Visit Historic Kirtland 參觀教會聖地之一

Living in MI, we are 3.5 hours away from Kirtland and 8 hours away from Nauvoo. Sean had been so busy with his new church calling, so we decided to take a quick vacaton visiting Kirtland and giving Sean more time with boys before school starts.
住在密西根, 我們只有3.5個小時和8個小時車程去2個不同的有名聖會聖地.想說趁著還沒開學前, 我們趕快找一個週末去參觀離我們3.5個小時的聖地.
