Our time in Palmyra NY was just wonderful! Going from the hustle and bustle of the city..........this was a welcome spiritual feast.
This is the Palmyra Temple. We sat in the grass and beheld it's beauty. The weather was hot and muggy, but we didn't care, we just enjoyed it.
If you look closely at the windows, The Sacred Grove is depicted in the stained glass windows.
This is the Smith Family Home.....where the young Joseph Smith prayed to know which church he should join, and after reading James 1:5 decided to go into the grove of trees behind the house and go to his Heavenly Father and ask.
This is the only picture that turned out because my camera was acting up. It's blurry, but we went in and sat along benches that are along the 10 acre woods and felt the Spirit. Just as we came out of The Sacred Grove, it began to downpour and the wind blew so bad people were running for cover. We got drenched, but again, we didn't care. Being there gave me a feeling of peace.
In this replica of the Smith Family home, the family spent time reading the Bible together at a table much like this.
