On day 6 (June 2, 2008) we started out our day at Carthage Jail where the prophet Joseph Smith was martyred. Jennie is standing where he landed after he fell from the upper window you see in the picture. It was amazing being here because it had one of the most reverent feelings I have ever experienced.
After Carthage, we drove back into
Nauvoo and toured the sites. My favorite was of course the Temple. It was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined!
When we were done visiting the temple we saw where the prophet used to live. This is where he and his wife Emma as well as his brother
Hyrum are buried. In this same cemetery his parents and many of his other family members are buried as well.
This is one of the original sun stones from the
Nauvoo temple. We found it outside of the
LDS visitor's center in
Nauvoo. If you look really hard you can see Brooklyn and Jennie in the reflection.
We found this on a path leading to the Mississippi River. It is one of Kevin's ancestors! Pretty Cool if you ask me!
When we were done touring
Nauvoo, we hopped in the car and headed for
Schaumburg where we finally settled in at our new apartment. We will be here for the next 3 months! Wish us luck!
