Who is the statue on the spire

george malizia | Oct 21, 2018
Diana P | Oct 21, 2018

It is an angel named Moroni. He brought to light the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It's a history and testimony of prophets in the ancient Americas. With this new information, and additional revelation from God, the prophet Joseph Smith was then able to restore the same church that Jesus established when He was on the earth.
