No one except our Savior Jesus Christ, has done more for the salvation of mankind than Joseph Smith. Truly Moroni’s words have been fulfilled and his name is had for good and evil through out the world. All shall acknowledge him as the Prophet of the Restoration, and the Revealer of God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ, in these the Latter days!
Simply awesome
