Wallace Kirby

Sometimes people enter your life unexpectantly.  This is how we came to know Wally Kirby.  His brother in law, Malcolm, is my step-father.  When Malcolm passed away, in January 2013,  Elder Bushman and I made a trip up to Seattle to take some of his belongings to his sisters.  We had been corresponding with Malcolm's family for about 20 years...now we were going to meet his other sister Gloria.  We went to Wally & Gloria Kirby's beautiful home.  We were introduced to an ailing Wally.  We were so impressed with the love Gloria has for her husband Wally.  He passed away on the 12th of May 2014.  So I am inclined to include his obituary on my blog this week.

I saw on facebook that my oldest son was in Seattle working this week.  As he was sending pictures of being up in the needle etc. my mind wandered to how Wally had enjoyed these same tourist spots, loved his own sons and had raised them in the Seattle area.  I pondered these cousins that my son missed meeting.  I know that Wally and Gloria had a good marriage and some wonderful times with those boys they raised.  Gloria & Dorothy & Bob (Malcolm's siblings) you can be proud of your children's heritage.

I have been on Family Search trying to extend Malcolm's Genealogy and this week I learned that his own father had a step father named William Lovell.  I found this in the 1900 census records.  William's wife was Smalley Viola Lovell.  I think Malcolm told me his grandmother was named Viola Samatha Matheny & his grandfather was Thomas Brown. (I can't find records for them anywhere)  So if any of the Brown family can correct this for me I would appreciate an e-mail.  I need to know who Frank Hosha Brown's parents were....I know there is a story of sadness there...I can feel it in my own heart that Malcolm wants me to link this puzzle.  

I gave up working much on my own family history, but do a lot of indexing so people can solve problems like the above puzzle.  If you have not gone to family tree and used the cousin search, I suggest you do so.  It is just fun to discover all your cousins from way back when!

Elder Bushman had a 24 hour flu bug...so I went to the temple alone yesterday the 21st of May.  I still have a black and blue chest and sore collar bone from my fall last week...that is showing signs of pink skin finally.  Anyway, when I went to the temple yesterday the grounds crew had dug up all the pretty grass around the temple and made a muddy mess...it kind of went with my mood this week.  So this should be the the "Bla g" this week...ha.  

 I tried to catch a photo of Elder Bushman feeling better today, the 22nd, standing by the sick grass of the temple...all around the entrance to the temple the ground crew cut out big chunks of grass.  There are beautiful lilac bushes to the side of this picture and lovely flowers along the inside of the walkway...too bad you only see mud and patchwork grass.  The grass that is left is a beautiful green...too sad the rest looks so terrible.

We also decided to walk in the Sacred Grove this week.  The sun was shinning and it looks beautiful in this photo, right?  Not so, there were puddles of water and mud all around with mosquitos that found us both quite tasty and there were spider webs that we kept walking through...ha...There was a helicopter hovering around this week with big cameras on it.  We heard the Church is making another First Vision film...we can't wait to see which version of the First Vision they use.  I wonder if it will show Joseph slapping mosquitos as he prays....just wondering.

We understand the producer of this video is a Navajo Indian and that he is an awesome Lamanite....too fun that he is in charge of such an awesome project for The Lord.  Hurrah for Israel!

I finished "Walking on Water" today.  Alan Christoffersen ends his final walk across the nation to the Keys in Florida....He began in Seattle....(Ironic I know) where he was broken hearted at the death of his wife McKale...This is a series of 5 books...an awesome read...and proof that we can survive heartache and sorrow...and that we will not be immune to it in our lifetimes.  Those of you who know about my sea shell collection...will enjoy the shell story in this book more than I did...sob!

s as he comes to the end of his cross-country walk to Key West.

I hope some of you read about my experience, in the temple, with the sister with a walker that has MS.  Well, she comes faithfully each week and I got to visit with her for a moment last Friday night.  I was so touched to learn her name is Sister Sweet!  Some experiences in this life just get sweeter.

