We know Lehi, Nephi, Alma, Samuel the Lamanite, Mormon, Moroni, and Hagoth. But what happened beyond the familiar record? The Nemenhah Sacred Records preserve another history—one that follows families who traveled northward, built communities, worshiped in sacred temples, remembered the visits of Jesus Christ, and attempted to live the way of the Peacemaker. This opening presentation introduces the people, the records, and the journey ahead. 🎧 Listen to the narr...

Ancient Patterns or Shared Restoration?

  📖 Discovery   Ancient Patterns or Shared Restoration? Come and See. ðŸŠķ What if two witnesses are describing the same heavenly pattern... without one copying the other? As I've continued studying the Bible , the Book of Mormon , the early Restoration , and the Nemenhah Sacred Records , I've noticed something that keeps appearing. The same spiritual patterns. Not always the same words. Not always the same ceremonies. But the same invitation. 📜 The Pattern Begins in Scripture From the beginning, the Creator has gathered His people into sacred places. Moses met with the Lord upon the mountain. Israel gathered around the tabernacle. Jesus gathered His disciples. The Nephites assembled at the temple in Bountiful. Again and again... God teaches His people through covenant, sacred gatherings, councils, and personal revelation. 🏛️ Joseph Smith's Restoration Joseph Smith restored many sacred patterns that had been lost or forgotten. Among them were: 🙏 The School of the Prophe...

Beyond the Geography Debate: What the Nemenhah Records Invite Us to Consider

  Beyond the Geography Debate: What the Nemenhah Records Invite Us to Consider Peoples, rivers, migrations—and an invitation to keep learning Where did the Book of Mormon happen? For many readers, that question opens a fascinating discussion about rivers, mountains, coastlines, ancient settlements, and the movements of peoples. Heartland, Mesoamerican, Baja, and South American proposals offer different ways of connecting the text with the land. I appreciated a recent discussion on The Stick of Joseph in which Neil and Jasmine Rappleye explained why they favor a Mesoamerican setting. Their willingness to discuss interpretations and acknowledge difficulties provides room for further inquiry. It also brought a question to my mind: What might the Nemenhah Records contribute to a conversation about migrations and the wider story of the Americas? I offer that question as a reader who has found these records spiritually meaningful and wants others to have an opportunity to examine them. ...

The Peacemaker in Our Midst

  The Peacemaker in Our Midst What Today's Nemenhah Reading Taught Us About Love, Grief, Equality, Service, and Living Zion The True Remnant Library — Sunday, October 18, 2026 There are days when we read sacred records, and there are days when those records seem to come alive right before our eyes. Today was one of those days. During our Zoom gathering, we studied the Second Book of Tsi Muhayl from the Ayahtkuhyaht Nemenhah Sacred Records, Complete Text, Second Edition . Our discussion explored the Savior's ministry, the suffering of His people, the importance of families, the spiritual gifts of women, and what it means to walk in the ways of the Peacemaker. But something happened as our gathering continued. We began talking less about what people did anciently and more about what we are supposed to be doing today. And perhaps that was the greatest lesson of all. 1. The Peacemaker Was Not a Stranger to His People One of the most touching moments of our gathering came when a bea...

Lesson 12 Mayntinah — A City Built on Covenant What Kind of Community Pleases the Peacemaker?

  ðŸŒŋ Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 12 Mayntinah — A City Built on Covenant What Kind of Community Pleases the Peacemaker? Listen to the NEW Narration:    Lesson 12 --- Zion Begins In the Heart 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week continue reading The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read about the establishment of Mayntinah , don't focus first on the buildings. Instead, ask yourself one question: "What kind of people were they trying to become?" I think Hahgmehni is far more interested in that question than in describing a city. ðŸŒŋ What Happened? After reading about the decline of the Nayfihah, Hahgmehni turns our attention to something completely different. Instead of destruction... he describes construction. The people gathered together. They built homes. They organized their community. Most importantly... they established a place where they could gather before the Peacemaker, worship Him, seek His counsel, and strengthe...

ðŸ‘Ģ True Leadership What Chapter 11 Teaches About Serving Instead of Ruling

  ðŸ‘Ģ True Leadership What Chapter 11 Teaches About Serving Instead of Ruling   Every generation asks the same question. Who should lead us? Should it be the smartest? The strongest? The wealthiest? The most educated? The most charismatic? Chapter 11 of The Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm gives an answer that surprised me. It says the greatest leader is simply... the greatest servant. 🏛️ Building a New Beginning After leaving Maynihntah, the Nemenhah established a new city called Aylahkohwaht near Nehspehlhem . Peace finally returned. The people could have focused on rebuilding wealth. Instead, they focused on rebuilding their society according to the pattern of the Peacemaker . That says a lot. When Christ builds a people, He starts with hearts before buildings. ðŸ‘Đ The Mothers' Council One detail that stands out is how leaders were chosen. The names of faithful servants were presented before the Mothers' Council . These women didn't campaign. They didn't lobby. They ...

Saturday Morning Common Sense 5 --- Zion Came Sneaking In

  Saturday Morning Common Sense Zion Came Sneaking In We were waiting for a program. It came through the side door carrying a casserole. A Little Common Sense for Latter-day Saints Listen to the NEW Song:    Zion Came Sneaking In   We had been looking for Zion in all the respectable places. We looked for it in the handbook. We checked the calendar. We formed a committee and reserved the cultural hall. We were fairly certain Zion would arrive with an announcement, a new program, and perhaps a sign-up sheet in the foyer. But while we were discussing it, Zion came sneaking in through the side door. It looked remarkably like Sister Jensen carrying a casserole to a widow who had not felt like cooking. It looked like a teenager quietly dragging a neighbor’s garbage cans back from the street. It looked like a brother making the telephone call he had postponed for six months and finally saying: “I was wrong. Will you forgive me?” It looked like someone sitting beside Brother...

Lesson 11 When the Land Began to Suffer What Creation Reveals About the Human Heart

  ðŸŒŋ Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 11 When the Land Began to Suffer What Creation Reveals About the Human Heart Listen to the NEW Narration:    Care For What He Gives 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week, continue reading The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read, notice something that is easy to miss. Hahgmehni is not only describing what happened to the people. He's also describing what happened to the forests... the rivers... and the land itself. Ask yourself: Why does Hahgmehni spend so much time talking about the land? ðŸŒŋ What Happened? As I read this part of Hahgmehni, something surprised me. The Record doesn't simply say the Nayfihah became prideful. It describes what happened afterward. The forests were cut down. The mountains were stripped. The rivers changed. The beauty of the land slowly disappeared. At first I wondered, "Why is Hahgmehni talking so much about trees?" Then it hit me. He isn't writing a...
