TODAY WE VISITED HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND CAPE COD!

TODAY WE DROVE DOWN ALMOST THE WHOLE COST LINE IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! WE SAW ALL THESE LOBSTER CAGES THAT WERE JUST WASHED UP ONTO PEOPLES BACK YARDS.

RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THIS WE FOUND THE BEST FRESH FISH RESTURANT IT WAS CALLED CAPTIANS PARKERS AND IT WAS TO DIE FOR!

WE WALKED ALL AROUND HARVARD UNIVERSITY TODAY IT IS A HUGE CAMPUS AND THE BUILDINGS ARE SO NEAT. IT WAS SO WINDY AND COLD THAT WE COULDN'T LAST VERY LONG SO WE TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES FROM THE CAR. SORRY IF THE PICTURES ARE A BIT DIRTY!

JUST SOME REALLY COOL BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON!

WE FINALLY ARIVED IN BOSTON TODAY! :)

AFTER BEING IN THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS WE FINALLY ARIVED IN BOSTON!
IT IS VERY COOL HERE WE HAVE ONLY VENTURED OUT A BIT BUT TOMORROW WE WILL HAVE THE DAY TO PLAY!
WHEN WE ARRIVED MOM WAS SO EXCITED TO MEET THE OTHER SISTERS, SO WE HEADED RIGHT OVER TO THE MISSION OFFICE AND GOT TO MEET JUST A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE MISSIONARIES. THERE ARE MUCH MORE THAN WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE. 90% OF THEM ARE FROM UTAH AND THE REST ARE FROM CANADA AND BRAZIL.

TODAY WAS ZONE CONFRENCE SO WE DIDN'T GET TO MEET PRES. ENGLAND BUT SHE WILL MEET HIM THIS SUNDAY!

THE SENIOR SISTERS WERE VERY FUNNY AND THEY SEEMED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME! WE LEARNED THAT THEY JUST KINDA THROW YOU OUT IN THE FIELD WITH NOT MUCH DIRECTION BUT YOUR TESTIMONY AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN THE GOSPEL!
WE ALSO LEARNED THAT MOM WILL BE SERVING VERY CLOSE TO CAPE COD AND MAYBE PARTS OF CAPE COD. THAT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY HARD WORK. IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE PEOPLE THERE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND THERE ARE SEVERAL INACTIVE MEMBERS SO IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S GOT HER WORK CUT OUT FOR HER!

I THINK MOM WILL DO GREAT HERE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY REALLY NEED SOMEONE THAT CAN PUT IN LONG DAYS AND THAT HAS A LOT OF ENERGY LIKE SHE DOES!

OUR 5th DAY ON THE ROAD!

THE SACRED GROVE! NEED WE SAY MORE!

WE GOT TO VISIT THE HILL CUMORAH AND MOM WAS WAS SHOCKED WITH HOW BIG THE HILL WAS I THINK SHE WAS MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE HILL AND WALKING UP IT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

OUR 4 DAY INTO THE DRIVE AND WE GOT TO GOTO PALMYRA NY!

NIAGRA FALLS

MOM COULDN'T RESIST FEEDING THEM POPCORN

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

RIGHT WHEN WE GOT TO NIAGRA FALLS IT WAS SO FOGGY THAT WE COULDN'T EVEN SEE THE FALLS. BUT I THOUGHT THE CITY WAS PRETTY COOL WITH ALL THE FOG. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS THE FOG CLEARED AND WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE FALLS.
