WOW!!! Like wow! (Bartok--Anastasia) Palmyra is amazing! I think I have used that adjective a lot on this blog. (Please feel free to leave me some substitute ones.) First thing this morning we went to the Palmyra Temple. It was gorgeous! The stained glass was beautiful, and the temple itself was surrounded in beautiful landscaping. From one portion in the temple you can see through the art glass into the Sacred Grove. That is cool! I went down to the Sacred Grove after that. I was a little sad that I didn't get time to go into the farm house, but I guess I went as a little kid, so that is okay. It is amazing to think about how this Grove was at one time just an ordinary bunch of trees and now it is one of the most sacred places on Earth. The Lord really did appear to Joseph there.
The bus loaded up after lunch and we went up to the Hill Cummorah. I remember being there as a little kid, trying to get up closer to the pageant with Dad. I tell you what--that Angel Moroni sure picked a pretty place to hide his record! We also went to E.B. Grandin's Print Shop. After imprinting scriptures at Gales I can't even imagine typesetting a whole book!
We finished off the day in Fayette. We are headed to Niagara Falls in the morning.
