Day 9--Kirtland! and the Kirtland TEMPLE!

Day 9--Saturday, June 25

I am writing this a few days after the fact so I will do my best to remember what happened. We went to the Kirtland flats where the Newel K. Whitney store is. The upper floor of the store is where the Prophet lived with Emma and lots of revelations were received there. Also the School of the prophets was started in the store as well IN THE TINIEST ROOM EVER. I do not know how in the world they were able to fit 21 MEN in that room. Something that I learned is that every time the men would come to the school of the prophets, they were given an oral recommend interview. If they did not pass, they were not allowed to enter that day and participate in the classes. We had a really nice boxed lunch and then drove to the part of Kirtland that the Community of Christ church owns. They own the Kirtland temple so we had to pay $5 each for a tour of the place. It honestly felt wrong to tour a temple but it was still cool.




Original floor!


This is the room where 21 men would meet to be taught in the School of the Prophets...crazy
