Since we were already driving so far, we decided to make a stop along the way in Nauvoo, IL and it was SO COOL!! We didn't realize that Nauvoo is where all the elderly couples go to serve missions! They are all dressed up in the period clothing and tell you stories about each of the historical homes and buildings. We definitely did not have enough time to do it justice. Two of our favorite things were going to the Carthage Jail and feeling the spirit so strong where the prophet Joseph Smith was martyred, and walking down Parley Street where the saints walked to ferry across the river into Iowa as they were being persecuted. They have posted testimonials of the saints every fifteen feet along the path and it is so cool!
