We arrived in Nauvoo in the mid-afternoon on a very beautiful, clear Autumn day. It was such a feeling to see the Temple gracing this prominence above the Mississippi on the very spot where the original Temple once stood. We visited the Temple site 24 years ago when we picked up our son Jeffery from the mission field in West Virginia (Jan, 84). We stopped in Nauvoo on our way home.
This Temple is affirmation of the history and the destiny of this great Church and its mission to the world!
How wonderful to be here! We took a room at a hotel a short distance away and settled down to view the BYU-TCU game.
We are hoping to prepare ourselves in the morning to attend a temple session after we check out of our hotel.
