Our Temple trip
We had the opportunity to go to the Nauvoo temple last month and to take the elders with us. It was a great experience. The Nauvoo valley was beautiful. The river was partly frozen over and there were huge chunks of ice along the side of the river. We took the elders down to see Carthage Jail and our drive took us along the side of the river. As we were driving we saw bald eagles just sitting on the river. There were at least 15. I have never seen one up that close before. They are really beautiful. It is always and amazing experience to go to Carthage and stand in the place where Joseph and Hyrum sacrificed their lives. It is truly a blessing to be so close to these two amazing historic places. We love it here.
