More Church History

We are grateful for our opportunities to visit some great church history sites while we've lived in the midwest. We have been to Nauvoo, Independence, Kirtland, and last weekend went to New York to see the Sacred Grove where Joseph Smith prayed to know which church to join and was visited by God the Father and Jesus Christ. We also went to the Hill Cumorah where the golden plates were hidden and found and translated into the Book of Mormon. It was an awsome experience to be there and feel the spirit of the Holy Ghost testifying of the truth of the things that happened there. Everything was so beautiful, and the weather was perfect.

We had lunch at the top of the hill. Then walked to the monument of the Angel Moroni.
