Choose your language: The Voice of God

Followed by sister Carrie's testimony, we hear the voice of God aired in three languages – English for the majority of listeners, Spanish for the two Latina women who were inexplicably weeping throughout the testimony, and French for the foreign exchange student whose host family did not know how to be quiet during the other languages.



"Listen carefully to what the Lord is trying to tell you," Sister Carrie exhorted. "These are reenactors, but their performance is guided by the Holy Spirit in this holy story."

The holy story was indeed portrayed in “The Restoration,” a 20-minute special detailing Joseph Smith’s personal search for God’s truth regarding denominationalism – a.k.a., “How Joseph Smith brilliantly capitalized on sectarianism in early 19th century American Protestantism and started his own religious house party.”


The Restoration refers to the salvation of the golden tablets which had been buried by the last virtuous American Indian and which contain the history of Jesus’ teaching in North America. When Joseph Smith discovered the golden tablets on which the righteous native peoples had recorded the ancient story of Mormon. It was centuries later that Mormon's son, Moroni, led young Joseph to the place where he would unearth the tablets, and through God's inspiration, restore the true gospel.

Note that Joseph Smith's brother in this feature presentation was totally hot. HOT. At least per Ashby.

Speaking of hot, Ashby was the subject of many advances at the visitors center. Please note snappy Mormon-style outfit which fetched many admiring glances from the sisters, and not a few lingering back-slaps from the elders. At first we thought he’d be regarded as a Lost Brother (accompanied by three harlots), but instead he found himself the Lust Brother at Hill Cumorah.
