Joseph Franklin Brickey
The Book of Mormon teaches that Jesus blessed the bread and wine for the people of the Promised Land, telling them, “This shall ye do in remembrance of my body, which I have shown unto you. And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And if ye do always remember me, ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.”

I Was There When He Came -
Sacred Hymns of the Book of Mormon
Mormon has written some of the wondrous things that happened and things that Jesus said when He visited the people of ancient America, but the experience of the people present at that time surpasses anything that we can imagine. They made certain to certify, individually, that He came, that He lives, and that He redeems and loves. This song expresses some of the wonder of that supernal visit, as recorded in the Book of Mormon.

“I can almost name each piece as I form it, for its expression of solemnity almost brings out a personality that I can recognize. The scriptural source for this sculpture is 3 Nephi, chapters 12, 15, and 28, in the Book of Mormon.”

They Shall Be Mine in That Day When I shall Come to Make Up My Jewels

Abraham sought for the blessings of the fathers, which would be the heritage of his children. Those future children were described by the Lord as stars and sands. Sand is unstable until tried through fire. Once refined, sand becomes glass. Light passing through a prism of glass is refracted into separate colors. Each tribe of Israel had a separate gem that identified it. Though the exact stone for each tribe is not known, I can see how each tribe could make up the complement of colors that join together to make white light. As each house or tribe of Israel gives their special color and gift, they create one eternal round.

BOOK OF MORMON PATCHWORD FABRIC
Lyric Montgomery Kinard
Adam and Eve began the process of mortality through which countless generations of children have been brought into the world. Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life is a beautiful symbolic representation of the linking of families through God's love, power, and priesthood ordinances found in holy temples. Latter–day Saints are acutely aware of the linking of generations and of our connection to humans as brothers and sisters who are the literal children of our Heavenly Father. In this quilt, photographs of ancestors were scanned and digitally collaged, and then printed onto fabric to create both the individuals in the portraits and the families in the border of the quilt.

Paul speaks of Christ as the Great High Priest, who, instead of offering animal sacrifices, laid down His own life to provide the way for us to be brought back into God’s presence (Hebrews 4:14). He sacrificed His life upon the cross and taught that because He did so, all men can be drawn unto Him (3 Nephi 27:14). He is the Redeemer of the world, and His Atonement makes God’s eternal plan efficacious.

We Three Were Caught Up -
Sacred Hymns of the Book of Mormon
When Jesus Christ visited the people of ancient America, he chose 12 men whom He designated as disciples, to organize His church and teach the people after He again ascended into heaven. During His time with these men, He granted unto each their own desire. Three of them desired to live on earth until He came again, so that they could continue to serve Him and minister to the world in the flesh. He took those three up to heaven for further instruction.
