After enjoying a guided tour with the sister missionaries at the Smith farm, and spending some very peaceful moments in the Sacred Grove, we drove the short distance to the village of Palmyra situated on the south bank of the Erie Canal. Here, among other points of historical interest is the actual print shop where the Book of Mormon was first published. While Linda visited an LDS bookstore next door, Terry entered the print shop and bumped into a large group of students from BYU-Idaho University and their professor and guide, brother Nate Williams in the midst of being instructed about the publication of the Book of Mormon as part of their tour of Church history sites. I interrupted long enough to shake brother Williams' hand and tell him we were parents of Jeffery Chapman of the Religion Department. He said, "Of course! Brother Chapman! I was just with him at West Yellowstone just a few weeks ago!"
So, before we left I had to take a picture of the tour bus to memorialize this unexpected encounter. It is a small world, no?
