0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to follow him. Today we're doing one of our voices of the restoration episodes, which means we have one of our favorites, Dr. Garrett Dirkmont, with us today.
0:15.0	Hank, I love the title of this, Spiritual Manifestations and the Curtland Temple. What comes to mind when we read that title?
0:24.4	Well, first of all, we love having Garrett here. We love it. You and I light up when Garrett sits down in the
0:32.2	studio. John, I've spent some time at the Kirtland Temple, as have both of you. You sit outside and you just look at it.
0:40.1	You start to, I don't know if you've both ever done this, but you try to envision this building
0:45.8	surrounded by dirt roads, these saints, these impoverished saints, and here they are building

1:49.4	They're always very anxious to thank the community of Christ for taking good care of it.
1:51.3	I'll tell you the same thing, Hank.
1:54.9	I used to go there before our church acquired it.
1:56.5	I felt the same way.
2:03.4	Just thinking of what happened there, wasn't it one of the largest buildings in all of Ohio at the time that it was built? I'm just excited to hear from Garrett about this. Garrett, what have you