We drove down to the Peter Whitmer Farm today, May 23, 2014.  This is where the Church was organized in 1830, where Joseph finished translating the golden plates and where The Witnesses of The Book of Mormon saw the plates including Mary Whitmer.  This is where Joseph was ordained to the Priesthood.  This is a excerpt of the dedicatory prayer given on Easter Sunday in 1980, "May thy Holy Spirit abide here. May thy protecting power be made manifest in the preservation of these important scenes of history. May knowledge of thee increase and testimony of thy divine Son strengthen in the hearts of the many who will come with interest and depart with added faith and knowledge".

 They now have a beautiful visitors center next to the log cabin where the Whitmer's welcomed Joseph and his family to stay with them and all these marvelous blessings happened.  As you can see from the "Dome of the Rock" located on the top of the visitors center, the Gold Plates now rest on the top of the widows walk after Moroni melted them down and returned them to this sacred area where the translation was finished.  Now Moroni stands on top of all our temples in gold leafing to commemorate this sacred farm....Just making this up as I write....making sure you are reading this Bushman Bla..g.  It is a nice theory.  Under the dome is a Ward Chapel that would make Joseph proud.  It is used every week for meetings in this area of Fayette N. Y.  I believe I just discovered the "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow!   Hurrah for Israel!

 Many people drive past this visitors center and think it is a Muslim Islamic Temple because of the gold dome....perhaps this is the dome that The Savior Jesus Christ will return to and that is why Moroni is the lightning bolt to all our temples...what do you think of this beautiful "golden dome" in the middle of a Fayette N Y farming community?

Just below the Whitmer farm and on the shore of the Seneca finger Lake is a girls camp that the Church owns.  We were mesmerized at its beauty.  Below is the Palmyra Pod where the girls stay.

 The Pod below is The Fayette Pod.  Why they are called Pods?  I have no idea.

Below is the Shoreline the girls can use to go swimming and boating in Seneca Lake.  It is about an 80 acre, beautiful, camp.  I'm sure The Young Women love camping here. Three Harrah's for Israel.

So Art talked me into more travels on Saturday.  We went to Ace Hardware Store in Williamson NY...I saw a awesome wall fireplace that I would love to put in the Coffee Creek Home in Edmond OK...Then we drove to Lake Ontario again.  We introduced ourselves to this couple by the lakeshore. 
He told us all about Doug's fish fry at lake Skaneateles.  After he raved about it for 10 minutes, Elder Bushman asked if he is Doug...He said, "Yes".  Don't you think he looks like he just stepped off a skipper?  He is a fisherman.  I am a fisher of men & women...I hope we both get a good catch!  So our next travels will be to Doug's...on our way home from the Cortland Ward some sunny day!

 Next we went to see the Bluffcliffs on Lake Ontario.  We did not hike to see them, but sat by the Lakeside at Lake Ontario and enjoyed watching the birds dive for fish.  It was a beautiful lazy afternoon on this Memorial Day weekend.

Elder Bushman and I talked in the Courtland Ward yesterday....whew...that's done.  Then we got up this morning and drove to Harmony Pennsylvania where The Priesthood was restored.

 Susquehanna River

We then drove back to Cortland where the Hutchington's had a very nice Ward Memorial Day Barbecue.

Then I talked Elder Bushman to go to Doug's since I found one in Courtland:

 Doesn't this look just like him!  Do you think we can convert him?

We had our home evening with all the missionaries this evening and our lesson was on all the moves the Smith family had before they settled in Palmyra.  The young single adults from this area provided a dinner for all the temple missionaries...I snacked, Elder Bushman did not eat anything as he was full from the afternoon Barbecue.

I have often wondered if my Father, David Wade, knew he was going to die young at 41.  When my sister and I were little he bought us a birthstone ring and wished it on our fingers.  He then made each of us do the "pinky swear" with him.  He swore that no matter how far away from us he was, he would always love us and that we could be assured through this promise.  I hadn't thought of that for years, but remembering Wally and Malcolm in this blog brought back this awesome memory.  I Pinky Promise you that Our Heavenly Parents loves each of you, just like my Daddy David loves me!   Do your own children know that you love them?   I pinky swear to you that it is time to make sure they know.    

