Tonight we are sitting in our motel in Ohio. Last night we spent the night near Palmyra, NY. The hotel was expensive but did not have wifi.....so much for Quality Inn. Anyway, we are at a motel 6 and they have internet.
Anyway, we spent today in Kirtland, OH looking at the church historic sites. We started at the Church's historic Kirtland sites. We had a great time and saw a lot there. We saw the office for Joseph Smith over the Whitney store. We also saw the room which served as the School of the Prophets. Sure makes the Doctrine and Covenants have so much more meaning. There was a great feeling of the spirit here. So much history for the church happened right here in Kirtland. It is a very historic and inspiring place.
We then went to the Kirtland Temple. This is a magnificent building. After hearing so much about it and reading so much about it, it was great to actually see the building in person. The workmanship was incredible when you consider it was built under such great tribulation and poverty. Truly a tremendous feat by the early saints here.
We will be off tomorrow to Nauvoo, IL and it will be almost a full day of driving. We can't wait to see what is there.
