We next drove up to the Kirtland Temple. The RLDS church has a Visitor’s Center there. We watched a film they had in a small theater. When the film was finished, the screen went up and the curtains parted and you had this spectacular view of the temple. It was quite moving. Next the tour walked through the temple grounds to the temple. We were able to walk through the first and second floors, which look remarkable the same with the Aaronic Priesthood seats on one end and the Melkezedek Priesthood risers on the other end of the room. It was neat how they did the benches on the second floor. They had writing tables which could swing up with supports underneath. This second floor of the temple was used for study and learning, so they had the writing tables. Many missionaries studied here prior to leaving on their mission. Many wonderful things happened in this temple. At the dedication, many people saw the angles who came to the dedication, and the people who were outside said that the whole building glowed, and even God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ appeared here. OK now the sad thing is that there is no longer that special Spirit there. There is more Spirit in the Sacred Grove than there is in this building. It’s sad. It’s also sad that the RLDS don’t seem to treat it in any way as special. Meetings are held there, anyone can go tromping through and it just doesn’t feel special.
