So very kind and thoughful of you to think of others at this time and give this to us for free. I'm sure Heavenly Father and Jesus see your offering and will bless you for it. Thank you again. Your videos are powerfuly moving and faith building.
Thank you very much Mike
When I was young I told my mom how she, my dad, and I were at the Kirtland Temple at the dedication. We were standing out front, we were not allowed to go in. We stood with a large crowd out front.
My mom looked at me like I was crazy. She informed me that the dedication happened in the 1800s. She said we had never even been to Ohio.
I described a small grass hill that was on the left as you looked at the temple.
A couple years later (1988) we took a road trip and drove to Kirtland, Ohio. There was the small grass hill on the left side!
They’ve now flattened that grass hill (as per drone footage I saw in 2020).
I now believe my family were part of the throng of “angels” who people saw that day during the dedication.
How wonderful you were able to remember this! I pretty sure many of us who live today were in that throng. Thank you for sharing.
Connie McManus : I thought it was a childhood event...lol...it was a Pre-birth memory 😮😄
Those were beautiful descriptions of the appearance of and love of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for sharing what you have learned with us.
I just discovered your videos I absolutely love them, I became a member of the church in Panama central America.
After watching your videos about the history of the church I have grown to be so thankful for all those people that sacrificed and endured so much, I sure love Emma Smith, I had no idea of all the trials her and the prophet Joseph endured. I am so thankful for them and everyone else who took part in the restoration so that we now can enjoy the gospel.
I would really like to hear the history of plural marriages and how this came about so that I can have a better undestanding and explain it to so many that don't believe in the church because of this. Muchas gracias. I now leave in california and I go to the sacramento temple. I came here to the US when I was 15, but became a member of the church when I was 14. In Panama
Thank you so much for sharing your gospel and church history knowledge and testimony with us. You are indeed gifted in teaching and sharing. I Love listening to you. Learning more of our early history has made me much more grateful and appreciative of the sacrifices of the early saints.
I just found your channel and I am SO grateful. Thank you for sharing your gift of information and testimony!
You are so welcome!
I served my mission in Kirtland back in the mid 1980's when the historical sites were first being renovated and dedicated. I am so impressed by this video. I thought I knew a lot about Kirtland but learned many new things. As you know Kirtland is in a valley. When I was there the Spirit was so strong in the immediate Kirtland area itself. We would notice when we went to neighboring Mentor, Willoughby or other close-by towns that we could discern that the abundance of the Spirit had left as soon as we left Kirtland township. The Spirit would come back immediately returning in Kirtland. I served in Kirtland for 5 months and that experience stayed with me for the whole five months serving in Kirtland.
I have not seen many of your videos so maybe you have more on Kirtland. As I stated I served in Kirtland in 1984. Shortly after the course on Kirtland had been lifted. We heard from members and non-members there about all the changes in Kirtland that were exploding. They had just received traffic lights and an Mc Donalds that they were thrilled to finally have.
I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Boo you guys stole our mission president, President Smoot! 😂
I can’t thank you enough for blessing us with these spiritual messages. You have helped me stay connected to the church.
To me too. I have gain a stronger testimony of Joseph Smith.
I love your videos. I am a recent convert, 44 years old, and I’m so glad you make these. Please pray for me.
Glad you like them!
God bless you for taking the time to share information, and your testimony, so I can grow even closer to my Savior.
I really enjoy listening to you and feeling the spirit.
Sorry about you losing your job and having to do these lessons brother Petite.
But if you hadn't I wouldn't have been able to learn so much more about church history.
The amount of knowledge that you have is impressive.
And the way you tell teach through storytelling is amazing.
I am sharing everything you have on utube with friends and family and ppl that aren't to privy on the lds church. Maybe you will be doing much more than you thought.
Again.. God bless you and your family.
If there is any way I can send you a little bit of money or help out in any way. Please let me know.
Hi John. Thanks very much for your kind words. I am glad that you are enjoying the videos.
What are the sources?
this is a video I will be watching several times. In my opinion, the Savior gave so many people visions of himself because the restored truths that were revealed through Joseph Smith were so revolutionary - as you said, they turned the Christian world upside down upon its head - that those who were so willing to believe the things they heard from Joseph and the missionaries were special to the Lord and He gave them these revelations to prove to them that it was all true and that they might also have the great privilege of phyiscally experiencing the Savior for themselves. Kirtland was truly an amazing era in Church history. Thank you so much for this video - and all the rest of the videos you put out. My testimony has been strengthened!
WOW! This is amazing stuff! Your testimony of the Savior and Heavenly Father’s love for us made me really feel it at a time when I really need to. Thank you for all you do to create these videos and share them with us 🙂
I just discovered your videos this week. What a blessing and inspiration. Thank you for your research and presentation.
