Elder Holland's Testimony: The Book of Mormon is the Word of God

Powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon.  I love Elder Holland talks.

Cache Valley 2016

We went to Logan to visit my mother in the Sunshine Terrace Nursing Home.  We wanted to time our visit right so she wouldn't be at lunch, so so  took in a brief lunch time series show at the  tabernacle.  They were two guitarist, not my favorite but they were very talented.  We also made a quick trip to Hyrum, and then on to Porcupine Dam.  Paradise has really changed with new churches.  I visited the library in Hyrum, but the museum wan't open.

Logan Tabernacle

We saw a deer on the way to Porcupine, and a pheasant on the way back.  They were too fast for pictures.

Behind Cove

We went looking for the new ski resort behind Richmond, and ended up on back roads between Richmond and Cove.  We again saw a nice deer.

Del Monte where I use to work in  Franklin, Idaho.  We use to process beans and I worked on a conveyer.

Side Trip to Carthage

Carthage is more a place for medication than site seeing.  The tour of the jail makes you look inward, and see the prophet Joseph Smith and his brother.  The docent did say the Joseph was leaned against the well, and his death made sure.  There was a pauper cell, next to the cell where they were when attacked.  This cell was much different.  However the place where they were attacked was more like a bedroom, in fact it was the jailer's room he had given to the prisoners so the would be more safe. Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith were killed.  John Taylor, through wounded survived.  Willard Richards passed through without a wound.
