She remembered going there as a small child and said she enjoyed … [Read more...]

Between the Backstage Tour and Pride and Prejudice we visited Cedar Breaks National Monument. There was construction going on at the visitor center with areas roped off. I last saw Cedar Breaks over 25 years ago and it was bigger than what I remember it. We didn't have much time there but it was worth the drive. I did get a few photographs which you can click to enlarge. Cedar Breaks, according … [Read more...]

There are also several comely “tarts” selling Elizabethan … [Read more...]

She finished the original manuscript by 1797 in Steventon, Hampshire, where she lived with her parents … [Read more...]

This week was just as great as last. We were extremely busy and were doing all we could to teach, find, and help people come to church. We were blessed with success and had eight investigators come to church. We are excited for a baptism in about two weeks. It has been quite the effort to find people that are ready, but we should be having more here in the future. The Spirit has helped us so much … [Read more...]