It has been a full week and a wonderful Memorial Day.  I am thankful for my Uncle Gene who died during World War II.  His war bonds paid for my birth and I am his namesake.  I'm grateful for Wally Kirby and all the other people in my life that have sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.  This has been a long week for me, but I am thankful for all I have learned.

God Bless America

VIEWS OF THE SACRED GROVE

When we first arrived in Palmyra we wondered if we would ever see Spring!  This is how the trees in Palmyra looked when we arrived in April.  This is in the valley below The Hill Cumorah.

The Palmyra New York Temple is the only temple that has a clear window to look out of.  It is built so we can see the Sacred Grove from the lobby of the temple.  Today when I stood at the window looking out the trees no longer looked like winter sticks but like the picture below.  I said to those standing by, "Oh, look The Sacred Grove Trees are finally getting leaves"!  A Brother Brown said, "It's looks like the 'Re Leaf Society' has  finally been working".  It took me a minute to catch what he said, but I have been giggling every time I looked out the window today.   What a good Society we belong to!  See the great service we may be assigned on the other side of the veil!  Hurrah for the "Re lief" Society Sisters!

Not only are the trees in the Sacred Grove leafing, but the apple trees are in bloom!  The hill country is loaded with apple tree blossoms, and of course Elder Bushman had to drive to see them between shifts at the temple.  No rest for the weary.  The orchards were full of beautiful trees and worth the drive.  Johnny Appleseed was busy in upper New York! (John Chapman, the tin pot hat man, was a nurseryman and a missionary)  Also good job "re lief" society, the apple trees are also loaded with leafs!

Sister Adair served with us in the OKC Temple.  When we were called to this mission she gave me a copy of this book.  It is the story of Willard and Rebecca Bean and their mission call in 1915 to Palmyra...which ended up lasting 25 years!  They were newlyweds at the time.  The book is awesome...a must read for any member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  They resided on the Joseph Smith Sr. farm and helped the church obtain the Hill Cumorah and many of the historical places here .  I was so excited when we arrived here and I could look up the many historical 

sites in this book.

 

 Then to my delight I learned that "Palmyra" Bean's, (Palmyra was the oldest child of Willard and Rebecca born in Palmyra) daughter and her husband are serving a summer 6 month mission with us.  Her name is Pam Smith & her husband is Emery.  I think she thinks I am a wierdo because I get so excited when I see her.  Below is a picture of Elder & Sister Smith.  I doubt many of the missionaries even know who she is, she is so low key and unassuming.  I had her sign my book and have bombarded her with questions about her grandparents.  She only remembers them as old, old people.  However, my enthusiasm has had its rewards.  She signed my copy of the book.  She just brought me a poem and a letter, about living on the Joseph Smith farm, that her mother wrote about living here in Palmyra.   They are in her original handwriting when she was a teenager.  I am one lucky person!

Lake Ontario: Sodus Bay Lighthouses:

We were going to Stake Conference in Syracuse New York so decided to take in some more sights on our way down to our evening meeting.  This Bay on Lake Onterio had these lovely lighthouses and tons of Yachts...The area was so beautiful.

We also went to Sauder's Mennonite Country Store in Seneca Falls, New York

Several of the missionaries had been there and raved about the food.  This day they were giving free hot dogs, soda's, ice cream, etc.  They had ballon's and hay rides.  We purchased a New York Atlas, some graham cracker pretzels, cheese curds, chocolate peanuts, chocolate sunflower seeds and some chips....yum was the word!  The women clerks wore the Mennonite clothing and covered their heads with little white bonnets.  They looked beautiful.  I read that the bonnets are because of a quote in 1 Corinthians 11: 26.  I guess with my hair cut short I wouldn't need to wear a bonnet...if I were a Mennonite that is.  I'm sure we will stop there again during our travels.  

