Palmyra, NY - January 2012

Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center




 Book of Mormon - every nation, kindred and tongue. 


Joseph Smith's room

 Smith Farm House





Sacred Grove

In January, the boys and I visited family in Rochester, NY. While there, we had the chance to visit LDS Church history sights in Palmyra, including the LDS Visitors Center at the Hill Comorah,  the Smith family farm and the Sacred Grove. It was a memorable and remarkable experience. The grounds at the Sacred Grove are peaceful and calm, and I felt so warm and comforted to be there. It also stood out to me the humble surroundings in which the restoration of the LDS church began. But from this small spot on the globe, wonderful blessings have poured to god’s children all over the world.  At the Hill Comorah Visitor’s Center there is a circular table displaying Book of Mormons in various languages.  We may all come from different backgrounds, with varying cultures, languages and experiences, but we are unified as we are all God's children.
