Elder McVea standing by the "Moroni Tree" named by President Christianson. Coleman thought this was the tree but I did not. So, I silently prayed that Pres. Christianson would just happen to come to the Hill to settle the problem. I knew he had out of town friends visiting so the probability of him showing up at the Hill was almost nil.
While there Coleman took pictures of some of the taller trees. Notice the branches do not grow on the bottom part of the trunk. They only grow on the top of the tree where they can access sunlight.
We had spent about 40 minutes on the Hill and as we came to the top we saw Elder & Sister Servoss hunting for acorns. They did not see us when this picture was taken. Sister Servoss cleaned the acorns up and painted them with a clear varnish. She gave me some for souvenirs.
This is where the miracle comes in. While we were talking with Elder & Sister Servoss, guess who arrived at the top of the HILL? President and Sister Christianson with their guests, the Martin family from Provo, UT. Br. Martin had just been sustained as a member of our Stake Presidency in the Edgemont North Stake back home. Small world.

President gave ALL of us a tour of the Hill showing us not only the "Moroni Tree" but an area on the HILL where you can look up in a small clearing and see this, "The Cathedral" called by President. By the way, Elder McVea had picked out the correct Moroni Tree which was confirmed by President.
