Family Came To Visit!!

Last Wed My mom dad and brother-in-law Nate came and visited Joseph and I in New York. That night we went to the temple to do a session. After we had the opportunity to do some sealings and it was such a neat experience.

The temple there is very pretty.
The middle window that you see in this picture is called the Hinckley window. When they were building this temple, were you see the windows was where offices were suppose to be. When President Hinckley saw the plans he said that the office was to be taken out and made into a hallway. This was because these windows look out to the Sacred Grove. The middle window is the only window in the temples in all the world that was made clear so you could see straight out to the Grove.
All around the grounds were BEAUTIFUL flowers.
In the Palmyra Temple you have to have your own clothes so my mom brought me some out so I would be able to go with them. I got this bag to put all my stuff in, Its so cute I love it:)
On Thursday we went and saw the Smith's house and farm and the Sacred Grove. You will not believe it but I saw my friend Jen there (she is serving a mission in New York) She was in Student Government with me at Dixie:) She is so cute I love her.
Sacred Grove


From the Grove this is what you see:) So Pretty
We stopped by the visitor center that was right next to the Hill Cumorha.
WOW 107!!!!!


This is what is on top of the hill.
For lunch we went to the Chill and Grill, it was so good:)
This is their KIDDIE cone:)
It was so cool to learn how they made the Book of Mormon back then, Hard work
Friday, We drove to Kirtland to see all the Church's sits there. This time I was able to go inside the temple. It was amazing how much work they put into it.
N.K. Whitney kept record of everyone that bought stuff from his store. Both sides of my family came in Israel Barlow from my moms side and Ebenezer Robinson on my dads side:)

This is one of the 4 places in Kirtland the Savior and Heavenly Father appeared.
Then we went to the Johnson's Farm, They were a very wealthy family. As you can see from their decorated fireplace. They made butter and cheese. In this house was another place Heavenly Father and Jesus appeared
When Joseph and Emma stayed with the Johnson's this is where they slept. Joseph was dragged from this bed and tared and feathered.
ON Sunday we drove up to Canada to see Niagara Falls. It was so pretty.

They had some fun shops to see .

Monday my family flew back home. It was so fun to have my family come visit. Love you guys thanks for coming:)
