My Great-Grandparents worked and lived on the Joseph Smith farm while my Grandfather was a boy. This was where my Great-Grandfather and Grandfather labored and toiled. How amazing to plow the same earth, to tromp around the grounds and be in this sacred place where such important things happened for mankind.

What cute cousins!

Elizabeth with a hint of attitude in that pose - what a goof!

The Sacred Grove:
You don't have to travel here to gain a testimony of what took place, but there is no denying the spirit and the sacredness one feels here. There is an opportunity, as you walk the quiet path, to ponder what took place. God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ did appear here. God loves us. He continues the pattern set for over 4000 years in the Old and New Testaments of revealing His word and His plan to his children. THAT is what the Book of Mormon testifies of. Of the continuation of the Father's love and His hope that we will follow the Plan so that we might be with Him again...forever and always.

Poor McCall: She has the worst mother ever who packed denim Capri's, and a lightweight cotton sweater over a tank for this day. She was by this time hot and irritated with her mother for such poor planning.
We love all the cute cousins and the sweet girls to look up to.
