A Morning Visit to Adam-ondi-Ahman

Every visit to Adam-ondi-Ahman brings something wonderful. Sometimes it is meeting beloved and dear friends. Sometimes it’s a gift from the heavens—in the form of diverse weather. Sometimes, and most often, it’s just what happens to the heart. This is one the most sacred places on earth. Today, the visit is just as the sun begins to rise—the dawning of a beautiful new day in this garden place.

Bruce R. McConkie: As near as we can judge—and this view comes down from the early brethren who associated with the Prophet Joseph Smith, who was the first one to use the name in this dispensation—Adam-ondi-Ahman means the place or land of God where Adam dwelt.
