Sacred Grove

Hello everyone! On June 11th my husband and I celebrated three years of marriage! Originally we never even had the day together due to work conflicts etc. but somehow it opened up and was possible to do something together before he had class at 6 for the fire dept. Andrew has the best sort of luck when it comes to winning prizes off of the radio and he win this concert at lunch time with an up and coming artist. However in my mind I knew where we needed to be together on our special day. I felt the need in my heart to go to the "sites". These include Joseph Smith's farm and the Sacred Grove, Hill Cumorah , Alvin Smith's grave and an LDS store in the village of Palmyra. We shared this special day with Elder Kyle Willis and Elder Alex Anderson. This was the second time visiting many of the places and the feelings I had were completely different then the first time. I learned more about Joseph Smith and all that he and Emma went through to have children.  This builds my strength and testimony of faith  and endurance. I loved going to the LDS bookstore and gift shop and finding great books on loss and just about anything else you could think of. Not many members of the church will ever make it to these beautiful sites. And I live a little over 40 minutes from them. I touched things Joseph Smith touched and walked on the land he did when first trying to decide in which religion is for him. 

I have been reflecting a lot lately especially with my brother and sister taking their first lessons. Everyone positive in my life has had some soft of faith and wanted to be a good person. Easy to comprehend right? I never saw these correlations until last night. Try and surround yourself with positive people.
