“The Lord took branches like the Nephites, like the lost tribes, and like others that the Lord led off that we do not know anything about, to other parts of the earth. He planted them all over his vineyard, which is the world. No doubt he sent some of these branches into Japan, into Korea, into China. … [He] grafted them into the wild olives, the Gentiles, and is bringing the Gentiles into the gospel of Jesus Christ” (Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, 4:204–6).
