Kirtland temple

We had a wonderful tour through the Kirtland temple.  Amazing events happened there.  Jesus Christ appeared and accepted the temple.  Moses, Elias and Elijah came and restored priesthood keys.  See D&C sections 109 and 110.  The days of the dedication were compared to the days of Pentecost in the book of Acts.  People witnessed the temple appearing to be on fire but not burning.  They saw angels walking on the rooftop.  

Serving in the Nauvoo temple has given us a greater appreciation for these events.  We love being in the place where Elijah brought the sealing keys back to the earth.  As a result of this glorious event, the authority has been given to allow saving and exalting ordinances to be given in the temple.  We are so grateful that we have been sealed together for "time and for all eternity" and that we can have our family sealed to us as part of an eternal chain.  Our greatest desire is to have all of our family members receive those ordinances in the temple, and to live worthy of the covenents they have made so that we will have that glorious blessing together forever!

Our tour guide asked us to sing “The Spirit of God” and Sister Dickson accompanied us on the piano.  This was on the first floor called “the house of worship”

The Power of Godliness

Image
Last night while in the temple, Diane and I were asked to be witnesses at a sealing. In this case it was a Woman who was being sealed by proxy to her father and mother. It was a little bit of a surprise but the temple staff scurried to get everything prepared and ready for the special event. When the temple sealer was talking to the woman, she said that her mother was very pleased. She also said that her mother had visited her and that this is what she wanted. What a tender feeling. It reminded me that in the ordinances of the gospel the power of godliness is manifested. I was grateful that Diane and I were in a position where we could be used to witness such a sacred event.

Carthage Jail

Visited the Carthage Jail with the Gale family.  It is about 25 minutes south of Nauvoo.   From the Saints -  Joseph mounted his horse and set off with Hyrum and the other men for Carthage. “I am going like a lamb to the slaughter,” he told them, “but I am calm as a summer’s morning. I have a conscience void of offense towards God and towards all men.”  The riders climbed the hill to the temple as the sun rose, casting golden light over the building’s unfinished walls. Joseph stopped his horse and looked out over the city. “This is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens,” he said. “Little do they know the trials that await them.”   The Gale family huddled around the prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum.   Sadie and Sister Dickson examining the door where the musket ball came through and struck Hyrum in the head.  Another ball entered by the side of the door.   We are in front of the window that Joseph fell or jump...
