Niagara Falls and Kirtland, Ohio

Our first stop of the day today was Niagara Falls. It is a very impressive sight. You drive over the river that feeds the falls, and drive over it and over it. Compared to most of our 'rivers' it's huge. We took the Maid of the Mist boat ride with our blue raingear and were up close and personal to the falls.

From Niagara, we traveled to Kirtland Ohio. The members of the early church were told to gather to the Ohio, and this was the gathering place. Many were converted in this area, and the community became a thriving town, with industry and fine homes and prosperity. Many of the revelations in the Doctrine & Covenants were received here and God and Christ also appeared here. There are many sacred spots in Kirtland.

Tomorrow we see the Kirtland Temple.
