Nauvoo

This year for our High Adventure we took a road trip to Nauvoo. I will admit I was skeptical of the trip and really didn't want to spend nearly 40 hours in the car to get there and back. In spite of that I went and ended up being really greatful for the opportunity.

The Nauvoo temple is the greatest I have have seen yet,

Though dirty, I though the Mississippi was pretty sweet.

Above you'll see the Original home of Brigham Young. Below is a plate inside the house, that is belived to be from Brigham Young's home originaly.

These next three are in the "70's" house, where the quorum of the seventy met.

My Dad's Grandpa, George Watt was called to be in the Quorum of The seventy. He also owned to lots of land in Nauvoo.

Carthage Jail

While staying in Nauvoo, we visited Carthage Jail. Many things I saw on this trip were just "Re-Contructions" that were made to be like their original, but Carthage Jail is the original. It is the same building where the founding prophet of our church stood, and where he and his brother Hyrum were martyred. Here the spirit was extremly strong and I felt an outpouring of love for Jospeph Smith and Hyrum. I am greatful for the sacrifices they made so that I could have to gospel in my life today. I loved Carthage jail and hope visit it again someday. Yeah! Check this shot out!

Other Insteresting Places I Saw

From Nebreska on, all of the cities had these water tanks with their name on it.

The grave-site of David Whitmer in the Richmond Cemetery.

The Community of Christ (RLDS) Temple located in Independence.

Adam-Ondi-Ahman

On the way to Nauvoo, we stopped at Adam-Ondi-Ahman. This is one of the most calm, peacful, and spiritual places I have every been. There I felt so comfortable and realized what a beautiful place it is.

This bug was the fastest thing I'd ever seen!