Thank you so much!

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and testimony. My family and I have really enjoyed your videos and are grateful to learn so much about church history and the special experiences the saints received with the Savior. How wonderful to learn these things, to know and understand we can have the same special experiences.
This video is so good I watched it twice. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Love your videos brother.
I've been watching a lot of your vids recently man. They've been awesome, keep it up please
Thanks, will do!
Thank you! Thank you for preparing us for this coming year. It is going to be fabulous with your additional resources. 😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for your teachings of the gospel! I am filled!
Thank you for taking time from yours and your family to teach all of us the history and doctrines of Christ's holy gospel. I will pray for you and your job status. God bless.
When these things are shares we are strengthened, again and again. I thank for our Lord being able to condescend to touch our lives. It us all true l so testify.
i pass by the church every day. im a christian but its interesting to see a mormons perspective on the significance of the church
Simply fantastic! Thank you so so much Br Pettit! 🙏
I wonder if the reason why the Saints in Kirtland were so blessed with visitations was that those faithful saints would need the strength to go through all they had to. ?
That's a great point!
I absolutely love your videos they are so informative I'm new to the church I've only been a member for about a year-and-a-half I absolutely love your videos thank you so much for creating them to educate me
I look forward to your videos, they add so much to my knowledge of the early times of the Church. I greatly appreciate your time and effort that it takes you to put these together. Well done!
Thanks very much
Fascinating information. Thank you, thank you!!!
So glad this House of the Lord which has withstood the test of times is open to ALL Gods people, psalms - I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the lord 🙏💞💖
My great great great grandfather left a wonderful journal, he saw so many wonderful miracles. His journal is public i believe you can see a copy in Nauvoo. He was Joseph Lee Robinson. A great man.
Awesome! I will need to look for that journal. Thanks
Thankyou I learnt a lot, I know the Saviour and Heavenly father love us more that we can comprehend
Thank you for these videos. I have learned lots. Keep posting
Glad to hear it!
@@storiesoftherestoration2080 You are teaching lie Jesus never visited America and if he did where is it written in the Bible ! Because in John 5:39 Jesus said search the scriptures which are from Genesis to Malachi where is it written Jesus visited anyone else but Israel
@@storiesoftherestoration2080 I'm waiting because you are lying
@@jameswines5862 brother the lord is the truth all that we know of God is the very substance of truth are hearts are true life is true light is true even darkness is true I say no more all God's love for you now everyday and for everyone you know ❤
@@jameswines5862 look at John 10:16 I think that Jesus visited many places besides the americas
Thank you for the clarification of "vision". I often remind people, when talking about these appearances in Kirtland, "We call it the 'First Vision', and not the 'First Appearnacne'."
I just have to tell you that I appreciate and am learning so much from your videos. Thank you!!! You present very well.
I appreciate that Jan. Thanks!
Thank you so this great video of the Kirkland Temple and the great sacred events that happened there. Your videos contain by far the best descriptions of those sacred events. I am looking forward the more.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you ever so much for all your inspiring information! We’ve been called to the Ohio Historic sites and are excited to learn about some of what the Saints experienced.
Tom, thank you. I love your stuff. I pray that very soon. The Lord will bless you and your families business. Great job. Thank you. I refer people to your page daily. Thank you again! Devin
I appreciate that! Thanks very much Devin.
Speaking of the Kirtland endowment, my ancestor Joel Hills Johnson records in his journal, "I also received my endowments in the house of the Lord in the winter and spring of 1836 with the rest of the elders by ordinations , washings, annointings, sealings, etc."
Wonderful!! Thank you so much! ♥️
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos! I find them so inspiring and informative.
So educating your channel, absolutely love it!!!!!... thank you!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks!
Thank you so very much for all you are sharing.
Thank you for the insight that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ manifested themselves so many times to the faithful Saints at Kirtland in order to instruct but also testify and witness to the Truth and Blessings being bestowed upon the World, never to be taken again. 😊
Thank you for your great knowledge and powerful testimony!!!!
Thanks for listening!
Thank you for sharing kirtland stories.
Outstanding!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!!
Thank you very much,
You are welcome!
Excellent.
Hi Brother Pettit, thank you for sharing your research and knowledge. Can you share the last thing you read about the Savior's description of Himself before your bore your testimony please?
I love your channel. It makes me feel so happy and grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is thrilling to learn about Joseph Smith and the early saints and their heavenly experiences.
Very good video! I enjoyed it a lot!🤗
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brother Pettit, thank you for your great videos. I would love to share them but you need to clean your comments session first. There are minions and trolls spreading lies ; they are utterly cynical and devilish. I have no respect for them.
Thank you for the suggestion. I am trying to remove any inappropriate comments.
