Monday in Kirtland

The Kirtland Temple

Despite the Fact the the Church does not own nor operate the tours of the Kirtland temple I felt the spirit here very strongly. It testified that this Temple is very sacred. Key events paramount to the completion of the restoration of the Gospel took place here.

The building itself is a testament to the faith and sacrifice of the early Saints. I am always so humbled by their willingness to sacrifice everything to the building up of the Kingdom of God. It makes my sacrifices seem small and insignificant yet I know that what we do matters and our offerings will be accepted if they are given with a pure and humble heart. Seeing the Temple motivated me to do more and be a more willing servant of the Lord.

Historic Kirtland

Ohio is so beautiful.
It is more open and rural then New England.

The Whitney Store


The Sister Missionaries gave the girls a wonderful tour.

There was a very special spirit in the School of The Prophets on the upper floor of the Store.
Christ appeared in a vision to the apostles in this room. As the Sisters read the account J..h listened in awe and wonder. "How did they get to see him?" She asked with not a doubt that they did see him. She understood how special it was that Christ appeared to them. The Sister told J..h that they had great Faith and read a scripture that teaches us that anyone with great Faith will someday see the Saviors face. The spirit testified to me the truth of that scripture and I was so grateful for J..h's pure and simple faith to believe. She strengthens my testimony. She has been given the gift of understanding and believing the testimony of others. I am so blessed to be the mother of such a sweet and special little girl and I love her so much. I am also so thankful that I am able to share these special places with my children. S..a and biddy will not remember this but J..a will and that means a lot to me.
