The Table

I finished my table a few weeks ago and finally got a picture of it to share. Next project...coffee table?

Next vacation...Kirtland, Ohio

I have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to visit so many church history sites, both modern and ancient. However, I still have one church history site that has yet to be check off my list...I think my next trip will be to Kirtland.

I am taking a Church History Institute class and this past week we talked about what took place while the saints were in Kirtland, OH. Elder M. Russell Ballard gave a CES fireside in 1994 entitled "Our Kirtland Legacy." He said, "It has been said that we may yet discover that Kirtland is our most significant Church history site."

Elder Ballard lists the following to describe just how important Kirtland is to the Church:

• Reveled basically all the priesthood offices that we have in the church today
• Schooling period for the leaders of the Church
• About 1/2 of the revelations recored in the Doctrine and Covenants were revealed there
• School of the Prophets began
• Joseph made his Bible translations
• Pearl of Great Price was largely translated
• First edition of the Doctrine and Covenants was printed
• More heavenly manifestations and appearances occurred in Kirtland than any other place

Last April Holly and I won the Home Based Business Plan Competition at BYU with our business Vinylize It. Seven months later we had the opportunity to return to BYU as guest speakers in the Women Entrepreneur Lecture Series. This is the class that I was the TA for last year and I never imagined that I would return so soon as the one speaking. View here
I love working with Holly. She has worked so hard on this business and I am continually amazed at everything she has learned and the things she is able to do with one hand while taking care of her kids. She is an amazing mom, wonderful sister, and great business partner. Thanks Holly!
