March 2, 2017

Bob: Woke up to 20°F and snow this morning. Thought someone had moved us back to Haileybury. Supposed to quit snowing and get into the mid thirties here. It is in the 40s in Philadelphia where we are headed tonight.
Stopped at the Priesthood Restoration site. A senior Elder took us on a tour of the site. We saw restored homes of Isaac Hale and Joseph Smith and learned many things about the translation of the Book of Mormon done in Harmony, PA (Mosiah to Moroni). Everything prior to Mosiah was translated at the Peter Whitmer farm AFTER the work was done in Harmony.
The weather did warm up this afternoon, but the wind never died down. This kept it cold enough for winter coats. Quite a change from yesterday.
We're in Philadelphia now. Going to attend a 10:00AM session at the temple tomorrow morning.
Well it's time to get ready for bed. Hope you had a great day. Love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie: Bob has explained our day well. One of the best parts was walking down to the Susquehanna River where Joseph and Oliver were baptized. It is a special place. Our visit ended with a hymn sung by four of the sister missionaries, "Abide With Me". It was absolutely beautiful, especially the last verse sung in four part harmony. So well done and so awesome!
We need to retire early tonight so we can be to the temple on time, so good night and sleep tight everyone.
Love, Mom/Bonnie
