We woke up and went to church, which was conveniently a few hundred feet away from the Inn, then had lunch meals which we had bought the night before. (Good idea! We were so tired of sandwiches) After we had filled our bellies we piled up in the car and went sight seeing. We visited the Grandin Press, Erie Canal, the Temple, the Smith Family Farm, the Sacred Grove, and the Hill Cumorah.
SO AMAZING!
My favorite part? Obviously the Sacred Grove.
We had gotten a tour of the Smith Family Farm then were allowed to walk the Grove. Not only was it Sunday, which is a spiritual day as it is, but we were on grounds with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ had been. Each of the Girls; Alisha, Michelle, and Sarah walked on their own and Mom, Dad, and Adam walked together. I can't tell you the things I felt and the words I heard because I could never do justice, but I will tell you this.
God Lives. His son and our beloved brother Jesus Christ suffered and died for you and me, that we may return to our loving Father who is trying so earnestly to help us get back to him. I know the Father and the Son appeared to Joseph Smith and instructed him to not join any church but later instructed him to be an instrument in the Restoring of Christ's Church on the earth today. I testify of God's love for his children and all the many blessings which we can not even begin to understand. He is always with us, will never leave us, and will never forget us, even if we forget him.
In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen
