This is the table that Joseph Smith himself sat and wrote D&C, studied the Book of Mormon, and recieved a lot of revelation.
This is the school of prophets. The room was as mall as the picture makes it look. It's crazy how many men fit in this room and how they could all recieve very different revelations and visions in such a right space of each other. There's a story of all the men sitting in there smoking their cigars and Joseph was compelled by the power of God to tell them that smoking was bad for them and others around them so every single man got up and threw their cigar in the fire. They all trusted Joseph and loved heavnly father so much that they didn't argue with their orders and all obliged to the request.

It not only is physically beautiful, but the things that went on inside and the stories told about it are beautiful as well. So many angels and Jesus Christ himself visited this temple frequently. They would hear and see angels singing along side to the hymns they sang, a popular hymn at the time was Spirit of God.
As we were exiting the temple after our tour, a man who was also on the tour with us had him and his family sing The Spirit of God. It was beautiful and the spirit was so strong at that moment, not to mention he's in the Mormon tabernacle choir so that helped with the beauty! 
The temple was used for church meetings and a few times durring those meetings Joseph smith would become pale and stand in awe because he knew the Jesus Christ has been in their midst. At night there would be lights in the temple when no one was there because the angels would be visiting. Joseph has written in D&C about how he has communicated with Jesus in this very building. It's a spectacular, surreal place to be and I'm so thankful I was able to be there.
