Excitement over the South American lands and people grew among Mormons in the early 20th century. Previous missionary work among the local Native Americans had produced less fruit than expected from Book of Mormon prophecy, and many felt the southern lands held more potential. Other were interested in discovering Book of Mormon geography and artifacts.
In 1922, Andrew Jenson and Thomas P. Page embarked on an expedition south, traveling through Panama and observing the local ruins. They returned to the States almost a year later, recounting their observations and encouraging others to prepare to preach the gospel there. In December 1925, the First Presidency opened the South American Mission.
