Our last day in Nauvoo was awesome. My folks and I woke up and did some sessions at the temple. It was awesome. Definitely one of the all-time special days ever. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and loaded up the house of stuff that I brought. Ugh. Right before we left we walked the Trail of Hope, or Parley Street. It was the route that the saints took as they were leaving Nauvoo. It was such a sad thing to do, to walk where those poor people walked. They were losing their homes, their possessions, the temple and they had lost the Prophet Joseph. Yet, they were still hopeful and faithful that things were going to be alright.
After driving for a bit, we made it to Carthage. Another amazing experience to be where a prophet of God was, but under terrible circumstances that eventually ended his life. To take this journey was definitely eye-opening for sure.
