This is Brent and I infront of one of the exhibits at the Kirtland visitor center run by the RLDS church. It was an interesting place, and there was definatly a different spirit there then the one present at many of the LDS visitors centers. This was the only picture inside of the visitors center because we were shortly told that pictures were not allowed inside the visitors center or the temple.
This is us in front of the Kirtland Temple Doors, which had been "restored" to their original color... I am not sure how they could tell what the original color was but I like the color green so there is no reason to be overly critical of the choice. The guide also told us that the original stucco would have looked blueish in comparison to our white stucco today, which made me laugh, I mean a blue building with green doors just makes me think someone was color blind!
This is a really great picture taken by brent. He is the artistic one between the two of us. He also has a great slideshow of waterfalls, which I should really get put on here soon! It is a really pretty picture taken by a really amazing boy!
This is the whole gang in front of... you guessed it... the Newell K Whitney store. Some amazing things happened here, including the school of the prophets as well as many revelations recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants.
This sums up the whole trip! Brent and I had a great time on our little adventure yesterday, and it will probably be the last time we visit the location while we are still a young married couple! It was a great time and we learned a lot about the trials and tribulation that the early saints had to endure to help the church prosper across the globe! Stay tuned from some more exciting post, on our life here in Columbus!

Isn't it interesting that they make you pay in order to get into the temple? Imagine if that's how our church was. Was it beautiful inside? Did they have a tour guide or did you just walk around yourselves? Did it look anything like what some of our temples look like?
no it looked a lot different then what ours look like. Brent tells me it is so different because it was used for different purposes then our temples now, and only a very very very few (I think less than 5) people recieved their endowment their. It was used more as a meeting place then what we traditionally think of the temple being used for. It was pretty but still had the feel of an older 1800's building, which makes sense I guess!
