Day Two

Well, I couldn't blog last night. Yesterday morning we went to the Kirtland Visitors Center. While there AJ asked if Sister Knowles was there by chance and just as he finished asking she walked in the door with her companion on their way to a district meeting. For any 9th Ward members reading this (she is from our Singles Ward) Sarah is doing great and loving her mission. It was so good to see her.
A missionary couple took us on a tour of the Kirtland Village. On the second floor of the store was where the School of the Prophets met. The Spirit was very strong there. One interesting tidbit was in the Whitney home in the sitting room was a courting candle. So if they parents liked the gentlemen caller they would put more wick in. If not, it would burn out sooner. We then drove about 30 miles to the John Johnson Farm. Bro. and Sister Cluff were the missionary couple and the Johnsons were her great-grandparents. They only have two weeks left there serving. It truly was a remarkable experience to have her share with us about her heritage. We then
drove back to the Kirtland Temple which is run by the Community of Christ Church. There just was something missing there. Their presentation lacked and the Spirit was not there. But it was very interesting. We then took off toward Niagara Falls. We drove for awhile stopping to eat dinner. We arrived in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada around 9 p.m. We were up on the 21st Floor of the Hilton (they don't have wifi in your room unless you want to pay) hence why I didn't post. Our room had a window overlooking the United States side of the falls. They have a light show - it was really good.
