Carthage, Illinois

A few weeks ago, we were able to have Preston Schwab, Jeremy's friend, come for a few days. We took him to Nauvoo. We were able to go and see Carthage and Old Nauvoo.  

The Nauvoo Temple :) I just love this temple.

Before we went on the wagon ride through Old Nauvoo. 

Definitely doing this wagon ride again. It was neat to see all of the old houses and structures and what the city kind of looked like when the saints were there. Carly loved the ride. She mostly liked the sleeping baby she watched and watching the horses. 

Preston and Carly chasing after each other. 

Don't mind Preston's sweatshirt, he definitely had an Ohio State blanket on his bed while he was here :)

We put her in the jail. She wasn't too fond of it. 

  The sister missionary that was serving at Carthage Jail told us that we were being obedient for coming to Carthage.  We were counseled in this past General Conference to make sure we have a testimony of our Prophet Joseph Smith. I have always loved going to Nauvoo. I feel every time I go, my testimony is strengthened just a little bit more because of what Joseph and the saints sacrificed.
