Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial Grounds


We have had beautiful weather this week. There are 2 other missionary couples who work with us. Elder & Sis. Lamb from Arizona and Elder & Sis. Sanford from Maine. We are the "greenies". We had the Sanford's and Wilson's (we are renting their home temperately) to dinner Tuesday night. The elders usually work together & the sisters work elsewhere on the grounds. Nephi built some picnic table frames, loaded lots & lots of wood chips from old tree stomps and leaves onto little Gater carts to dump in compost pile. The ladies and I raked the forest for 3 days then got the flower beds ready for planting. Today, we cleaned up around a kiosk for maps, etc. and transformed the small wilderness area into park like space. The elders actually helped us today and it was so nice. We are planning to transplant some fern from the forest into the transformed area tomorrow.