STAKE CONFERENCE IN SYRACUSE NEW YORK
We enjoyed attending the Saturday evening session and the Sunday morning session.  We are beginning to know the members from the Cortland Ward and are feeling a bond with them.
The Cortland Ward did the music.  Saturday night they had a group of string players. Most played the violin.  They were fantastic.  Today they had a choir and sang two songs.  The audience & the women in the choir joined in the last two verses of the closing song "The Spirit of God" while the men sang the first two verses.  It was a very spiritual song to end the meeting with.  The Stake Presidency was changed and a new Patriarch was announced.  I loved this quote given last evening by Sister Moss especially after associating with the Mennonite group yesterday:
 “If it has been demonstrated that I have been willing, before Heaven, to die for a Mormon.  I am bold to declare before Heaven that I am just as ready to die in defending the rights of a Presbyterian, a Baptist or a good man of any other denomination.  For the same principle which would trample on the rights of the Latter-day Saints would trample on the rights of the Roman Catholics or any other denomination who would be unpopular or too weak to defend themselves.”  Joseph Smith, 1846

I pray we will not have to defend ourselves from our government again in the future.  I pray we can continue to have Freedom of Religion in America.  I am looking forward to a Zion society once again as promised in The New Jerusalem, beautiful Zion.  I sure wish this pain I have been suffering in this tabernacle of clay could be the travail that could help bring down The City of Enoch again.  One thing I know for sure is The Pageant will be held on The Hill Cumorah in July and it will spectacular....and just perhaps soon we can recognize Mount Zion, as written about in The Book of Mormon.  There was a very sacred event that happened in The Sacred Grove in the Spring of 1820.  Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to God & The Lamb!

We just returned from a Missionary Fireside on the many versions of "The First Vision".  We sang this amazing song:

Elder Jon G. Neeley wrote the above song as he drove through Oklahoma on his way to their Palmyra Mission from California last year.  He had just listened to Elder Bruce D. Porter's talk in May of 2013 General Conference.  Elder Porter inspired Elder Neeley to rewrite these words to this tune.  It is to the tune of "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning".  I hope all of our Oklahoma family and friends enjoy reading these words and singing this version of Oklahoma. 

There's a grove by the side of Palmyra....Oh, what a beautiful morning!

HURRAH FOR ISRAEL

We began the week by driving to Victor, New York to a movie theater.  We saw "Heaven is Real".  It followed the book pretty good.  The young boy that played the main character had mesmerizing blue eyes.  Of course the movie totally lifted my spirit....I look forward to the day when this grandma looks like the prime of her life again...and those that know me know I would prefer to twinkle even though I am not a star!

This morning at 6 AM I got brave and drove to the Palmyra Macedon High School and began my early morning swims again!!!  It has 6 lap lanes and I got a half of one to myself and it was totally awesome.  The school is about 5 minutes away.  They have early morning swim 4 days a week and charge $1.00 admittance...Tomorrow I am to serve from 8 am till 5 pm...should I swim?  Such a difficult decision...can I be ready in time....Oh My...swimming is so profound compared to the stationary bike I've been riding in the mornings.  Too bad I was born with such a negative attitude about exercising....but still loving the chocolate bars....Mitch Park Y in Edmond opened at 5 AM.  Too bad this one doesn't do the same..but I do so enjoy sleeping later.  Of course Elder Bushman can't understand all this wishy washy stuff...he just gets up and runs his 3 miles and then eats his hershey kisses all day.  What's the problem?  The battle of the metabolisms continues.  I still wear the fins and goggles like I did when I was swimming with this awesome group last summer!

The Palmyra Macedon High School Pool: 

Of course now the hair was driving me buggy as some days I need to be at the temple by 8:00 AM so I found out who all the ladies at the temple use to cut hair and talked her into an appointment at 7 PM before I started cutting it myself.  I'm so blessed to have natural curl.  I told her to cut it so I could run my fingers through wet hair and go.  Elder Bushman is jealous of my hair!  Ha!

Our travels today took us to another finger lake where we visited Watkins Glen State Park.  It was too long of a walk for me to go see all the waterfalls on the mountain...so Art took pictures at the top.  We drove forever to get there too...but Art enjoyed the driving and I napped.  I have a daughter-in-law Allyson who's maiden name is Watkins and so I thought of her all day! 

