Currently Playing: Filling in the History - Ep 36 Part 1 - Section 95 and the Kirtland Temple

The Saints get chewed out for not starting work on the House of the Lord in Kirtland and dimensions are given to get started. Hyrum starts clearing land for the foundation. We get these plans written on the paper that is pasted to some Egyptian papyri, but we can still barely see those plans. All of this leads to the earnest construction of the Kirtland house and this will be a major focus of member time for the following few years.
