Notes
The artist is a medical doctor in the town of Williston, North Dakota. He wrote that “this wood carving depicts a Russian laborer pondering Moroni 10:4–5 from the Book of Mormon. I chose this subject to celebrate a modern pioneering theme. . . [and to illustrate] the miraculous spread of the Gospel into the former Soviet Union and eastern block countries.”
