Gleaned off the internet from someone who lives in the area of Adam-ondi-Ahman:
Please, folks, note the correct spelling with capitals and hyphens. The name means something close to 'Adam walked with God.' This is a sacred place and deserves to be spelled correctly as a way of honoring it's sacred history and future. The locals all just say "AoA" to be shorter. This site has been called an outdoor temple, a garden temple, open air temple, etc. Lots of people, when walking the grounds, feel the spirit here deeply. AoA is it's own mission and the mission president is Pres. Nelson! The missionaries are called maintenance missionaries and do not give tours. They maintain the grounds. It is easy for us to see out here that they are making many changes. It already looks different than when we arrived her 2.5 years ago. They are building a new building for the visiting authority who comes once a month. We do not usually see them but all of the missionaries attend our Spring Hill Ward on Sunday. There are 7 couple during the winter and 14 during the summer. A new pavilion has been added along with a second set of restrooms.
