May 16, 2016 Update

 Here we are at the North Riva Ridge Chapel on Fort Drum.  It is Thursday night Institute.

Teaching--So much fun.  He does such a great job.  You can really feel the Spirit of the Holy Ghost attend our classes.

We took a trip to Palmyra with some of our Institute class.  Most of them are soldiers and had never been to the Sacred Grove, the Printing Press, Hill Cumorah, Alvin's grave and the Temple.  Picture taken from Smith Farm looking towards the Temple.

Mom/Grandma made this landscape from a picture we took.  You can see the Temple from the Joseph Smith Farm.

In the Sacred Grove From left to right
Jordan, Diana, Victor, Abby, Jared (Chris was a way off).  It has been such a thrill to see Testimonies really grow and become stronger.  This Church is truly awesome and it changes lives!

Flowers from Bishop Buettenmuller's garden.  Given to Mom after we spoke in Sacrament Meeting May 15, 2016.  He always has beautiful flowers in his flower gardens.

We spoke with Elder and Sister Jenkins from Payson, AZ.  They will be taking our place in July.  They sound like a great couple and they are very excited to be coming to Ft Drum Etc.  They sound like really sweet people.
