Our 2009 Youth Conference to Palmyra, New York & Kirtland, Ohio was wonderful!
We had a dance at the local ward building the night we arrived.The Sacred Grove...
Being in the Sacred Grove was a very peaceful experience. It was different than I imagined. I imagined that it was one clearing but there were many paths with benches throughout. Many youth found quiet places to meditate, pray & read scriptures. I found a quiet path and spent some time alone in prayer. I'm so thankful for that experience.

The Hill Cumorah Pageant
We hung out for a couple of hours before the dress rehearsal of the pageant. We got to meet the cast beforehand. I found some of my old friends from Ricks College who were performing in the pageant...the Brasiers. I hadn't seen them for 13 years.
The pageant was SPECTACULAR! I highly recommend it.

The trip was a quick one but full of great exeriences. The photo below of me "pulling my hair out" was not indicative of the trip...I had a wonderful time and I would do it all over again!

I've really enjoyed stalking your YC pics. I think you managed to capture the spirit of the Sacred Grove really well in your photos. I think I may have to steal it for my desktop wallpaper. Hmmm... stealing a photo of the Sacred Grove. Irony?
I agree with Janet, I love the Sacred Grove pictures. Very pretty and I could just imagine being there!
Thanks Janet & Leanne! I LOVE photos of trees and the Sacred Grove was a perfect place! I was REALLY missing my wide angle lens that was stolen but I worked with what I had. I really wanted a shot from the base of a tree all the way up...oh well. I'll have to go back!!
