The place where this man had his first religious experience is home to the six "Witness Trees", which are old enough to have been there when it happened. That place is called the Sacred Grove. During another experience, this man heard the voices of the apostles Peter, James, and John in the woods, announcing the re-establishment of the Melchizedek Priesthood. In another event, this man and a companion saw a man descend from heaven and anoint them before introducing himself as John the Baptist. In this man's first vision, both God and Jesus appeared and told him that all existing churches were wrong. In this man's most famous vision, he was told that the Sword of Laban was on Cumorah Hill by the angel Moroni, who also spoke of gold plates. For 10 points, name this prophet of Mormonism.
