Nauvoo Temple!

The high point of the trip was our time in the Nauvoo Temple. Rebuilt and dedicated in 2002, it is 99% accurate on the outside. The main difference is that it is now crowned with the Angel Moroni, versus the Nauvoo Angel in the 1800's. Enjoy the pictures!

On Friday, we spent the morning in the temple performing baptisms for the dead. It was a special experience for all of us, as it was the first time we had all been in the temple together. In Joseph Smith's journal, when he baptized one of Stephanie's relatives, he wrote, "Today I baptized Brother Robinson. The Spirit was there, and we had fun."

Saturday morning, Stephanie and I did an endowment session. The Spirit was strong, and we were uplifted.

Wow great pictures! I can't believe we're not still there to go with you. That would have been so fun. We're jealous!
