Farewell to Old Nauvoo

So I am pretty much going to sum it all up here. We spent more time touring the flats but this time we took a wagon ride to inspiration point. It was pretty cold and windy, most days were overcast but not too hot or humid.
We went to the Lands and Records office and it turns out we passed some of my ancestors property while on the wagon ride. Then we went to the Seventy's Hall and I found my ancestor was one of the Seventy's back in the day. They had a big chapel there so we took a picture.


Saturday we went to another play put on by the performing missionaries. They are really good. We found Kyle a wife too, so that was fun.

This is our whole tour group- It was a fun bunch of people. They were mostly older but nice people.

Cody and I in front of the temple- What a beautiful temple that represents so much to our church and our heritage.

Being in Nauvoo you feel such a strong witness of the gospel all around you. The Spirit of Joseph resides in that place and it is holy ground. President Hinckley instructed everyone to walk down Parley street and the "Trail of Hope." We had the opportunity to go there a few times and look back at the temple. I can't imagine all the suffering and sacrifice, but I know it had to be so hard! I am thankful for such amazing people that sacrificed so much, for the prophet Joseph Smith, and for such an amazing church that we belong to.
