A fantastic short video that will help you appreciate the beautiful mathematical structure of nature. You’ll never look at a shell, flower or insect the same way again ;)
In the day of Nephi, son of Helaman, many had given up on the prophecy of Samuel the Lamanite coming to pass. His prophecy said that in 5 years the sign of the Messiah’s birth would be given. I’m sure…
