John Johnson Farm

This was our last stop of the day in Kirtland. We drove through a storm and was really glad that we got there safely. We went here after being at the Kirtland Temple and we were amazed at the different spirit that we felt while being there. We were given the tour by a very sweet senior couple and we were with the same 2 other couples that we were at the Kirtland with.
This is the porch of the John Johnson home where Joseph Smith would give his Sunday morning sermons. You couldn't help to feel the spirit while standing there. This is the bedroom where Joseph Smith and Emma where sleeping with the two Murdock babies when Joseph was dragged out by a mob and tarred and feathered. While recanting the story Brother Phyde got very emotional which brought the spirit and caused many of us to get emotional as well as we remembered the story where our Prophet demonstrated great strength and faith.
