> the smith farm yesterday. we have a replica (build on the
> real foundations) of the log home which the smith family
> first lived in when they arrived in palymra.  my favorite

> where the church was orgazined on april 6, 1830 (and also
> where the last pages of the book of mormon was translated)!

> christ's atonement in our lives? do we have faith enough
> to do all that he asked us to do? i mean, "we are

> i dont have that much faith) than to change it! do something
> to increase your faith in our savior and our father in
> heaven.  i promise you your faith will increase!!
