I was able to finally go to Nauvoo! Even though it was freezing it was kind of nice that it wasn't crowded. We had the whole town to ourselves. Here is my Grandma Haering, Mom, Aunt Karen and I in front of the temple.
Here is my mom and I looking like eskimos in front of Joseph and Emma outside of the visitors center. Below is our hotel. Our room was the Joseph and Emma Suite and we could see the temple and the mississippi from our windows. The balcony in the middle was ours and their was a huge statue of Joseph below us outside. We kept thinking there was someone out there watching us!
My camera decided to die right when Bobby and Kierra came out of the temple. So this is the only picture I have. This is them with Kierra's family. Kierra looked beautiful in her wedding dress.
This is the statue of Brigham and Joseph as they are looking to the west. It was fun to see all of the little houses and shops and to picture what their lives must have been like. We were there only a few weeks before the pioneers left. So we could imagine how cold they were. My ancestor Joseph Stacey Murdock lived there with the Saints. We got to see where his property was and learn more about his life. This was a wonderful experience to walk where Joseph walked and to gain a stronger testimony of the Restoration. Maybe we will go back again when it is a little warmer.
