“What Am I?” Friend, Oct. 1988, 14

What Am I?

  1. To protect me, Ammaron put me in the Hill Shim. (See Morm. 1:3.)

  2. Mormon hid most of me in the Hill Cumorah and gave a few of me to his son, Moroni. (See Morm. 6:6.)

  3. The Lord said that I am not to be used to make money. (See Morm. 8:14.)

  4. Reformed Egyptian characters have been written on me. (See Morm. 9:32.)

  5. Moroni put me in a stone box and covered me with a large rock. Many years later Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith and told him about me. (See Morm. 8:4; JS—H 1:33–34, 51–52.)
