Al Jensen Private Tour
2021--Thursday, September 16 - Saturday, September 25 --2021
Nephi, Moroni, Joseph Smith, & You
Discover the connections between the Prophets, Nephi and Moroni; The Land of Promise, Joseph Smith Jr. and You.
Visit the site of the landing of the Puritans and Pilgrims as they escaped religious oppression and founded a nation and Constitution that secured 'religious freedom'. Visit the first halls of congress where the Constitution was drafted and signed by the founding fathers providing the rights and protections that were lacking in their European homelands that were governed by 'state religions'. We will visit the sites and rehearse the events of the Restoration, for which purpose, this nation was established according to prophecy for the establishment of Zion, and the organization of the Church of Jesus Christ. We will visit the site of the first Temple of this dispensation where the heavens were opened and knowledge, truths, and 'keys' were committed to Joseph Smith necessary to administer the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
From a 'Reformation' in 1520 to the Pilgrims landing in 1620, to the First Vision in 1820 to You in 2021. We will visit the Lands of the Book of Mormon where the promises and prophecies were recorded that connect the Promised Land of the Nephites to the sites that we will visit on this tour. With us will be special guides and teachers; Bruce H. Porter, and Wayne May, experts in scripture and the Hopewell Culture. You will be truly surprised when you let the evidence speak for itself.

Over half of the Sections in the Doctrine and Covenants were received during the Kirtland time period, and multiple visions of the Father and the Son were seen here as a second witness to the truths of the Godhead revealed to Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove.
