"Joseph Smith's role in bringing the Book of Mormon to light began with his first major religious experience, later known as the "First Vision." On this occasion, while praying for religious guidance in a grove near his home, he said he was visited by Jesus and forgiven of his sins. Later this vision was interpreted as a divine call to restore the true church of Christ to the earth, which Smith said had been lost through apostasy from the original teachings of Jesus' apostles. According to Smith's account, the work began when a heavenly messenger named "Moroni" appeared in a dream or vision. Moroni informed the seventeen-year-old Smith that an ancient record had been inscribed on metal plates that were gold-like in appearance and that these had been buried anciently in a hill near Smith's home in upstate New York. This record was said to have been written by prophets who lived in ancient America. Moroni was, in fact, the last of those prophets and the one who buried the record in the hill centuries earlier while in the flesh. Although Smith did not immediately receive the plates, he began to focus his attention on preparing himself to receive and translate the record. Over the next four years, he met Moroni at the hill once a year to be subjected to tests of worthiness until the angel determined that Smith was ready to receive the record. On the morning of 23 September 1827, his wife waiting nearby, Smith received the plates from the angel."
