Day Three

Well my worst fears were confirmed this morning. It snowed. I guess I should have taken some pictures of the snow. Luckily it was only flurries and by the time we got out of church they had stopped. I guess on the bright side I can now say that I have driven while it is snowing. We had breakfast at the hotel and then off to church.

Once this block of meetings were over we came back to the hotel and had lunch and then headed over to the sacred grove. It was beautiful. We read from Joseph Smith History and just kind of wandered around a lot. We were in the grove for about an hour and a half to two hours.

After the grove we had a tour of the Smith Farm and the surrounding buildings. It was super windy and freezing, but we had a blast.

Bottom: The Log Cabin and the homestead 85 % of which is original.

Too bad they don't know exactly which parts.


Then we drove into town and tried to play a visit to the place that the Book Of Mormon was first published, but they were closed for filming a documentary of some sort.

So we drove to the Hill Cumorah Visitors center and a trip to the top of the hill completed our Palmyra experience.

Then we drove back to the hotel, had dinner and settled in for the night.

Check back tomorrow for more of the adventure.
