Day 4 in Pennsylvania

Sunday!  We found a church in Youngstown Ohio to attend today. 

Parking lot of church

It took us about an hour and a half to reach Youngstown from Clarion. Then we drove through Middlefield Ohio because that is the center of Amish country.  We saw a lot of Amish buggies and girls walking along the roads. 

You can see the buggies in the distance

This is in the Walmart parking lot

There were other stores that had these outside in the parking lot as well

We drove around for awhile waiting for the visitor center at the John Johnson home to open, which is in Hiram Ohio, not far from the Amish.  Our time visiting there was wonderful and we felt the power of the Spirit in the home where Doctrine and Covenants 76 was received among other sections.

Then we drove another 45 minutes to Kirtland. We went through the temple and found the bench that Brian's brother, Barry, made for the Kirtland temple in 2006.

His name under the bench

Then we went to the Church's visitor center and went on the tour with the sister missionaries to the Whitney story, Whitney home, and the Johnson Inn. It was a great experience and I really felt the sacredness of those places.

Tomorrow we leave and I will be sad to say goodbye!
