This trip has been great overall. My testimony has been renewed and reaffirmed. I am grateful to my sister for planning the trip and inviting me to go with her and her friend Denise. I am grateful to my ancestors who accepted the Gospel. I am grateful for my parents and their example. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and His Son. I love my family, and am so happy to be home (in about 4 hours). I have really missed them. I'm so happy that Manda and her family will be here soon, and we'll all be together again. Families are Forever!

Another 364 miles of driving today, and we'll reach Nebraska. Along the way we will visit the Kanesville Tabernacle in Council Bluffs, and Winter Quarters.

| Winter Quarter's Temple |
Landon and I attended this temple back in 2007 on a church history tour before his mission. It is adjacent to the cemetery where so many saints were buried during that terrible winter so long ago. The stained glass windows on this temple are spectacular.

Small world once more
The Hinckley Window
President Hinckley wanted a clear window (we usually don't have clear windows in temples) so everyone could have a clear view of the Sacred Grove.
You can't tell in the pic, but the window in the very center is the one.
Day 12 - Another Day in Palmyra, New York
aka the Hill Cumorah Pageant.
Tiana, Erika's daughter will be in the pageant this year,
25 years AFTER her mom :)
I am so thrilled for her.
