day three nauvoo: the city of joseph

i love the city of nauvoo. i love being where the Saints have been, in a place they turned from disease infested swampland to, at one time, the largest, most thriving city in illinois. i love walking along the trail to the mississippi river where these same Saints lined up with oxen and carriages to leave their homes and journey west. i love being a part of that faith-filled legacy, and i love sharing it with my children.
