Sunday Outing

Last Sunday Joseph and I went and visited the Joseph Smith Farm and the Sacred Grove. It was such an incredible experience.

Joseph's log cabin when he was a boy. This is where he saw the angel Moroni

Their pantry.

One of the beds in the cabin

Outside the house.

Look how many trees there are. Joseph's family cut down more then 300 trees a day to clear room for their farm.

In the frame house the Smith's moved in, when the kids got older, was the fire place Joseph hid the plates. One of the missionaries said that one night when Joseph and his family heard a mob coming they grabbed pots and pans, started screaming and ran out their back door. This made the other mob think someone already came and got the Smith family:) They were super sneaky:)

Walking into the Sacred Grove

Trees like this one and some that were even bigger covered the farm before the Smith's got to Palmyra. Think of how hard that would be to chop down and dig up this big of a tree.

The Sacred Grove. It was so pretty and so peaceful.

Dinner Goal:)

We got our dinner goal last week, we went to T.G.I.Fridays after we got rained on in the pageant:)

Pageant 1st attempt:)

Here are a couple pictures I got when we went to the Hill Cumorah the first time:)
This is the huge stage they do everything on

The distribution center

There were a couple people holding up protest signs when you walk in. There are a couple of younger girls doing it which is sad. I guess there is a really rich anti Mormon guy here and he pays people to come hold signs all night.

Couple of guys in the pageant

Here are some kids:) I love the girls hair on the left:)

Brooke, one of the wives out here new the lady in this picture. I really want to do this next year:)

Brooke and her little girl Bridget. She looks sad in this picture for some reason

I was not very close so my pictures did not turn out the best but here is Lehi's dream. Whenever there was a dream or a vison they sprayed water up and it made the scene look foggy. This made it have the effect of a real dream:) Way Cool:)

Not even 1/4th of the way through it started pouring, here is Nicki and her husband Lane.

Joseph and I waiting for the rain to stop. It never did:(

Hill Cumorah Pageant

Well last Saturday a bunch of us went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant but about a 4th of the way through it started pouring on us and they cancelled it for the safety of the cast. So Last night I went this Brooke (a wife out here) and her two sisters.
I can not describe the felling I got when Christ came. I felt like the Savior was really there and he was working his way through all of the people to come and see us. There was such a great spirit there. Its amazing how much you can feel the spirit through a play like this one, it was truly a great experience to be able to see that pageant. I am so sad that Joseph was not able to see it all. I want to come back next year and be apart of the Pageant, I think it would be so much fun and a great opportunity:)
Once I get my cord to my camera I will post more pictures:)

Cedar Point

Next week all of us wives might be going with our husbands to the city they are selling in which is really close to Ohio. Ohio has one of the biggest roller costars in the world at their theme park:) Kilee (A wife out here) loves theme parks so we are going to spend a day at Cedar Point:) I am super excited:)

I Love Chocolate:)

So about five hours away from us is the Hershey's Chocolate World:) Since are hubbys are gone I want to go down with some of the wives and spend a day there:) I am excited:)

No pictures this week:(
