Back cover: Top left, Chilean missionary Eugenia Belén of Calama serves in the Chile Osorno Mission; top right, Church members in Viña del Mar gather for Sunday meetings; below, the Santiago Chile Temple, dedicated in 1983. When Chile was dedicated for the preaching of the gospel 40 years ago, local Church members accepted their responsibility to share the gospel message. Now they are blessed with a harvest of some 20,000 converts a year. See “Chile—A Fruitful Vineyard,” page 34. (Cover photography by Michael R. Morris.) Inside back cover: Jesus Asks to See the Nephite Records, by Robert T. Barrett. After the Savior had expounded to the Nephite disciples all the scriptures which they had received, he said, “Behold, other scriptures I would that ye should write, that ye have not.” He then directed Nephi: “Bring forth the record which ye have kept. … [And Nephi] brought forth the records, and laid them before him” (3 Ne. 23:6–8).
