Well, we thought we were having a slow week with not much happening and then its today, Sunday.  Such a special day, makes up for no tours most of the week.  When we got to the Johnson Home after church meetings, the Holtrys had had two tours and were just beginning two more so we took over for them. I took the first couple which was a student from Hiram College architectural class who had missed the class tour but needed to come here for credit.  I gave them the tour, telling some of the structural things that their professor had shared and also told of the spiritual things that happened here, especially the visions of the Prophet Joseph, the visit of the Father and Son and the charity,sacrifice and love of the Johnsons in sharing their home with him.  I bore my testimony to them and afterwards the young man asked if there was a way he could get 'one of those books'.  I gave him a Book of Mormon, shared Moroni's invitation to read and gave them the Joseph Smith pamphlet.  He was quite interested.  I also suggested that they visit mormon.org and I think they will.  Dad had a family from Florida and they shared some special testimonies of the power of the Priesthood in healing and also feeling of the spirit of the home.The parents had visited the home 15 years ago and she said that she couldn't remember anything except the feelings she felt in the revelation room.  She was so impressed with those feelings that they remained with her through the years.  She said in all of the historic sites she has visited this one meant the most to her.  Another family was from Tennessee and another from Illinois.  They each had read and prepared for this visit, memorizing scriptures and knowing what things happened in this area.  Thus when we tell them of these things they feel and know as the Holy Ghost testifies to the truthfulness of it all.  Such an awesome experience for us to be able to have visitors share with us.  We ended up with 35 visitors today and 6 tours so that is great.  Only the beginning of a busy season and we are looking forward to that.    We did take our p-day and go for a drive.  We went to Kent to see an old rail road station that was involved in the underground railroad.  It was not open for the day yet so we didn't get to go inside, another day....  We then drove on up the way and visited the biggest JoAnn's ever.  In fact it is next to their corperate offices so it is a big place.  Was fun to wander and that was what we did.  We then drove up through the Cuyahoga National Park stopping in Peninsula Village Historic District to visit the museum located in the restored school built in 1887.  It was interesting as it told of the history of the area.  We also stopped at the Brandywine Falls.  Below are pictures of both.

We then drove on up to Kirtland, spent our Christmas money Amy had sent us at a restaurant, came back to Garrettsville, stopped at DQ for dessert and then home.  Had been a long day but so nice, lots of beautiful country, but will be nice to see it with leaves on the trees.
