Nauvoo

This summer my sister, Heather had to take her son to Iowa. She decided to take me and my little sister along with all her kids. It was such an amazing experience. We went to Carthage Jail, where my testimony of Joseph Smith was reaffirmed. I know without a doubt that Joseph Smith restored the gospel and that he died for such a great cause. That cause still exists today. When we went to Nauvoo, Kelsie and Kamrin wanted to go everywhere and do everything. It was such a special experience to take the girls around Nauvoo. They listened so intently and even participated in the conversations. I am so grateful for the example these two little girls set for me. Later that day, we attended the pageant. It was an amazing experience. The saints were so intent on following the gospel and keeping the commandments that they gave up so much. I know that the gospel is true and that it is the only true church upon the Earth today.
