Fire Descends and Rests on Heads of Elders at Kirtland Temple Endowment

In the spring of 1836, Milo Andrus was present in Kirtland at the dedication of the temple and the endowment of the elders that the Lord had promised as a reward for their offerings. When the Holy Ghost was poured out on the elders, Milo saw fire descend and rest on the heads of the elders. They spoke with tongues and prophesied. The blessings of the Lord were poured out abundantly upon the assembled elders, and Milo counted this experience as a great joy to him.

Fuller account of this event (in the witness’s own words):

The summer of 1835, I traveled in the state of New York with Nathan Baldwin, baptized several, and the following winter went to school in Kirtland, and in the spring of 1836, I was in Kirtland at the dedication of the temple and the endowment of the elders that the Lord had promised as a reward for their offerings. The blessings of the Lord were poured out abundantly. There is one thing that I would here relate, that was a great joy to me, and that was when the Holy Ghost was poured out on the elders, I saw fire descend and rest on the heads of the elders, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
