Read the beginning of the Book of Mormon where God calls Lehi and later Nephi as a prophet. As far as why aren't there these kinds of miracles seen today? The answer is simple. We are a very disbelieving and wicked generation. That is why the gifts of the spirit are infrequently seen.
I just need a location.
The location needs to have had extensive farming of the crops mentioned in the Book of Mormon. There needs to have been animal husbandry of the animals mentioned in the Book of Mormon. I guess we need some cement structures and a temple. Metalworks. Chariots. Stuff like that. Oh, and longer lifespans and bigger families than anywhere else in the world at that time.

While Lehi was in Jerusalem - you fail to grasp that the priesthood is the power of God. God can give it to anyone that is faithful. Lehi was such a person (and so was Nephi.
Oh, the location of the Nephites? They landed somewhere in Central America is my guess.

I guess that explains why the prophets can't get it right about not being able to become Gods. So when are you starting your own religion?

They had the priesthood (a.k.a. power of God). God can do things like heal the sick, cause plenty of rain to fall, etc. Those little miracle things that the Book of Mormon mentions from time-to-time.
What a bunch of crap..
We're that true the migrating Mormons would not have suffered the death and losses crossing the plains.
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it. Nehor.. Nov 08, 2010

You are assuming the migrating Mormons had been faithful. They reason they were driven across the plains was because they had NOT been faithful. Make sure you understand the history of the church before you make poor assumptions.

Lehi was not a Levite and as such had no right to the priesthood. Remember, God discriminates.
Landing "somewhere in Central America" is not particularly helpful. If they had such robust agriculture and long lifespans they would have left their trace on the land. Where is it?

Lehi wasn't using the Levitical priesthood. And there are lots of ancient ruined cities and civilizations in Central America.

I am unaware of any that fit the bill for what is described in the Book of Mormon. Perhaps you can be more precise. Lots of ruins does not a match make.
If none of the Lehites had the Levitical priesthood they couldn't have had a temple and performed the sacrifices required by the Law of Moses. No priests.
