Sunday July.3.2011 We got to Kansas City, Missouri around noon and went to Beth & Jimmy's and met up with grandma & grandpa there. We then went to Liberty Jail.
This is where the prophet Joseph Smith, along with Sidney Rigdon, Hyrum Smith, Alexander McRae, Lynman Wight, and Caleb Baldwin spent the bitter winter of 1838-1839. They were unjustly charged with treason while their families and church members were forced from Missouri. The jail was a painful refining for Joseph Smith and his companions. As Joseph tried to pen words of consolation
to the suffering saints, revelation and comfort were recieved.
After Liberty Jail we went and saw the New Kansas City Temple there building and then we went to the Independence Visitor Center:
