Nauvoo

We are now back from our trip. It was really fun and so educational, especially listening to our Partiarch of the family...Grandpa Lonnie telling us lots of church history lessons. We enjoyed the town of Nauvoo and even went in the Temple and did baptisms for the dead. It was so ironic because all the girls got wet and all the guys hair stayed dry! One of my favorite parts was the "trail of tears" now called the" trail of hope" where the saints waited in line with their wagons to cross the Mississippi river. They have plaques written by people who experienced it. It was pretty emotional and touching. I also liked the jail and room in Carthidge where Joseph Smith and his brother were killed, it was very spiritual and made the whole experience even more special. It was nice to see Brian's family and catch up with some we don't see much anymore. Thanks to the McCleve's for the trip in Julty to New York and for Part 2 in Nauvoo..How blessed I am!
