christ’s presence in all His creation.
3- A Place for Hope
In this presentation Dr Bob Wright, founder of The Flood Museum explains the importance of providing a place to teach truth: Christ is Creator, the global flood really happened, and hope lives in Christ.
A review of creation science, Faith-centered education and the importance of strengthening faith in our youth is the focus of this presentation.
It will also feature an exclusive virtual walkthrough of the Flood Museum in Utah and the classes, workshops and events coming to Utah.

Dana Young- Be Young Total Health
April 2023 Presentation:
Plagues, Pestilence and Disease, is there an Answer?
Presentation Outline: Most of the plants in the Bible are only mentioned in passing, with reference to medicinal use occurring even less. Genesis 2-29: “And God said, behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, which is the fruit of the tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
The Holy Land, an area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea that also includes the Eastern Bank of the Jordan, is synonymous with the biblical land of Israel and Palestine. This was an ancient botanical crossroad, enjoying an active trade in spices, incense, and medicines from Egypt to Mesopotamia and beyond. Its flora includes about 2,700 species, some of medical value. Dana will take you on a journey through the early written records of plants in this region from Egyptian medical papyri. The Ebers’ papyrus (1550 BC) contains 700 magical formulas and prescriptions, including the medical uses of plants. This knowledge was brought to the promise land by Lehi and his family (Alma 46:40) and the discovery of Spotted bee balm on the Zarahemla temple site, started the rediscovery of a hidden truth and knowledge that has been lost. Now more than ever the knowledge and understanding the chemical and biological activities of compound found in spotted bee balm and other essential oils to protect your family in these uncertain times is of the upmost importance.
WHO ARE WE? Our journey started in 1995 when Dana Young began his scientific discovery into the world of alternative medicine and essential oils. After years of personal study and training with the leading experts and authorities of alternative medicine and essential oils, he was able to glean a broad understanding of the chemistry and science of essential oils. Dana is one of the very few people in the world who has been involved with every aspect of essential oil production. Because of this, he has extensive knowledge of the importance of the seed selection, propagation, cultivation, harvesting, distillation, and quality testing of essential oils. Dana provides a unique and robust understanding of essential oils that no other essential oil provider in the industry can offer. His knowledge and background of these medicinal plants provide Be Young with the highest quality essential oils on the market.
THE HARSH REALITY. At the beginning of our journey, we were turnkey manufacturer, educator, and supplier of pure and high-quality essential oils. We offered our services on the contingency that the purity and quality would never be asked to be compromised. If it ever were, it would be an immediate means of a violation of the contract. However, not a single one of the several companies we provided our service for did not violate their agreement. With this experience, we set out to offer products under our conditions, with our commitment to purity and quality without compromise, and in 2009 Be Young Essential Oils was born.
MUCH MORE THAN ESSENTIAL OILS. Today, Be Young has evolved into a Total Health company. With the understanding that there is no silver bullet to health. It is an integrative approach and knowledge of the core barriers that prevent the body from feeling as good as it is designed to feel. Due to this understanding, Dana has partnered with talented industry professionals to bring aspects of nutrition, diet, cleanses, home and house care, beauty within, beauty without, and of course essential oils to combat the daily fight our body faces against these core barriers.
QUALITY & PURITY. The same principles that governed our company in the beginning still guide us today. Because of our commitment to pure, all-natural, clean, and life-restoring products, Be Young has remained a debt-free company to prevent outside influencers from gaining control and compromising the product line. This means you will never find within any of our products any synthetic ingredients, harsh fillers, or artificial colors and flavorings. Be Young only provides a product that is used first in our family, then we offer it to you. Be Young Total Health ADDRESS: Be Young Total Health P.O. Box 51 Nephi, UT 84648 PHONE: 435-580-4069
