Palmyra Temple Group Missionary Pictures!

We are getting Group pictures  before the 6 month Missionaries leave on the 29th of October.  It is kind of a sad time knowing that our time here is coming to an end.  We have come to love each other, and will miss our close association  on a daily basis at the Temple.  It feels like home for us now, and we will miss our Temple  family experiences here!  

Above is the side of the Temple that is the windows in the Baptistry.  This area is one of everyone"s favorites!  I will miss the groups of youth that come often.  There is The Bissic family who come regularly, and they feel like family to all of us.  

Last week a large group from West Point came to do Baptisms.  They even had 5 or 6 sisters in their group.  What a sharp looking group of LDS  warriors  doing amazing things! 

Thanks to Brother Brent Walton, our photographer, we hope to have some great pictures of everyone to remember this  sacred time together.  

When we finished the photo shoot, we went to President Blacks home for FHE where Sister Black gave a wonderful presentation on the Art works that are displayed in the Palmyra Temple, and also on the Stain Glass Windows and doors in the Temple as well, and their significance in the  sacredness of their design.  

Needless to say, it was a memorable evening for everyone!  Sister Black is a very classy woman, and we have come to love her and president Black so very much!

This has been a very sacred place to serve, and we will bring our sacred experiences, and our new found family home with us in our hearts!  They have touched our lives forever, and we are grateful for our sacred connections.  

If you get a chance to come here you will not be disappointed.  Last week there was a family staying in the apartments behind us.  We left our Tandem bike on the porch for them to use.  The farther and son went on a ride to the Sacred Grove and when they got to the Sacred Grove,  they were greeted with the sound of the 2 Sister Missionaries playing  Hymns with  their Violins in the Sacred Grove.  It was a perfect welcome to them as they entered the Grove.   It doesn't get better than that!  A perfect moment for many people that day.  This happens often, and is unforgettable for those who are lucky enough to share those sacred moments.
