Nauvoo with my parents Sept 2010

We live about 35 minutes from Nauvoo, IL. This has been such an amazing experience for our family. Our testimonies of the Joseph Smith as the prophet of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, have grown. We have acquire deeper admiration for the sacrifice the pioneers made and have learned so much about the history of the Church in this amazing place. Even the girls have felt a greater meaning of the word "pioneer". Little Rachel says to me all the time: "When I grow up I want to be, a Mom, an astronaut, and a pioneer. I love it! As you can see in the pictures, my parents came to visit us and we had a great time going to Nauvoo.
