It was fascinating to learn about the first printing of the Book of Mormon.
From there we went to the Whitmer Farm.
This is where much of the translation of the Book of Mormon took place and where the church was organized. To think we were able to stand in the same room as these original saints did was humbling.
From there we headed back to Canada and a much easier border crossing!
Jennifer’s mission boundaries extended to the area known as Thousand Islands. We decided to see the area by boat. We boarded in the town of Gananoque (Gan a knock way).
The boat ride took us along the Saint Lawrence Seaway. One side was the US and one side was Canada.
We saw the world’s shortest international bridge.
The houses (mostly summer homes) were amazing.
The contrast really struck me between the humble beginnings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Whitmer farm house and the excessiveness of the opulent homes where perhaps nothing quite so significant took place.
