# Moroni 1

*Simple English*

### Moroni Hides from the Lamanites

I, Moroni, finished shortening the record of the Jared people. I thought I would not write anymore. But I have not died yet. I do not let the Lamanites know where I am, or they will kill me. They have very fierce wars among themselves. Because they hate us, they kill every Nephite who will not say that Christ is not real. I will not say that Christ is not real. So I wander wherever I can to stay safe. So I will write a few more things. I thought I would not write anymore. But I will write a few more things. Maybe they will help my brothers, the Lamanites, someday. This is what the Lord wants.
