Sunday in Adam Ondi Ahman

 We have LOVED this time in Missouri.

Boyd and Carol Fife are wonderful, accommodating hosts. We have a comfy apartment they've provided, they've fed us generously, driven miles and miles over country roads, shared sacred sites and histories. And we've seen fun things, too! 

Sunday before church we took a drive and walk through the beautiful Tower Hill area of Adam Ondi Ahman. It's lovely. It's Sacred. It's really old. The improvements are appreciated. There has been much hard work done in recent decades to make it a place to feel the Spirit. 

Some photos from Tower Hill area.

We attended the Gallatin Ward with them  on Sunday more. Their Ward is large and four wards meet in their building. There are lots of youth; two well-prepared young men gave talks in Sacrament Meeting, and the Sunday School teacher was phenomenal.

We went home to our place to change, and Mike had a cat nap. I sorted and edited photos on my phone. Boyd and Carol fixed what she SAID would be a quick light lunch. But it was really a feast. So we ate! 

And then we went on more drives and walks to historical sights. They drove us to Breckenridge.

They have a millstone from Hauns Mill in their city park.

Then we drove to the Hauns Mill site. Or the area that it probably was. There's nothing left of the mill, the settlement, or anything.

Now, THAT'S a burl!

It's so fun to hang out with people who also love and appreciate big beautiful trees. And there are lots of them! We love it. Boyd's measuring, not hugging.

Next stop, Far West

Then back to the Fife's for a quick " little bite". Pancakes, plus. 

We made arrangements for loading up the truck in the morning with bins and lumber we will bring home for them.

And time to say goodbye.
