Unless they are looking to find and encourage people who are already doing so.

Carl,
Careful study from all angles leads me to believe that “The Three” are those you named. For instance, among others, is the fact that Nephi, if not one, should have died around 56 AD per Christ’s announcement of the other 9 longevity, and Nephi’s age…..but nothing is mentioned of his death….we are talking about the President of the Church at that time, the keeper of the Plates. You would think something would be said of this great man’s passing and the handing down of the plates to his rightous son per standard practice…..but nither….gee…..interesting is it not?…go look, nothing mentioned in the fast forward verses. Personally I do not believe there was a Nephi III; Amos would have been the next son in line if Jonas could not, for some reason ;) , receive the Plates. Do the Three exist today…..it’s my conviction, Yes verily!

Eight months later while in the city of Cucuta,on the 15th of March,1976, I finished Moroni 10. That night after a fallen through appointment we were walking on the street when a man passed . After continuing for a while I had a strong impression that we needed to go back and talk to him. After running about a block we stopped him and asked if we could make an appointment to visit his family. He said he didn’t live inCucuta but seeing a table in a nearby restaurant suggested that we sit and give him our message.At that moment I began to feelexplosions in my body that I had never felt before. He said his name was Jonas not using a last name. When we asked what he was doing in Cucuta he said that he traveled the world with his father and uncle giving seminars about math science astronomy and physics but had come to Cucuta to ” visit their ancestors” . While we gave him the 1st discussion the burning of my busom continued. Tears gushed down my cheeks. We finished ,he politely said goodbye and we went to our apartment. When we got home I immediately opened B of M to read names of disciples Nephi his brother Timothy, and his son Jonas.

He was wearing a more native style but he was white. Brown orange hair. I was on southwest.com trying to find a flight and the man came to my door and told me about some irrelevant stuff. When he left (i thought he was crazy so i never asked him to leave) he told me too close my window. Suddenly out if no where a storm came from a clear sky and knocked out yhe power. I missed my trip to boston. Two days later the boston bombings occurred.

I remember one I thought was from a reliable source, but as the years passed I no longer remember who told it or where I read it, so if I said anything, it would only contribute to folklore.

I was in the hospital in an oxygen tent. My mother called the mission home to ask them to send missionaries to give me a blessing when our home teachers were unavailable. A few minutes later she met two elders she described both with white hair. They gave me a short blessing and then gave my mother a blessing that she could not record the words of. The elders wished her well and left the room. She was going to ask them their names again because she only caught a glimpse of their name tags. But when she stepped out of the room the elders were gone. A few minutes later two other elders showed up saying they were sent from the mission home. When my mother asked if they knew the other elders, and after describing them to the elders present, they said there were no elders in their area or zone that matched their description.
