This is our own Sacred Grove at the Morley Farm near Kirtland. It is a lovely place. You must take time to go there sometime.
The Farm is closed from November to April as everything we do is outside. From the photos I hope you can see why we love this place also. We only serve here every ten days and otherwise we are an hour away at the Johnson Farm closer to where we live. These are both very important places in Church History and we feel such a pleasure in serving at both. Come see us anytime.
Isn't Elder Orton cute? We are so thankful to be such good friends as well as good companions. We see some other couples who are not so happy serving side by side and being together 24/7. But since that is one reason I marriede Mark Orton in the first place, it works perfectly into my plan. I am thankful we can communicate, talk, visit, laugh, dream, share, have fun and plan for the future (forever). Even though this is Missionary work, we manage to have our version of fun too.
Tornadoes were all about us on Septembr 16th. We had taken our Prep Day down to see some sites a couple of hours away. We were near a place named Wooster. After we arrived home, the winds and rain decended in amazing torrents; beating against our windows. We learned later, the tornado hit in Wooster where we had been only shortly before. No matter how exciting being in a tornado might sound to you, I was very happy to be snug in my own place of abode here in beautiful Ohio.
