Christmas morning we left early for Palmyra New York. Here we are at our first stop, hiking up the Hill Cumorah where Joseph Smith received the gold plates
We went to the Sacred Grove where young Joseph prayed after reading in the New Testament, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, and his prayers were answered here at this Grove
We stayed at the Palmyra Inn, A beautiful place homey and a great hot tub
The next day we went to Jims home in Lewiston in Northern New York, Here is where he spent his High school times. This beautiful home sets on a hill over looking the Niagara River. After we went to Fort Niagara where he worked.
The highlight was going to the Palmyra temple where we could enjoy the sacred feelings of worship and helping others who have passed before. I really miss not having a temple right in our back yard, oh, we do! It is being built, only 40steps away from our Apt in downtown Philadelphia,!!! Soon we will be able to see our new temple with the completed spires and no scaffolds to block the beautiful detail. We look forward to the open house of our temple here in Phily
Yep, that's where we stayed! So beautiful!
