Not only was Enoch taken up into heaven, but Enoch built a city, a city of holiness, called Zion,

organization and wind up in a location that's going to be church headquarters for the next

seven or eight years for probably the longest span of time that Joseph Smith led the church.

We're heading to Ohio.

Yeah.

So we have four sections today, two section pairs.
