Adam ondi Ahman

We recently visited Adam Ondi Ahman, a historical and religiously significant site maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Benjamin's parents are missionaries there, maintaining the grounds.


This is Preachers' Rock, Joseph Smith Stood on this rock and organized the 3rd stake of Zion. Maddie stood on it and posed.

We found some great tress to play in by the east overlook. The grounds are all well cared for, and from what we heard, there was a lot of work put into making them look this nice.

The kids called this the 'family tree'. We do all like to climb trees.


We went to a park in the nearby town of Gallatin and played. There were a lot of mud puddles, and three of the four kids got so incredibly muddy that they had to go home in different clothes.
Benjamin's Parents, Ben and Melody, are in their element. You could not design a missionary experience more perfect for their abilities and talents. Ben's dad drives around tractors and backhoes, while his Mom does indexing for family history work. The sisters also do community service and seem to have a lot of craft projects going as well.This was an incredibly fun, spiritually uplifting family vacation and I hope to go back a lot over the next year while Ben and Melody are serving their mission.
