This is a picture of the Nauvoo Temple where my parents are serving a Mission. I had the chance to go back to Nauvoo last year and experience Nauvoo the best I think anyone can experience it. Me and two of my sisters flew back there and stayed with the two best tour guides we could ever ask for. (my parents). We got to stay right down in the "hub" of Nauvoo. Where all the sights and pageant etc. are located. I learned so much and now that our Relief society lessons are on Joseph Smith they have a ton more meaning to me than they probably would have otherwise. Anyway, my little sister, Kandice and her husband are just returning from Nauvoo today and it makes me a want to go back and experience it one last time before my parents return home. It was such a good learning experience and so much easier to imagine when they talk about the experiences of the early saints. And now that we are coming up on the 24th of the July and the celebration of the saints arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, it brings such a greater appreciation for the trials that they experienced in Nauvoo and their journey west.

I had some great experiences in Nauvoo and one in particular that was a great realization that my Heavenly Father was aware of us and loves us no matter how small or insignificant we may feel about ourselves.

I can't wait to hear about all the adventures Kandice and Dave had in Nauvoo. And I am very glad that my parents had the chance to serve a mission in such a great historical spot so that my knowledge and testimony could be increased. Thank goodness for missionary work.

Speaking of Missionary work, Tanner, gave a talk today in Primary on Missionary work and he did such a good job! He had his talk all memorized and he stood up and gave it so cute and the primary kids listened to him so well. I was so proud of him and I couldn't help but think what a great missionary he will make some day!
