Headed Home! Can't Wait To See You.
This has been quite the adventure. It was the first tour of its kind ever in the annals of the restored Church. (At least we like to think we are special) We were lucky enough to be part of an LDS group (a very interesting make-up of people) to visit the Land of the Book of Mormon. If you agree or not agree with this geographic model, it was still fun and very exciting. We had lots of lectures by Wayne May, Rod Meldrum, Harman Rector, Jr. and Mary Ellen Eggren. No time was wasted while on or off the bus. Our driver, Paul, who was a great sport and a funny guy, had his ears filled. He thinks we are nuts and he is right. Paul was as daring as us. inasmuch he drove into some very tight spots and narrow roads, where buses as big as ours were not suppose to go. Our group was diverse. Several widows, lots of seniors, some as old as 92 and as young as a day and a half. We, however, shared the same belief that the Book of Mormon lands are right here in North America. I recommend seeing Rod 
Meldrum's DVD on the DNA and Wayne May's DVD on the archaeology. I also recommend Waynes 3 This Land book series. Nevertheless, whether you believe that the Book of Mormon took place in North America, Meso America or Indonesia (some really do!) it is the message not the geography that remains most important. No matter how many artifacts or ancient cities or petrogliffs are found, the authenticity of the Book in substantiated by spiritual means only. Who wants to go next year?

This is my first attempt at a blog. I thought I did a very decent job. Except for the grammer, spelling, puncuation, sloppy prose, goofy sentence structure, I think I did okay. It was a lot of fun, even though I didn't get a lot of sleep. I need to add a few things and spruce it up. I am going to try some video clip downloads. I don't think very many people saw this. It might be a good idea to just hit the deleat button to the blog.
What great posts you have done throughout your trip. I have loved all of the wonderful pictures and explanations. I thought your blog was great. I can't wait to see you guys. Love ya nic
