So I just recently stumbled onto Andam-Ondi-Ahman. This is the location where Joseph Smith revealed that Adam and Eve existed after the Garden of Eden. Now I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to this place because someone told me, "It's just a big field." Well when I got there they weren't wrong, but they were also not right. It wasn't just any ordinary big field. It was a giant field that was in the middle of very dense trees! Not a little mountain meadow but a huge one! In addition, I have never understood the name Adam-Ondi-Ahman. BUUUUUUUUT I know a little more now. When Joseph was learning more about languages he inquired of the Lord what God's language is. We have learned in the Bible that God's name is Elohim or that is the pure name we have called him. In this instance though Joseph Smith learned that his name is Ahman. Through further translation and investigation one of the possibilities of the meaning of Adam - Ondi - Ahman is: Where Adam became like God. If you think about that, this isn't where Adam was resurrected, this wasn't his place of judgement, this wasn't heaven. This is the place Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden and became Mortal. They became like God once was. Very interesting. Love you T. Caleb Perkins 801.425.3487
