Church History Site - Kirtland!!!
With our visitors in town, we had to go to Kirtland and take in the Spirit of Kirtland.
I just had to throw in this picture of Brigitta. Don't I have a beautiful niece?
And here is SM...hanging out at the wood mill.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered and lived in Kirtland Ohio from 1830 to 1838. During this time, the prophet Joseph Smith received many revelations and blessing from our Heavenly Father. Kirtland was the first headquarters of the Church. The first temple was built in Kirtland. There were so many firsts revealed here...such as the first Stake was formed, the first Bishop's Store House, the first Missionary Training Center, the first bishop called, the first patriarch called, and many other firsts.
In the memo, we were told to wear light blue...just kidding. Everyone just matched...well, almost everyone. Look how happy we all were, we had great sister missionaries giving us a tour of the Kirtland Visitors Center. One sister missionary was from Lehi and the other was from Louisiana. I just wish I had thought to take a picture of them.
And here we are! What a great group! If I knew how to crop I would crop a lot of this picture. I guess that's motivation to learn how to use Photoshop.
A creative landscape photo. Beautiful stream and house. 
Inside the N.K. Whitney Store listening to the sister missionaries talk about what Bro. Whitney sold at the store and how he provided for people who couldn't pay him for items. The more I learn about Bro. Whitney the more I'm impressed with the way he cared for people.
Gracie was a big tease and SM was a great facilitator. But we love her so much that we'd do a whole lot for that little girl.
I love this photo of Ben. At this table behind Ben is where Joseph Smith received the Word of Wisdom. This is the health code that members of the church follow which includes, but is not limited to, no smoking, no drinking alcohol and no coffee.
