BIG HELP TO DISCOVER MY ANCESTORS OF THOUSANDS YEARS AGO. A true history about how this could became true and also helpful.

As result I learned, from my very old ancestors, that the Book od Mormon was correctly translated, based on scientific basis, including language aspects (from a true old living language, yet partly alive in this World) amd based on very correct Geography as described in Book of Mormon (it is 100% correct, as describing real places and their names having a real meaning...), based on information gathered from my thousand years old ancestors data and making scientific comparisons.


What will be next presented is the true account of something that took place in 1998, thus 11 years ago. It allowed me to become very confident that the translation of Book of Mormon was correctly well done by Joseph Smith prophet.

For sure I became aware of such truth, as result of my experience put into work in a scientific way, as if based on such experience as "first and fixed stone", as if Archimede's principle for a lever able to move anything including the World.

I know I got such “insight” because it was not for whole “Church members benefit, as if revelation for all”. But it was something related to “my family, in the broad sense of my ancestors” seen in the long range period of some 3,000 years. Thus the insight was in favor of my “broad family group” (something much greater than the concept of a “tribe”).

What is to be next presented originated from my personal diary and from copy a detailed report I wrote yet in Rome. It was immediately sent to one good friend, but no Church Leader as having general authorithy (I wrote the report in modern Latin based language): it was never published, as it was private.


The report explained how it was obtained the “finding” that allowed to be very sure the Book of Mormon was very correctly translated from the text t written on “gold plates”. Nobody could understand or translate such original text, then... Thus also nobody could be able to write back similar “Nephi’s text” from a “modern language text”.



Things started quite suddenly from an order to travel to Italy. My employer was then a multi-national French company and had bought a new equipment from Italy, made in a factory in north of Rome. I was assigned to go to such factory, and see all tests of the equipment to sign an order to export it to Brazil. This was not my duty, but I received orders to make no complains, and thus obey. It was something manufacturer and my boss had already decided about my trip, as soon as possible, and also to see similar equipments in practical use in Italy, as part of training to teach local labor about best using the equipment.


Already the date and time of departure had been set by them. In the day of traveling, my plane to Sao Paulo international airport had a huge delay (it was not possible to discover the reason). I feared that I was to miss the connecting flight to Rome. In fact when I was able to walk to the desk of Italian Airline, it was being announced the “last, last call”. I run to their desk. In fact I was the last passenger to arrive for boarding. And I asked (in so “silly way…”) a seat in the very first row, tourist class, next to a window.

The attendant make a great smile and told me the flight was very crowded, and that maybe just 2 last seats would be available in the very back. And she opened the computer screen to search for such 2 available seats.

Then she "remembered" that, because of so “strange reasons”, my desired seat could be available, as the flyght had been closed for new passengers.

The first row, from window to window, was empt but “blocked as reserved”, by some type of program they never had seen, that prevented any of such seats be assigned for any passenger, as it was requiring an unknown “password” for such. It was like a “virus” controlling the boarding computer and even their central computer could not get control of such terminal computer. Her reasoning was that at the end of open boarding, such “strange reservations” would have been cancelled and that she could provide me my desired seat.

For her surprise, when the screen was zoomed to show such seats of first row, my desired seat, by itself, started to “blink” (by itself…) and the boarding pass was printed when it got unlocked ready for boarding: no password was required. Being a curious woman, she noticed that the other seats, from window to window, of such first row, remained “blocked”, requiring “password”. As if the computer had a person inside...

She told me that somebody was “saving so many seats for me” travels alone, in so great privacy... And that I had such so great hidden friend, acting as if a "virus what was taking care of boarding the passengers of such plane".

Such first row of seats was very good, because it had a corridor separating the seats to the business class (closed back by a thick window). Thus I could stretch my legs in full horizontal position without in the long space up to such curtain.


Such vacant seats, of first row, would be very tempting place, because there were no “vacant seats” besides my row, as the tourist section was very crowded pf people, having very small space to accomodate their knees.

Thus the “logic”… was that they noticing the vaccant seats, was to move to such better seats of first row. In fact, during all over the trip, nobody even tried to seat, even for a very short moment, in any of the vacant seats of first row.... Thus, for them, for their "eyes", the vaccant seats were with passangers...


As soon as the plane took off, and became in a stable height, I could understand, why nobody could be in such first row, from window to window. For them not knowing or hear of seeing or having to understand what they could not. And for me not having to provide any explanation or to avoid anything could “leak”, as if some “comments”. Thus the desk attendant was right. My “virus friend” had planned for the things take place in the way I was witnessing: being alone. Family deal?



