In
my forest service career I worked with maps extensively. They became a part of
me, and I grew to love them. Because of this love of maps, I thoroughly enjoyed
reading the book Mapping Mormonism.
I’ve used many of the interesting facts in this blog brought out by this unique
book. I encourage any interested in Church history to purchase or sign out from
your local library this intriguing book. It’s with sadness that I use the last
three remaining questions from this book.

Yesterday’s answer:
(D) Hundreds
Many
other visions and appearances of the Lord were experienced in the Kirtland
Temple by individuals who had sacrificed and labored for its completion. Orson
Pratt recalled, “In that house the veil was taken away from the eyes of many of
the servants of God and they beheld his glory.” According to one estimate,
“Hundreds of others” had such experiences. Joseph Smith promised, “All who are
prepared, and are sufficiently pure to abide the presence of the Savior, will
see him in the solemn assembly [in the temple].”
