The Mormons believe in a Third Testament, The Book of Mormon, first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith, in like Early Modern English of the King James Version of the Bible.

The text was said to have been revealed on golden plates in an original language called "reformed Egyptian."

I've seen Greg incidentally at Starbucks café on Lulu Island for some years, but only today morning, on the 14th of August of 2022, we formally introduced to each other.
