The next day after our nice relaxing night at the resort we went for a little drive to go and see some church history sites. The first place we went to is the Gadfield Elm Chapel. This is the first chapel that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had to call their own and meet in. Today it is more of a tourist attraction and does not hold regular services, but on occasion people will use it for firesides and other meetings.
Inside they had costumes that you could put on and do little skits with. It was only the four of us so we didn't have enough to do any acting, but we did play a little dress up.
In the chapel Emerson had fun rearranging the hymn books. It was a nice little chapel and we had a nice time listening to the history of this little building and the many important events and special moments that have happened in that tiny building.
After the chapel we drove to Bembow's Farm another church history site. At this farm many of the first people to join the church out here in England were baptized in a pond on property.
Emerson was very insistent that he touch the water "where all the people's were baptized." Afterwards he said it was COLD.
We had a nice little outing and time together as a family. Hopefully we will have many more outings to share about in the coming months.
