A monument near Harmony, Pennsylvania, in remembrance of the restoration of the Aaronic priesthood to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery.

The plaque at the bottom says:

"John the Baptist, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in the Restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood.
"This event occurred on the banks of the Susquehanna River the fifteenth day of May 1829 near Harmony, Pennsylvania.
"Joseph Smith in his writings states:
"A messenger from heaven descended in a cloud of light. And having laid his hands upon us, he ordained us, saying:
"Upon you my fellow servants, the the name of Messiah I confer the priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.
"Doctrine and Covenants - Section Thirteen."

My family and I had the opportunity to come here, and to go down to the the part of the Susquehanna River where this is believed to have happened. It's so beautiful, and I felt the Spirit so strongly there. I'm very, very grateful for Joseph Smith and all that he did, with the Lord's help, to restore the true gospel to the earth. And I'm so glad that we have that full gospel.
