Christ in the Americas

In 3 Nephi 11:13-15 it states, "and it came to pass that the Lord spoke unto them saying; arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.  And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands nad in his feet: and ths they did do going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record that it was he of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
In 3 Nephi 17:25 we seethat more than 2500 felt the prints in the Saviors hands, feet and side at Bountiful.  If each person took on average 15 seconds to do so, this would have roughly taken about 10 hours and 45 minutes, which is quite an accomplishment when compared to our average 8 hour work day, just so the Savior could prove to each individual who he truly is.
