First stop: Kirtland

After eight ours of driving, we arrived in Kirtland and spent the night. The next day, we explored the area. John has been on this trip before in high school, so he was able to tell us a little about the places we were visiting. We went to the Newell K. Whitney Store, the Kirtland Temple, and the temple quarry.



Outside the Newell K. Whitney Store where the School of the Prophets took place.



Hailey exerting all her energy to not touch things with "don't touch" signs.



We all enjoyed our time in Kirtland a lot. Except for Nora. Sitting quietly for long periods of time is not exactly in her field of expertise.



But there are always some boring times too.



Hailey's favorite part: being adopted by the sister missionaries. When we first walked in the visitor center, she walked up to the sisters and held out her hand and said "Hi, my name is Hailey. What's yours?" and from that moment on, she was their special helper answering questions, leading the tour from room to room, and standing next to them when they talked. Can you guess what she wants to be when she grows up? (This week, at least.)
