We have had a very eventful week! We began the week by taking a group of Young Adults to a concert and fireworks in the Watertown Park. The Syracuse Symphony gives a concert and then the fireworks follow. The whole twon shows up and it was lots of fun! Everyone puts out chairs and blankets on the hillside and has a great time. We took a gift and dinner to a young couple with a new baby, made three trips to a disabled soldier's home to fix his washing machine, made some visits in Clayton, attended a birthday surprise party and made lots of other visits. The best part of our week, however, was when we saw those two big motor homes pull up at Hill Cumorah! It was so great to see everyone and we had a great day together. We toured all the sites at Palmyra and the kids were great. The pictures are of the stage and chairs at Hill Cumorah set up for Pageant. The other picture is in the Sacred Grove. We loved the Pageant and we all made it through to the end. The next day we spent the day at the campground with the family and made a trip to the outlet mall nearby. We drove home that evening and tried to get back in the missionary groove. It was so fun to meet Carter even though his lip quivered every time we held him. Everyone has grown so much. We are ready now to get back to work and do nour best these last few months! We send our love to all. Mom & Dad
