So here's the rundown of today....
We traveled from Nauvoo to Carthage, Illinois to see the place where the Prophet Joseph and his brother, Hyrum died.
It was a somber experience.
 |
| The door of the room where Joseph and Hyrum was shot...the bullet hole that killed Hyrum is still in the door. |
I'm grateful for his sacrifice. He knew he wouldn't be seeing his family again, and yet, he followed God's plan for him and had faith that all would be well.
 |
| The yard into which Joseph fell. |
I'm not sure I have that kind of faith. I'm hoping that someday, I will.
 |
| One of the plaques that are in the Carthage yard. I really liked this quote by the Prophet. |
 |
| This captures the window that Joseph fell from as well as Joseph's testimony. |
After Carthage, we drove to St. Louis, Missouri.
We saw the temple.
We went to the Gateway Arch.
 |
| Looking 630 feet down from the top of the Arch. |
 |
It's Flat Red Poncho at the top of the Gateway Arch! |
We went to our hotel.
 |
| Two of my guys....they look very similar as they walk....definitely father and son! |
We ate Panda Express for dinner.
We're going to bed early.
Hopefully.
Next stop: Kansas City, Missouri, with trips to Liberty and Independence.
Love Carthage! Somber is a perfect word to describe it!
