Best Answer

The founder of the Latter Day Saints movement, Joseph Smith, claimed that on 21st September 1823, he received 3 visits from the angel Moroni, who told him he would be a most significant person, that a book written on gold plates will be obtained and translated and that a priesthood will be revealed to him.

The church Smith founded was named 'The Church of Christ' in 1830. Soon after, it was loosely called the Church of Latter Day Saints. It was renamed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1838.

Why are Latin Americans strong in Mormon faith?

People of many naitonalities are strong in the Mormon faith. One reason why it seems Latin Americans are is because many of them emigrate to the U.S. It is not as common for a European Mormon to move to the U.S. Also, Latin Americans tend to be very religious anyway, regardless of the denomination. This has sometimes been attributed to the humble circumstances many of them live in.
