Nauvoo

This was pretty stinkin' cool. We went to a ward of the Nauvoo mission. Who knew that there was a mission with enough missionaries to fill a ward? After an hour nap (it was 8 am church) we went to Historic Nauvoo. Tom, Beth, Jamie, Valerie and I were walking down the road and Tom out of nowhere says to imagine that we are all his wives. Of course we laughed at him, and in attempted redemption he said, "no really, just imagine it" so of course we laughed even harder! It was pretty funny. Then I ran face first into a sign. yeah. There is the big sign saying what the site is, and then under the perpendicular pole is a hanging sign declaring the hours open. Well the pole is barely above my head, so the sign basically covers my face. I have NO idea how I missed that--well I guess I didn't miss it did I? It was a pretty good day ;)

After an amazing dinner we went back down to the Temple to watch the sunset. That was really pretty. We talked about the temple for a little while and then as we were leaving I started talking to these boys. They were brothers--both VERY cute. Before you get too excited they were About Ethan and Calebs' ages ;) he he. They were on my level, so we talked Disney and such. I talked to their mom for a little while and we just had a good 'ole time. I think I spent nearly 45 minutes with their family. I even got the little girl to say my name ;) Tom and I then walked back to the hotel and had a really good talk about gospel stuff.

I was kind of thinking about the temple and seeing it is more like a memory. That sounds weird but it doesn't really seem real. It is beautiful though!
