What a surprise! Saturday, June 6 was a super busy time! Sister Harris got on the phone and called all of the Senior Missionaries scheduled to come in the afternoon (even those who had a scheduled P-day) to come in earlier as there were five buses in the parking lot three of which were unscheduled. With buses,that means lots of people. When we opened our door to head over, there were two of the three in the entry road parked right in front of our door!
Along with additional people coming in, it was a very hectic time for a few hours! By 3:30, we had 499 visitors.
Elder Butterfield took charge of organizing the visitors and assigned the missionaries to each group. All of the Seniors plus all of the Sister Missionaries were on hand waiting for their assignment.
A little later in the day two more buses that the Visitor's Center was expecting arrived and by then things had slowed down a little.
After about 5:30, things returned to somewhat normal. But at the end of the day a total of 723 visitors were logged in the books. What a beautiful place this is where people want to come to learn of the history Kirtland has to offer and to build their testimonies of the Church and the sacrifices that were made here by the early Saints.
