We spent Friday and Saturday in Palmyra New York.
Driving through the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania....beautiful like home!!!
Peter Whitmer Sr. home in Fayette New York, where part of the gold plates were translated into the Book of Mormon. Also many revelations from the Lord which are found in the Doctrine and Covenants were recieved here.
In front of Christus statue at the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center in Palmyra New York.
Angel Moroni Monument sits on top of the Hill Cumorah was dedicated in July 1935 by President Heber J Grant.
Each of the 4 sides of the pedestal has an inscription...this one depicts the Eight Witnesses of the Book of Mormon.
From top of Hill Cumorah looking down at all the chairs (stage is at bottom of picture)
This is looking up at the stage. I took this in the afternoon....the production didn't begin until dark...aboout 9:15. See how many people were already there waiting? There were thousands that night.....not only were the chairs filled, but people brought blankets and sat all around the back on the grass. .
Vignettes depicting the main stories from the Book of Mormon ran together to create one story. It was incredible! Out of the stage came mists and fountains, fire and waterfalls. There was lightening and the earths destruction with volcanoes erupting depicting the cruxifiction of the Savior..... the scenes were so lifelike!! As the story unfolded, scenes were acted out on the different pedestals. In this picture the Savior is appearing to the Nephites....he is raised from the top of the hill down to one of the pedestals. This is the best picture I had. (My camera was dying). Enlarge it for the best view....the pageant goes Tues. through Saturday this week as well.

I'm loving reading about your trip. It's bringing back so many memories. I'm impressed at how quick you are at updating!
Michelle-Jon brought his laptop. I've had to stay up really late to do it most nights, but we're having such a wonderful time we want to share it!!
Thanks for posting again! Now I have a better idea about what the stage looks like and the chairs you were talking about and the size of the hill. I am so glad I am a member of The Church and have all the blessings of the gospel in my life. I am supposed to be writing a talk on the gift of the Holy Ghost for Weston's baptism on Saturday but I took a minute to check on you. Love you, Sis. Keep on blogging! :)
