As we start our studies today on Mormon chapters 7 through 9, Moroni has taken over the record from his father and is in a tragic position.

He has seen his culture decimated and he is the last survivor of what was once a thriving world.

Could anything be sadder than this?

Hello, we are Scott and Maureen Proctor, and this is Meridian Magazine's Come Follow

Me podcast, where today we study a lesson called I Speak Unto You as if you were present.

For many years now at Christmas time, I have created a wall calendar featuring my photography of significant

spiritual sites associated with the Come Follow Me lessons.

This year I've created one of my favorite calendars yet.

It all started early one morning on the Smith family farm just outside of Palmyra, New

York.

How can you capture photos that begin to

tell the story of all that happened on that farm where Joseph grew up? How can you use your

camera to paint sacred space in a grove or a night when Moroni visited three times? To take

stunning photos, you have to be given special weather conditions, and this particular

morning, we were up before sunrise and saw a low-lying fog. We knew that when the sun rose,

there would be minutes where we could capture this look of a landscape lit and a glow with morning

light. I ran from place to place and captured the best light show I've

ever seen at the Smith Farm. I've been taking photos for 50 years on this farm, and these are my best.
