"God" and "Heavenly Father" are not the same beings. Elohim, the Mormon Heavenly Father, was a mortal extra-terrestrial who attained divine powers and ascended to a higher plane of existence. The Judeo-Chrisian-Islamic "God" is an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent being who has no beginning and no ending, whose form and nature, if any, is unknown to humans. It's

You'll also need funds to pay a foundry to melt down the gold and roll and cut it into 6"x8" sheets that are 3mm-4mm in thickness.

It was the best present I've ever had.
