“He Hid Them in a Manner That the People of Limhi Did Find Them”

Bryan Richards

Like Moroni and Mormon, Ether was writing to an unborn generation, but what good is Ether’s exhaustive record if no one ever reads it? Ether did all he could to make sure his record was found. He “hid” the records but he did not want them to remain hidden. He “hid” them like a mother hides an Easter egg for a 3-year old—in a conspicuous location. Fortunately, Limhi’s scouts did not have as much trouble finding the record of Ether as they did finding the city of Zarahemla (Mosiah 21:25-27).
