Megan in Independence, MO

We continued our drive home and went a couple hours out of our way to go to a few church sites in Independence, Missouri, where my sister Megan just happens to be serving a mission. It was so great to see her and have her show us around the visitor center. It was absolutely amazing! It was not very busy that morning so we got an extra long tour. She is an awesome missionary and has a great testimony that she gets to share everyday. She is also learning a lot of church history, which is fun too. We had so much fun visiting with her and seeing the great visitor's center. Jocelyn and Ellie with Sister Maxfield
Me and my little Sister. We are so proud of her.
The visitor center has these TV's in the little houses where you can watch different LDS commercials or clips about life and families. It seemed like the theme of them all were to get you to cry- it really pulled on the heart strings.

We also stopped at Adam-ondi-Ahman and admired the beautiful view.

We took a tour of the Community of Christ's Temple. It was very interesting. When you stand in the center of the building and look up it looks like a giant seashell.

Luckily we are not traveling like this. We love our mini-van!
