An Amazing Testimony Builder!

I LOVE NAUVOO!! I want to go back and never leave! This weekend all of the awesome people we live out here in Illinois with decided to pack up for a short little get away! We are only about 2 hours from Nauvoo and it was so perfect. We found this house that we could all rent together named the Bywater House. It was so cute and old. The inside was redone so it was so nice and homey! I wish we were living tere for the rest of the summer. The beds were so comfy! We had so much fun there. We played fun games and watched the NBA games! So intense! We also made a yummmy dinner that we ate outside. Isn't the temple so beautiful? We sat on the grass outside of the temple at night and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Kameron and I were able to go do sealings in the temple and it was my first time doing them since we have been married and it was such a sweet reminder of our wedding day. Nauvoo has such a sweet spirit about it and I felt so calm and at peace there. We were able to make it to Carthage and this was so cool but also saddening. We couldn't believe that we were actually standing and walking where our sweet Prophet Joseph Smith walked. Our testimony of him grew so much. He was an amazing person and did everything he could to help everyone who was in his life. He was so brave and loyal. We are forever grateful for what he did for the Church and we love him for restoring the Gospel to the earth. What and OUTSTANDING person. We loved being with our friends and making sweet memories that we will never forget! Nauvoo is such a unique place and we want to tell everyone to get there!!!!!!! You wont regret it!
