I am grateful for your work. As an adult convert I had to gain the spiritual knowledge from God that the Book of Mormon is factual. I have never doubted that. However, your thoughts on Nephites in Europe can still help individuals like me. Because my father is almost 1/2 indigenous South American, I was slightly disappointed when my Patriarchal Blessing said that I had the gift of faith through Ephraim. That irrational dissatisfaction disappeared through the years as I matured, and as my wife and I had spiritual temple-related experiences that confirmed how extremely important LDS temple ordinances are to some of my direct European ancestors. Maybe I have some Nephite blood, but much more likely is that my wife has Nephite blood.
