Last weekend we went to Kirtland, Ohio with our friends the Wagners. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive and Riley did pretty good on the drive. We had a tour of the temple, the Church of Christ now owns the temple. It was interesting because most other churches have different beginnings from us, but there's is the same. The bookstore had the Book of Mormon and a lot of books about Joseph Smith. It is a beautiful place and even though the saints had to leave, it served it's purpose as a house of learning.
Then we went to all the Newell K. Whitney stuff owned by the LDS church. Some sister missionaries gave us a tour. Here is the Newell K. Whitney store.
This is where the story of the word of wisdom took place, with the men spitting on the floors.
Riley learning about the sawmill.
We had a fun little trip. It is amazing how much church history happened in Kirtland. I'm grateful for all that the early saints did for me.
