September 18, 2010 - Missouri


Spring Hill at Adam-ondi-Ahman
Today we visited the rolling hills of Adam-ondi-Ahman, the temple cornerstones in Far West, the Liberty Jail, and the Visitor’s Center in Independence, Missouri.  This was the first time that either of us had visited these sites.  Adam-ondi-Ahman was much more beautiful and spacious than either of us anticipated.

Tonight we enjoyed a visit and dinner with George and Susie Van Komen who are currently serving as the Mission President and wife covering the area encompassing all the sites we saw earlier today.  The Van Komens are from Mom and Dad’s Monument Park 13th Ward and Susie Van Komen was a special Sunday School teacher to Marcus.  We enjoyed feeling the Van Komens’ enthusiasm and spirit.  We ended the evening with a torrential rain with blazing lightening and thunder.
