After our stay at Streetsboro, OH (some 40 minutes from Kirtland), we traveled to the Kirtland Temple.
It was a amazing to see what the Saints were able to accomplish of the borders of the american frontier with little money and precious few resources. As I sat in the Temple and pondered the increadable miricles and visions that took place in that holy building I felt truly humbled.
We visited the Church historical site at Kirtland including the Whitney Store.
The Whitney store is the location of the first School of the Prophets where many saw the Lord.
We also visited the John Johnson farm.
This is the building where the Prophet was dragged from his bed, tarred and feathered and still preached the following day.
While at the Johnson farm, Joseph also received the vision which resulted in the 76th Section of the D&C. Ginger, our guide, told us that Joseph had said that he didn't record a 100th part of what he saw . . . Wow!
