Today we visited the homesite of Joseph and Emma where he began the translation of the Book of Mormon, the place where the Aaronic Priesthood was restored, Palmyra, the Sacred Grove, the Hill Cumorah, and Joseph Smith's family farm. If I had to pick a favorite day I think this would be mine. We got to spend over and hour in the Sacred Grove. I felt the spirit so strong. It was amazing to sit in the place where Joseph was visited by God the Father and his son Jesus Christ at the young age of 14. What an incredible young man. I love the Book of Mormon and it was wonderful to be in so many places that were important to its coming forth.
I would love to visit in the fall!
This is the Susquehanna River. I loved all the trees and rolling hills.

The Hill Cumorah was our last stop of the day, What a great way to end a busy day. Lloyd wanted to wander around and see if we could find where the plates were buried :)
