"I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. . . . When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other–This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!" (Joseph Smith–History 1:16-17).
I remember many years ago as a high school student, traveling to Palmyra with the Acappella group and stopping at the sacred grove. I remember it as if it were yesterday. we gathered in a circle , held hands and sang "Joseph Smith's First Prayer". I remember not one of us having a dry eye,we were all over come with emotion! That was the time that I first knew the church was true. I have longed to return to that sacred place and to feel those amazing things that i felt that day. I would love to travel there with my husband and our children, To let them see what I saw and feel what I felt! What a wonderful opportunity it was for me and memories i shall never forget.
