We went to several locations in Joseph Smiths life today. Harmony Township where he met and married his wife, Emma Hale and where he had his first home of his own. It's also the site where much of the Book of Mormon was translated, with the aid of Oliver Cowdrey.
Original Foundation of Joseph & Emma's Home
Along the banks of the Susquehannah River, John the Baptist, and some days later, Peter, James and John, all resurrected beings appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdrey. They restored the authority to act in God's name and conferred upon them the Priesthood of God. We know the place and date of the visit of John the Baptist. He gave the power to baptize with water and Joseph and Oliver baptized each other following the instructions of John the Baptist.
The Susquehannah River
We travelled to Fayette, New York to the Peter Whitmer Farm, where the Church of Jesus Christ was organized on April 6th 1830 according to the laws of the State of New York. There is a reconstructed frame home on the foundations of the old house, built to be as accurate as possible.
Staying for 2 nights in Victor, New York to see many sites and events near here.