We have served in the Temple for two weeks and have about got the way they do things in New York down pat.  It is such a lovely temple and the people are so friendly.  Sometimes I feel like I am in Paradise just waiting to go to heaven to be with my departed family.  Other times, usually when I have served a shift in the office, I wonder if I can survive a year with this schedule!  All of you know the feeling, I am sure.  Then when I was warn down one day,  I saw a 96 year old man come to do sealing's and he was so cheerful and alert and I remembered that I can be an angel just for him for today...as he has been my angel for just being there.  We are The Lord's Hands.

I watched a sister enter the temple with a walker.  For every 4 steps she took she progressed one step.   A couple of people quickly went around her and moved on. I could tell it would take her forever to get to where she was going.  I was about to leave my post and ask if I could help her when a young girl came into the temple and stepped in front of her.  She looked back at her and said, "Sister you remind me of my dad and his walker, how about letting me give you a ride"?  The other sister said, "I have MS and can't seem to get this body to move this morning, I would appreciate a ride".  Then she began to turn her body and sit on the chair in her walker.  It took her a good minute to sit down.  The sister that offered to help her said, "Good job".  Then she twirled her around and leaned into her face, told her to lift her feet a bit, and off they went down the hall, the both of them giggling and talking.  I stood erect and wept for the tender sight The Lord had allowed me to witness. 

Today we are going with other couples to a Lilac Festival in Rochester NY.

 As you can see everyone loves the Lilac Festival....huge crowd!

Church in Cortland Ward was awesome today...other than the fact we had to drive 1 1/2 hours both ways.  The Primary children sang and gave us paper flowers they made.  Then the Bishopric passed out carnations and chocolate after Sacrament.  A Brother Ayres gave us a loaf of home made wheat bread.  He makes the bread for Sacrament each week.  I got messages & a card & phone calls from my son's & daughter & their families.  It was a good mothers day.   Our New Zealand missionary is being transferred Wednesday and Elder Moore is from Woodruff, AZ. about 20 miles from where Elder Bushman grew up.  We also have two sisters in our Cortland Ward.  

After church we went to the Carman farm in Marathon, NY.  Gus and his wife Jean and their daughter Marie & son Walt live there.  Jean is homebound and needs someone with her always.  Today Marie stayed home with her.  We took the Sacrament to them.  They had another daughter and grandson visiting with them.  Elder Bushman and the Grandson administered the Sacrament.  We then had Chicken Pie  & homemade applesauce with them.  After dinner Brother Carman took us on a tour of his Dairy farm.  He just sold the remainder of his cattle in April and it has been really hard on Gus. He is 80 years old.  His father purchased the farm in 1900.  The home and barn are now over 150 years old.  The Glaves (we served with them in the OKC Temple) were their neighbors for years...it is a small world in the church.

Gus has a 1954 Chevy truck like the GMC Elder Bushman's dad drove.  Art was very impressed.

The bottom of the barn was where they milked the cows and the top is where they stored the hay.  This is Gus by the hay bailer in the top of the barn.

Gus told us to look at the back of the barn and he has his own set of stars to look at all day long.  The barn has holes that the sun shines through!  The whole top of this barn is usually full of hay bales and the ladder was to climb to the top of the bale stack...pretty scarry.

Well, this was a full and interesting week.  We have met some wonderful people and have had some wonderful experiences.  I fell at the first of the week and hurt my arm so am trying to recover from that.  I have bruises & torn muscles to show how frail I am.  It has made me ponder the sacrifice The Savior made for us, "bruised, broken and torn for us On Calvary's Hill"...I have some bruised, and torn muscles by Cumorah Hill...I feel sorry for any pain I caused The Savior and hope I can heal and help others heal as we serve in this sacred place.  "Thy name we Bless!" Hurrah for Israel!

PINEAPPLE PIE!

