Good Old Nauvoo

Last weekend we took a trip down to Nauvoo. It was the perfect meeting spot for family and friends, almost in the middle of Milwaukee, Kansas City, and Minneapolis. It was sure a fun weekend trip. We had some good camping, good temple visit, good chats with the nauvoo missionaries, good dancing (well that was from the BYU dancers not us), and even good food. What more could you ask for, even the heat wasn't all that bad. Well most of all I would have to say we had good company. I would have to say I sure appreciated the Nauvoo experience and what the Saints went through now that I am older and understand more of the trials and tribulations. They sure are right when they say there is a 'spirit' in Nauvoo. You can't help but appreciate, and sometimes even get a little teary eyed, when talking about what suffering, but also what joy the Saints had there with their Prophet Joseph. I would highly recommend the visit for anyone who hasn't been.
