Kirtland, Ohio

Last weekend we went to Kirtland. We have lived in Erie for almost two years and have passed the Kirtland exit numerous times, and yet to have stopped. For some reason we thought it would be a long drive off of the freeway....little did we know it is literally right off of the exit.
It was great to be able to visit these historic church sites. Here are some pictures from our day trip.

Here we are in front of the Kirtland Temple. We went to the temple's visitor center, watched a film, and went on a tour.

After going to the Kirtland temple we went to the LDS site. There was so much to see here. There was a visitor center, film, and tours of the historic sites with the missionaries. This was so neat to think of the things that have occured in these buildings, the people who once were here in these buildings. Here we are at the N.K. Whitney Store.

One of the reasons we went to Kirtland last weekend was to see the Angela Johnson's "The Healing Power of Jesus Christ" exhibit. This will be leaving Kirtland soon. This exhibit is incredible.. what a talent she was blessed with (and did not even know she had for years).
