Nat's grandmother turned ninety this summer and we decided to make the drive to be there to celebrate with the family. We stopped in Nauvoo for a couple of days on the way there and I was so pleased that we did. I started crying tears of joy about an hour outside of Nauvoo, I was so happy to be bringing my babies to a place that means so much to me.
We started our visit at the visitor's center. Luke spent a good twenty minutes talking with a sister missionary (while Nat and I chased the other three around) and had, by his description, a wonderfully spiritual experience. She challenged him to look for the Savior in all the homes, shops and stories of historic Nauvoo. He took the challenge to heart and had a wonderful time. He's so sensitive to the spirit. After his chat with this dear missionary we sat on a bench in the statue garden and I told him why Nauvoo is so special to me. We really couldn't have had a better start to our time in Nauvoo.
