I guess I'll go off from my last post, and do something I wasn't anticipating or planning on. I am so grateful for Nauvoo. :) Oh, how I love that little town. I have the fondest memories walking the streets as pumpkins lined the streets and were lit up. I loved trying the little restaurants, and visiting the little shops to see what treasures there were inside.
I LOVED living across the street from the temple where I was so often reminded of the love that my Savior has for me.
I love that I got to meet Dale there and share so much of our experience together.
I love that my testimony of the early saints of our church grew and that I was able to find a true love and appreciate for all of them, but especially for Joseph Smith and the early apostles.
There is such a special spirit and felling in that town, and it's surrounding, and even in the temple. Oh how I miss that temple. The smell of that temple is amazing (it has a amazing amount of wood work, and smell of beautiful wood). The connection that is felt to those that once built a temple similar and lost it is SO prevalent when you're there. It's incredible.
I must stop though. I get "home sick" for Nauvoo if I linger on it too long. I'm forever grateful for that opportunity. It was fabulous.
I'll leave you with some pictures of sunrises and sunsets. ALWAYS amazing. Oh I have so many of these.
Sunrise the last week I was there. My roommate and I woke up early to go watch. It was incredible.
Sunsets on the Mississippi are amazing every night. Loved them.
