Family Home Evening






We thought that for family home evening tonight we should share with our family some of our experience here in the Sacred Grove. We have loved walking in the grove, pondering in the grove, and taking pictures in the grove. We have felt the peace that dwells there and have had the confirmation of the spirit of the experience which Joseph had in that grove. We know of the experience we each can have in our own groves.
The first picture was taken when we visited last November of 2007, the second in the cold, cold winter of 2008, the third in the early Spring of 2008 and the fourth in the beautiful Summer of 2008. We have found that each season has it's own beauty and reflects the same spirit.
As you look at the pictures of The Grove in several different seasons read as a family the story in Joseph Smith History chapter 1 verse 11-17. Then feel of our testimonies of this event and of the love we have for each of you and the wonderful choices you are making.

The Hills



Then in May Pat, Diane, Joseph, Louis and Carrie came. Our next question is who and when is our next visitor, however, we seem very busy now so perhaps after Pageant. However, if someone decided to come before we would welcome them with open arms.

Next Came Jenni



Our next visitor was Jenni. She came and spent a week in April.

Visitors to Palmyra



It has been way too long since I posted a blog so here we go again. We have had several family members come visit us since we have been here so I thought we would post pictures of their visits. It is now very hot here and very humid. So humid that everything feels a little damp, clothes, sheets, paper, chips, nuts, and of course the air.
