2nd day at Palmyra

Martin Harris Farm (oops! this was actually the day before)

Its a beautiful home.  

Joseph Smith's log house that he lived in as a boy when he was

wondering which church he should join.  Then he read in the 

scriptures in James 1:5 which says, "If any of you lack wisdom,

let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; 

and it shall be given him."  

He loved this grove behind his house and decided to go out in

the grove and pray out loud to find out for himself which church

he should join.

This log house is actually a replica (but the church does their

very best to make sure it as close as possible to the way it 

would have been.

The bedroom where Joseph would have slept, where he

was visited by Moroni.

A beautiful view of the Palmyra Temple

This is the frame house that the Smith's moved to for a short 

time.

In the frame house there are several walls that are original

and this fireplace is original.  Under this very brick the plates

were hidden for a short time!

My family sitting around together in the eating area of the

Smith home.  It was a wonderful experience!

I can understand why Joseph chose this grove to come to 

pray!  The minute you walk into it, the spirit is so strong

and its instantly quiet and peaceful!
