MISSOURI

After leaving Nauvoo Illinois, we travelled southwest to Jamesport Missouri.We knew we were in Amish country when we saw the signs that looked like this.
This is a phone booth. The Amish don't have electricity in their homes, and they have these phone booths along the road.
We stopped at an Amish store....it was powered by propane. In the bathroom there was only a skylight. This carriage was parked outside the store.
We were stopped on the road by this house being moved. One of the road workers told us the Amish do this all the time, so it goes pretty quickly. We were only stopped for a few minutes.
Adam-Ondi-Ahman is about 10 miles from Jamesport. It is an important site to our church. It has been revealed that this is where Adam blessed his righteous posterity before he died and where the Savior will come to gather with all the ancient and lattter day prophets to gather the keys of the last dispensation. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place.
