Why are we going to Kirtland?
Elder M. Russell Ballard stated,
“It is often said that Kirtland is one of the least understood periods in Church history. Kirtland is truly a holy ground of this dispensation. The Church basks in the light of revelation today to a great extent because of the great Pentecostal outpouring that Joseph and the Saints received in Kirtland. The heavens were literally opened to hundreds of our early Saints there.”
