The Toronto's

"We were able to go out to dinner with the Toronto's the other day.  We went to a great restaurant at the top of Lake Canadiagua which is just South of Palmyra.  The Totonto's seved with us at Cove Fort for a year and a half.  He was one of my assistants there, and she was my secretary.  They are great and we will miss them when they go home in about six weeks."  - Elder Lynn Haskell

Here are photos from the Sacred Grove.  

We saw this boy reading and 

asked if we could take his picture.  

A minute later we passed his parents on the path and a woman said, "Hello Haskell's".  

It was Janet Allen.  

The Allen's lived next to us when David & Alma were born, and we have been close to the parents since.  

In fact we served with them at the MTC Mission, as we recommended them to be called to serve there.  I taught Janet at American Fork.

June 2012 - more photos

The Log Cabin, on the 

Joseph Smith Farm,

 and next to 

the Sacred Grove.

The last two photos show the sign to the visitors center and the rest of the pictures were taken from the sign looking up Stafford Road 

where we live.

Our home is just a couple of blocks up the road or about where the car is in the last picture.  

So we are really close. 

We just walk to the grove.

The Peter Whitmer Farm

Peter Whitmer Farm

In the Peter Whitmer log home, many key events in Latter Day Saint history transpired. During the six months Joseph and Emma Smith lived with the Whitmers, a good portion of the Book of Mormon was translated there. It is near this location where The Three Witnesses were shown the plates by the angel Moroni. Also, the official organization of the Church of Christ (later renamed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1838) is said to have taken place here on April 6, 1830.

Peter Whitmer, Sr., his wife Mary Musselman Whitmer, and their eight children, Christian, Jacob, John, David, Catherine, Peter Jr., Nancy and Elizabeth Ann resided here.