Thus very soon I became aware, in fact, about what was the main and true purpose of such trip... Not the one that had been provided for bussiness reasons. But in any way I had first of all to fulfill trade goals that made they order me to travel to Italy. Also it was important for me going into a remote tinny village, not far from Venice Town, in search for genealogy data of a grandmother of my mother. It was to pay attention in the surnames in old graveyard. Also the “virus” knew that my return flight was to be concealed, thus I would have extra days in Rome and having more time to gather information doing some tourist to museum... I even went into Catacombs and Vatican.

In fact I could make, if from my "free desire" (without any compulsion), something in favor of my very old ancestors, not of these days, but from thousand years ago: very long deceased ancestors. That was something very personal challenge, Thus it was not a Church call or having some “blessing” for that and there was none promise of “reward” in case I would accept.

I accepted… Thus there was no more a “virus” traveling and I could understand that vaccant seats were occupied by persons I couldn’t see, but the others (crew and passengers) could see. Thus for all purposes the “seat reservations” was fulfilled and continued up to the landing. Thus when it came the dinner, I had such lunch, as if had not taken place. And then, in due time, I raised the arm supports (separating seats) and I made a nice bed from some seats and I slept nicely. Why should I be worried? Some persons were on duty, on guard; even I couldn’t see them… There is no reason to be affraid of something or to become mistic or not having lunch or sleep...

In Rome I first traveled to such industry, manufacturer of the equipment I should test and approve. And then I did some travel to see such equipment under normal use conditions. Next I rented a car and traveled long, to nearby Venice, to search for the genealogy records of my mother’s ancestors. And then I returned to Rome.


I phoned my wife and I told I had two challenges to face in Rome. For one she told mw to save my credit cards and money in the hotel safe, as she reasoned it could be something “risky”. Thus I will not tell about such challenge…

The other was something easier, simpler, safer… nicer, as something to provide “pleasure as satisfaction”. It was to provide (in my Latin modern language…) like a “preaching” to my righteous ancestors, as those who died in Coliseum, where the speech was delivered. It is just a "private family" speech...

It was to preach for “very old deceased members of my family, over thousands years", as if they were to be gathered in so great group of persons”. Thus it was to take care, because I was to provide such teaching, not for the tourist people hear (from all over the World, making so great babble, noise, of mixed voices with mixed languages…), but for the people who had died, of my family.

I made a speech (sermon) for them hear as “living persons”, because they were to be listening to my sermon. If I could say proper words, they would “rejoice” with the good news for them.

Thus it was just for my family gathering, nothing to do with Church members in a general way. It was not the assignment or “call”.... What is wrong to make a “sermon” to family tribe?


As I returned to the Hotel, I was happy because such airplane two “suggestions” had been fulfilled. I was not to receive some reward or any retribution for that. I did that exactly in favor of the “ancestors”, my family.


I hoped the things would end with the “Sermon speech”. But as I arrived in the hotel (in the very center of Rome, a very good and expensive hotel…), something very interesting took place.


I have a very good vision (wearing my glasses…) and I could read even very tiny letters. But I notice as if my vision was “blurred” or out-of-focus for things related to Book of Mormon, as it appears with so many obscure points and data.

Thus, suddenly it was as if some “scares” started to fall from my eyes and suddenly I was able to “see and understand” things that I had never realized, as I had seen visiting Vatican, Catacombs, Museums, etc. Suddenly it was becoming better and better the “vision”, as more and more veils were being removed before me... (It was not my usual vision that improved, at it remained correct with glasses), but the eyes of mun understanding started to open and "see".

Even something “subtle” as if being able to “see” what is behind to what we see (with eyes) but we that is possible with our understanding, our reasoning, or intellectual enlargement… It was something very good, probably like an almost blind person that has removed their old natural lenses (opaque) and replaces them with a new optical lenses inside the eye.



Thus very soon I could understand, more and more, amazed...

By the first time I was able to “see”, that the “Nephite’s ancestors”, of Book of Mormon, in fact were just “members” of my genealogy big “tree” and with them being just a “small branch” of my people. Thus they listened to the “Sermon”, also.

Thus very soon I could conclude, as from scientific evidences I had collected without knowing for what, that they departed from Italy (probably from nearby Rome…) as to come to America Continent. Suddenly I got a “torrent” of evidences, that all the time were before my eyes, and I couldn’t see.

Thus I could understand why there are so many my ancestors, in Italy (in Rome) that have the same name (or very similar, due to over 2,000 years of language corruption...) as among the Nephites.

Having just one “good information to base upon”, for a scientist if more than enough, to have a steady point to place the lever to move great things, even the World (Archimedes'), even if ignorant people make mockery about true honest work to go on with the information, enlarging it to reach full disclosure, new discoveries from a very tinny but important discovery.

Thus a very large amount of information “locked in Book of Mormon” was suddenly made available for modern true scientists make research on them.

THIS IS A TRUE ACCOUNT.