Elder Bushman is so excited.  We went into Breen's Market in Palmyra and there was a pie section right by the door.  He found a Pineapple Pie!  So excited for him.  Who would have thought...the heavens are close again.  This is the pie Art's mom made him for his birthday every year...and Karen Hutto, our dear friend and excellent cook made him for the last few years.  Mary Newman made him some years ago before she went to work full time.  It's a good thing he is being watched over...I'm protected this birthday as we have no oven, and no close friends close by ;)!  Hurrah for Elder Bushman.

Today we had fresh peach cobbler.  It was way better than the store bought pineapple pie.  The peaches were grown on our new bishop's tree in his back yard!  Bishop John Scanlon and his lovely wife LeAnn invited us to their beautiful home for dinner...and since it was Fast Sunday we accepted as fast as we could.  They have four children Sydney who is 9, Colby who is 7 (he likes to make big slurping sounds with his straw & smiled as he said he is not sure he likes his school teacher), Gwyneth who is 5 ( she threw up after eating cookies in Primary and had to wear a baptismal suit home!) and Boden who is 3 (his sister Sydney had to interpret the meal prayer he said as it sounded alien to us).   Sister Scanlon home schools her children!  She is multi-tallented.

CORTLAND WARD

is our assigned meeting meeting place.  We drove the back roads to get there and cut 20 miles off the distance.  It took us 1 1/2 hours to drive there and was a distance of 80 miles.  The meetings begin at 10:00 AM.  We arrived at 9:00 A M and attended the correlation meeting.  We got to meet all the Presidencies and the Bishopric.  They have about 150 active members and about 300 members.  They have 4 full time missionaries assigned to their ward.  We arrived back in Palmyra about 7 PM after a pleasant & full day.  Having been fed by Bishops family I slept peacefully on the way back while Elder Bushman tried another suggested route on the back roads!

If any of you want to surprise us for Mother's Day, the Cortland County Airport is only a couple miles from the Cortland Ward Building....just kidding...this little airport reminds me of The Sundance Airport by the OKC Temple.

Cortland New York is down in a beautiful valley.  There are three ski hill located around the area.  

This is a picture of President & Sister Brighton our Temple President and Matron.

This is a picture of President & Sister Broadbent the first counselor and assistant matron.

The other counselor is  President Cahoon and his wife is the assistant matron.  They were not in attendance at our home evening tonight where the other photo's of the Presidency were taken.  This evening President Brighton gave Elder Bushman a letter from President Monson telling him that "authorization is hereby given for Arthur Vern Bushman to exercise the sealing power in the Palmyra New York Temple.  Since Brother Bushman was given the sealing power on June 23, 2006, for use in the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple, it will be unnecessary to confer it on him again".  So beginning this Wednesday Elder Bushman will become a Sealer in the Palmyra New York Temple.  We will serve on 6 shifts during the week, two days of which we will be serving in the office.  We will have most Saturdays & Mondays off. 

President Broadbent is giving a history of the Smith family in our home evenings.  Tonight his wife told us of President Broadbent's Great.....Great Grandfather Joseph S. Murdock.  He had been a sickly lad since he was around 10.  He met the missionaries and asked if they could heal him.  They told him they could bless him and if he had sufficient faith he could be healed.  He went to bed after his blessing and awoke the next day totally healed.  He was well for many years.  In his later years he became sick again, so had his family take him by wagon to Kirtland, Ohio where he had the Prophet Joseph give him a blessing again.  He was healed once again.  He wrote a poem to his family back in New York encouraging them to become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Many of his family joined the church and came to Ohio to be with Br. Murdock and his family.  The poem was so powerful that music was put with it and we now sing it as one of our hymns:  "Come, Listen to a Prophet's Voice"  page 21 in our Hymnal.  I hope each of you can take the time to read the words of this hymn now that you know "the rest of the story".  President and Sister Broadbent are living proof of the faith of Joseph S. Murdock for his family and their descendants.  

May each of you be blessed with peace & love in your hearts for your families and for all God's children.  "Another prophet now is sent this knowledge to restore".  Blessings to you and your's.

Elder & Sister Bushman
