If you have been on a such a tour, I'd love to hear your story.
I went on a CHT in 2008. I was hoping to come home a more spiritual person. I thought that listening to well informed tour guides at all the top LDS cites would answer some of my questions. Maybe in the Nauvoo Temple I'd be filled with the spirit and receive the further light and knowledge that I hadn't received in any of the other temples I'd attended.
To prepare for my trip I went to Seagull Book and bought Rough Stone Rolling. I wanted to know enough about Joseph to ask intelligent questions of those all knowing guides.
I finished the book with a firm belief that Joseph was a fallen prophet. I had decided previously that Brigham was a genius and the saints would not have survived without him, but he was not a very nice man.
On the tour, when questioned about the mysteries of the church, John Lund always answered something like,"Don't give up what you know because of something you don't understand".
That's not an answer, but it was the best answer I heard on the entire tour. If you think your Gosple Doctrine class was shallow, you should listen to the sweet mishies at the CH cites.
I came home with all of my original questions, no warm fuzzy feeling and a few questions I hadn't thought of before I left.
Adam-ondi-ahman really?
