Kirtland

I toured through Kirtland with the University of Utah Institute Choir in 1979.  I still remember it fondly and was so excited to see it again. Oh the Church history here.  Again another lovely day.  We couldn't have picked a better time to travel. It has been perfect weather. A little rain, but that makes it perfect to me.

On our way to Kirtland. I cannot get enough of the barns and the fields. 

 KIRTLAND, OH

Views of the Kirtland Temple as we approached.

The Kirtland Temple is owned by the Community of Christ Church, formerly known as the RLDS.  We took an wonderful, informative, interesting tour in this great place.

Then we went over to the Church historical sites and toured there. I loved what the Mormon tour said about the Kirtland temple.  "It is a silent reminder of the love and sacrifice of the early saints."

Newell K Whitney Store. The Whitney's did so much for the church and Joseph Smith and his family during the Kirtland days.

Upstairs in the Whitney Store

Joseph and Emma lived with the Whitney's for a year and a half and this is where  lots of  church history occurred, meetings, revelations, etc

Where the Whitney's lived.   I loved this little yellow house.

I loved this yellow door in the Whitney house.
