We went to the Printing Press that printed the Book of Mormon. What a neat experience to hear all that went into printing the Book of Mormon. It was not easy for them, they suffered so many trials and persecutions, and the process took them so long, yet they came out triumphant and rose above the persecutions to bring forth this book which I cherish and am so grateful for. We visited both Joseph Smith's framed and log house. It was so beautiful there and so peaceful. You could feel the spirit all around to each site we visited. I can't remember the numbers but the Smith's harvested the Maple from all the maple trees in the forests around and made sugar and maple syrup.
In July we had the opportunity to drive up to Palmyra with my Mother in law and our cousins and my aunt Pam. It was so fun and the pageant was amazing! These pictures of the pageant were very hard to get and it took me a little while to figure out as no flash photography was used! So I had to do them minus the flash and being far away with a telephoto so this is the best I could do! more pictures to come of the rest of our activities in Palmyra!
