Today we spent our day in Kirtland.....we visited the original home and shop of N.K. Whitney.we saw where Joseph and Emma sat, slept and where Joseph Smith saw the spirit of the Savior and Heavenly Father and where he received revelation. We toured the Kirtland Temple, sat where the Prophet sat and held meetings and got the opportunity to feel the Spirit so strong. If you have any doubt, it is because you have not sought out in prayer to know the truth. It will burn so strong in you....if you allow it.
When I first walked In the footsteps of our Prophet and all the pioneers I felt full of gratitude and appreciation for all that was sacrificed. All that was done was done in Faith.
This is taken in the N.K. Whitney summer kitchen of their personal kitchen where often times they met to study their scriptures. This was an emotional day for many reasons but I am so grateful for the time I got to be on these Sacred ground with my baby girl and some great friends who share our desire to walk all the steps of our Prophets and Pioneers. (We actually we really got inspired to just go for it last year when we started our road trip to Nauvoo as gypsy road warriors) so we will sadly depart tomorrow after a quick trip to Palmyra and head to family in California but will forever know and hold in our hearts the love and faith of those early settlers who gave all.....
