We had a great weekend with Betty & Vern Knowlton from New Hampshire. We visited the Hill Cumorah and the statue of Moroni.
Got to tour the Grandin Print shop where the first copy of the Book of Mormon was printed, the Joseph Smith Farm and Sacred Grove and the Peter Whitmer Farm in Fayette.
We also visited the Palmyra Inn where there is a very interesting small museum containing artifacts from New York and Ohio. Many of them date back to Book of Mormon times and some artifacts appear to be Hebrew in origin.

One of the other interesting activities we got to do with the Knowlton's and Kate & John was a
visit to the Bishops Storehouse which is close by. My friend, Elder Green, here is giving us a tour.
The organization of the Lord's Church is evident in everything in which we are involved. I think the church has recently made available to non-members the opportunity to come and purchase food for home storage at these Bishops Storehouse canneries.
Although we don't have much room for storage, Sister Parkerson has been storing up, canning, freezing and drying food for winter. Given our economy it may well be needed this winter.
Before leaving Kate & mom decided to compare heights. Mom is decidedly shorter. We enjoyed every one's visit so much. We enjoy sharing the history and sites of Western New York. Our love to you all.
