We had Zone Conf. at the Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center on the 4th of Sept. We had a break after our morning session so everyone could hike to the top of the Hill Cumorah and enjoy the monument and ponder about the wonderful things that happened there.
They have been painting the bldg. down at Fayette and the Whitmer farm. This is the Fayette Ward chapel. The wing on the left is the Visitor's Center part. It is a beautiful bldg. and really big -- especially for a single Ward chapel. It is way out in the country amidst the farming areas and the corn fields. But it is so beautiful there and very peaceful. No wonder Joseph Smith came to this special place to finish translating the Book of Mormon from the gold plates.The old Whitmer log home is off to the left of this bldg. and that is where the Church was organized on 6 April 1830. The Visitor's Center area and the log home are the objects of our tours there in Fayette, Seneca County, NY.
On this day they finished painting and refinishing the dome and spire on top of the chapel, it was done in gold leaf and looked so pretty, especially with the sun shining on it.

Good job! It's great to see new pictures, and it was good to talk to you the other day. Hope Dad enjoyed the BYU football game, and we're sorry about Gwen, though I'm glad it was so peaceful. Take care...keep up the blogs!
