Elam Cheney and the Kirtland Temple

When Elam was a boy, notice was given that there was a meeting held in the Kirtland temple. All the family attended this meeting. The Prophet spoke there and Elam noticed that while he was speaking, he looked up as if he was looking at someone, so Elam looked in that direction and saw six personages .... three on each side of the room. Their appearance attracted his attention as they were dressed so differently to what he was accustomed to seeing. They had white moccasins on their feet and white caps on their heads. He asked his mother who they were and she said she could see no one. He told her they were dressed in white. He always remembered how they looked and how they were dressed. Later on when he went to the temple to get his own endowments, he discovered that the clothes these personages wore were like the temple clothes. This experience was a testimony which stayed with him throughout his life.
