“In the Thirtieth Year”

Brant Gardner

Textual: Mormon’s transition from Helaman’s letter to Moroni’s next actions restates the year. The letter from Helaman has covered a number of past years, and while he had indicated that it was the thirtieth year when the insertion of that letter began, he restates the year to be clear about the timing of events.
