Trail Of Hope

Everything is green here. We have had a lot of rain this year and since we came the leaves have come out  and it is a beautiful sight.

Parley Street is the path the saints took to cross the Mississippi as they were driven out of Nauvoo.

Along Parley Street is called the Trail of Hope.  There are plaques showing bits of writing from these pioneer's journals. These are a few of them.

One of the benefits of working in the Nauvoo Temple has been that we have opportunities to perform temple ordinances for our ancestors. The "Take a Name" app makes it very easy to find ancestors who need ordinances. We print out the cards and keep them with us because we never know when we will be able to use them. We are regularly assigned to do sealings and have been able to do many. 

Last week the Schmidt's from the 4th ward in South Jordan left us a note in our mail slot and asked us to dinner. Their mission here is with facilities management. Dinner was very good and they were able to tell us a lot about everything here because they have been here 14 months.
