52Sacred Grove- Where Joseph Smith Received His First Vision
Testimony of Church Lives or Dies with Joseph
"That becomes the hinge pin on which this whole cause turns. If the First Vision was true, if it actually happened, then the Book of Mormon is true. Then we have the priesthood. Then we have the Church organization and all of the other keys and blessings of authority which we say we have. If the First Vision did not occur, then we are involved in a great sham. It is just that simple." (New York Rochester Missionary Meeting, July 12, 1996.) (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, p. 227)

Joseph Smith- Translation and Book of Mormon
Moroni's visitation to Joseph: A personage called Joseph by name in 1823 and explained that he was a messenger from God. He told Joseph Smith that God had a work for him to do and that his name " should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues." Moroni told Joseph about a book written upon gold plates that contained the everlasting Gospel and that God had prepared a way for Joseph to translate the plates.
