Now I will go back to my story.
We stayed at Kirtland about a week and had the privilege of hearing Joseph
preach in that thing the Baptist said they called a meeting house which proved
to be a very good house. We went into the upper rooms, saw the Egyptian
mummies, the writing that was said to be written in Abraham’s day, Jacob’s
ladder being pictured on it, and lots more wonders that I cannot write here,
and that were explained to us. (Sarah
