Two Cumorahs post #2

Then Wayne and I discussed the statements of Brigham Young and others, who taught that Joseph Smith returned the golden plates to the Hill Cumorah (probably Hill Cumorah #2), and that Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Smith went inside a room containing wagonloads of records. Wayne looked it up online and there are at least 10 recorded versions of this story. (Click HERE to see the articles on the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship website. )

So what I am wondering is---why did the Lord move all those records from where Mormon hid them in HC#1 to HC#2? That must have been a difficult thing for Moroni to move all those many records during his thirty-six years of wandering around alone. Unless the Lord did it through some supernatural means.

ANYWAY, I'm not going to teach that in seminary anyway, because there is too much other stuff to teach. But it is fun to think about. And I really really want to have all those records translated and be able to read them someday.
