Angela and Rostand

We had so much fun hanging out with Angela and Rostand this week! Angela came up to cut the Hershey ladies' hair (thank you Angela!) and Rostand played a lot with the kids (thank you Rostand!). Its great to hang out with newly weds so much in love! In the words of Claire Bridge, 'ahhhhhh, they're perfect for each other.'

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.
