Kirtland temple
On Sunday, April 3, 1836, as Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery prayed at the temple pulpits, they were visited by Jesus Christ and many angelic messengers. Christ pronounced them clean, accepted the house they had built for Him, and affirmed "the endowment with which my servants have already been endowed."
Immediately thereafter, they received from Moses himself "the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the Earth," as well as receiving other keys from other ancient prophets, Elias and Elijah.
This was Easter Sunday and the events that occurred this day regarding the restoration of priesthood keys is recorded in D&C 110.
This occurred 180 years ago today. The Jews are still waiting for Elijah's return.
Here are some highlights from today's
conference sessions:
President Monson gave his second talk this morning.
It was also his last talk. He looks very frail.
President Uchtforf is one of my favorite speakers.
He said today:
"It is by obedience that we gather light into our souls."
It was my favorite conference quote!
One of Alex's favorite talks.
Elder Kearon spoke about helping refugees.
It was an awesome reminder of how
disciples of Jesus Christ should act.
One of Michael's favorite quotes.
Elder Cook spoke about the temple.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was the last speaker.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was the last speaker.
I love this photo of President Monson and his daughter Ann.
I am excited to read the conference talks again very soon. I was spiritually fed and uplifted. This only thing that makes me said about this weekend is that we failed to go to visit Jared and his family. We miss our Texas grandchildren.
Colee Tolman Geiger had a baby girl yesterday.
This is Colee and Troy's first.
They named her Avery Mae.
Congratulations!
