When I told my parents I wanted to serve a mission, my mom said she wanted to take me on a church history tour. We thought we'd rent a car a do it all by ourselves but we found a tour through Morris Murdock Travel and figured this would be much easier ...and it was!
Earlier this June my mom, sister and I all embarked on a 9 day church history tour throughout Palmyra, Niagara Falls, Kirtland, Independence, Far West and Nauvoo. It was such an amazing experience and I learned so much. It was inspiring to see the places that I have heard stories about my whole life.
What a neat experience it was to spend my Sunday morning in the Sacred Grove. Since our tour group was the only ones there that early in the morning it was very quiet and peaceful.
What made the tour even more interesting for me is that we followed the same chronological path that the saints did. We started in Palmyra and ended in Nauvoo then flew home to Salt Lake.
Our tour guide was incredible. His name is Joel Judd. He is such an inspiring man that is full of knowledge and the spirit!
***And for all my london friends... The Judd's went to Israel with The Seely's for a year! We had a long chat about how much we love the Seely's.***

I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to visit these places as preparation for my mission. The trip definitely strengthened my testimony!
The church is TRUE!!!!
