So we landed in Nauvoo. After nasty "blueberry" pancakes midwest style. We headed out to see Nauvoo.
It was far off the beaten path and hard to get to but worth the trip. It is a village with 300 missionaries working. In the Nauvoo ward it truly is "every member a missionary". We stopped at Brigham Youngs House, Heber Grants Abode, John Taylor's house. We visited the Browning house where the famous guns smith lived. Sammie tried out the first machine gun. Then onto the Blacksmith shop where Dillon got a newly made horse shoe for a mini horse.
We made it over to the "Community of Christ Church" where Joseph Smith was buried along with Hyman his beloved brother. The Temple was a site to see. Beautiful. It made us cry to think of the Saints leaving Nauvoo looking back to see the Temple they had built on fire. It must of been so hard and yet the continued on to Iowa and so did we. NEXT POST Carthage jail.
