'What happened here changed the world, let it change your life'

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to go to Palmyra, New york to visit the Joseph Smith sites and I have to tell you, it was amazing! Saturday afternoon we went to the temple and it was the first time in 5 years that I've been there! It was a spiritual, amazing and comforting being there. Once I walked through the doors, it seemed like all the challenges and trials i'm going through right now didn't matter. After that, we headed to the sites and saw the log home, frame house and sacred grove. I had the same feeling in the grove that I had in the temple and again, it was awesome! As I was walking through the grove, headed for the exit, I got a prompting to turn around and look at the grove from where I was standing. As I was looking at the trees and the beautiful flowers, I thought how much that my life has changed when I learn more of Joseph Smith. Its my all time favorite church story and I love it! So, as the subject of my blog, that phrase ran through my mind as I was looking back at the grove. As a friend of mine said after we exited the grove, 'how can you not feel the spirit walking through?"

What happened in that grove, changed my life more than I think everyone knows. I love hearing about Joseph Smith and what he went through. He is a great person, seer and revelator. He never once let anything or anybody get in his way and he never gave up. When it all came down to it, he loved everyone and everything.