Why would we suppose that similar preparations for the second coming are not occurring now?
Thank you so much. I'm related to Solomon Chamberlain and his story is partially told in the book The saints. If you have more information I would love to hear about more about him.

I have watched and enjoy the Unshaken Come Follow Me, and other books.
Jared Halverson has gone through 4 hours.
I would love to hear from you for hours 😊
Philo Dibble is my 3th Great Grandfather.
Could you do a talk on the night the stars fell and cross reference the dates with church history you will be surprised at this event
I am from uk 🇬🇧
That is a great story! Yes, I'll do a video on that.
Such an exciting story!!
Brother Tom, What are your sources?
History of the Church by Joseph Smith, Volumes 1-8
35:30. Was Philo Dibble related to Lorin Dibble who had an encounter with Orrin Porter Rockwell in Lehi Utah yrars later?
I'm not sure. I need to research that.
Are you a seminary/institute teacher?
Nope. I am not.
Could you explain more about why polygamy was allowed?
Only takes a little research, the information is out there and easy to find. In short, it wasn't "allowed" but commanded in revelation. It was also commanded of Smith on several individual marriages. With Helen Mar Kimball for example, who was his youngest bride at 14, he claimed an angel of the Lord appeared to him with a sword and threatened him with extinction if he did not marry her. On the other hand, if she does marry him, her and her entire family are guaranteed eternal salvation. This was fairly typical, and no, I am not making this up, and yes, otherwise intelligent and well educated people actually believe, or profess to believe this crap.
@@zachgarver7922 hi zach, Joseph Smith's son Hyrum Smith had tobe hospitalized due to severe mental illness. I wondering if Joseph Smith was suffering a latent form of this terrible malady. Not knowing about this disease like we do, Smith and his early followers thought that this was directly inspired by God.
Even in Harmony PA Joseph Smith was getting friendly with the local women.
@@michaelciccone2194 The truly objective biographer could make a better case for Smith being a child rapist and sexual predator than any kind of prophet of God. Believe it or not, I once had an otherwise sane church member suggest to me that, citing the rather unethical behavior of the biblical David, perhaps Smith was both a sexual deviate and a prophet.
All of you stop leading Kristen away from the truth
The word 'tour' is pronounced 'too-r,' not 'torr.'
I guess it depends on where you are from.
From 1828 "American Dictionary of the English Language
VI'SION, noun s as z. [Latin visio, from video, visus.]
1. The act of seeing external objects; actual sight.
Faith here is turned into vision there.
2. The faculty of seeing; sight. vision is far more perfect and acute in some animals than in man.
3. Something imagined to be seen, though not real; a phantom; a specter.
No dreams, but visions strange.
4. In Scripture, a revelation from God; an appearance or exhibition of something supernaturally presented to the minds of the prophets, by which they were informed of future events. Such were the visions of Isaiah, of Amos, of Ezekiel, etc.
webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/vision
Moses 1:5 makes it clear that no man can see God with their natural eyes because of His glory. Any appearance of God must be a Vision where they see Him with only some of His glory.
Thank you for sharing this!
I also listened to his Adam Ondi-Ahman podcast. Do people who have the intelligence to dress themselves in the morning really believe this nonsense?
I can completely understand why you think that, Joseph Smith said that, if he hadn’t have experienced what he did, he wouldn’t have believed it himself.
@Zach Garner Dig deeper my friend. God will reveille the truth if your willing to hear and feel it. It will change your life! God Bless. Time is short.
@@simpleislovely1924 Thankyou for your kind words, I have no desire in my heart to harm or mislead anyone, just a desire to be like the Saviour and love others
Yes sir
@@simpleislovely1924 Don't worry, I have dug quite deep: Dr David Ritner, Jeremy Runnels and the CES letter/website, Richard Packham, Fawn Brodie, numerous Mormon Story Interviews, the history of the Mark Hoffman forgeries, (so much for power of discernment) even the Church's own Gospel Topic Essays. Then there are the numerous abuse scandals that the church has covered up. I can go on and on, but trust me, having experienced first hand the lies of this church, I have dug quite deep. Depends on what one wants I guess. If you want faith, then yeah, pray, get that transcendent feeling, that all over fuzzy "burning in your breast," and keep telling yourself it was God talking to you. Forget the fact that what you experienced is universal. There are literally billions of other Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, et al who will attest with the same fervor and conviction as you that God told them their faith is true, and just keep on believing that it wasn't God talking to them, just Mormons. However if it is truth you want, then get off your knees and do a little old fashion reading and research as you would a secular figure or subject, exactly what your enlightened leaders like Oaks and Holland have told you not to do. If YOU are willing to hear and feel it, you will soon find out why you have been implored to not do exactly that.
