Still stuck in Orem......

We are a week away from starting our blog in earnest. We will officially start on the evening of October 6th in Palmyra, New York. Here is the deal: Barbara and I will be on the first ever Book of Mormon tour in North America. Our tour guides include Harman Rector, Jr.(general authority emeritus), Wayne May (archaeologist), Rod Meldrum (DNA evidence of Book of Mormon) and Mary Ellen Elggren (Church history). This blog will cover evidence of Book of Mormon having taken place in North America. It is true, where the Book of Mormon took place is not important. The spiritual truths held evident within its pages are its real treasure.



But now, new DNA evidence in the last 3 years has caused Church theologians to start rethinking where the Book of Mormon took place. Experts on North American precolumbian Indians including archaeologists, historians, social scientists and others are at this moment rewriting ancient American history based on not only DNA evidence but new fascinating discoveries at various archaeological sites throughout all North America.



We hope to include a day-to-day blog of our two week trip from Palmyra to St. Louis. Your comments are invited. May you find it fun and fascinating. We hope this information will not put a dent in your current belief of a geographical Mesoamerican theory. Where it took place is not important as the fact that it did take place. We have been told to read these priceless scriptures everyday. Now, there is the challenge.
