On Location: Adam-ondi-Ahman
Well this video lacks some polish to say the least. But hopefully it gives you a taste of the amazing and sacred place, Adam-ondi-Ahman, in western Missouri. As I say in the video, it's the place Adam dwelt after he was expelled from the Garden of Eden and where he will come again prior to the Second Coming of the Savior. I personally love this place for the special spirit that I feel here. And I love the hymn William W. Phelps wrote about it. Incidentally, you can find a better recording of that hymn recorded by me on both YouTube and on all major music services if you care to look it up. Take care!
