Joanne Hannon in her element!  She would serve lunch every Tuesday to the sisters in her ward as well as anyone else they wanted to invite.  Lissa Cotter came several times with me.  The meals were delicious!  She did not allow anyone to bring any food, she provided it all and it was never the same.  Br. & Sister Hannon were Seth's cast team leaders our first year at Hill Cumorah Pageant in 1998.  She still serves in the "Wigs" department at Pageant.  They are getting ready to serve a mission.  They will be fantastic and the mission that gets them will be blessed!

Tom Baldwin in the foyer of the Geneseo Ward.  He is much like a big "teddy bear".  All the children love him.

 Sisters Jensen, Servoss, Christianson, Cox, Wall, & McVea.  Farewell to Sister Cox who was going home.

Elder & Sister McVea, Sister Tirrell, and Elder &Sister Servoss.  Sister Tirrell (who came out with us) gave us a tour of the Peter Whitmer Visitors Center and Log Home.  This a reconstruction of the cabin where the church was first organized April 6, 1830.  The same airspace where the saints met that first Sunday and held many subsequent conferences and meetings.  This is also where the Book of Mormon translation was completed as well as many revelations received by the Prophet Joseph Smith that are now contained in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants.
