Happy Father’s Day and Taylor’s Birthday

Taylor Boehrer, Michael’s fourth daughter.  Taylor is six years old today and will be a first grader next school year.  She is getting so grown up and also, she is a great dancer.  Can’t wait to watch her!!!  Love you Taylor.

 

I have to say how very much I love my husband.  He is the best Dad and grandpa.  His children still come to him for advice and just to talk.  They love and respect him.  What more could you ask for.  My own Dad was pretty great also. He passed away ten years ago this year and he is missed.  I feel so blessed to have them both in my life.

 

KIRTLAND:

In front of the river that Willard Woodruff was baptized in.

NOTE: Willard Richards (June 24, 1804 – March 11, 1854) was an early leader in the the LDS Church and served as Second Counselor to church President Brigham Young from 1847 until his death.  Willard Woodruff was also the great-great-great grandfather of our Mission President, Mark L. Richards. 

When we had to mail home some clothes before we left the mission, we inadvertently mailed ALL of our church clothes!  Thus, we were unable to attend one of the wards today – disappointing.

These two tour buses filled with tourists also had the same idea of touring Kirtland . . .

The Kirtland Visitors Center.  We learned so much!

 

Our tour guide was two senior couples – they have served three missions, all in historic church sites.

Many revelations were received at this table inside the N. K. Whitney store.

This senior missionary was our tour guide for the Issac Morley Farm.  She had only been out three weeks and did an awesome job.

We finished up our tour at the Kirtland Temple, which is owned by the Restored LDS Church.

Front door and waiting area.

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I enjoy graveyards, especially old ones.  This one had many Mormons buried here from the 1800s.  Interesting.

Tomorrow we are on our way to Nauvoo, Illinois and then home!
