Andrew and I took off from Salt Lake City on March 29 for our trip across America to Fairfax Virginia, our new home for awhile. It was pretty scary getting out of SLC because a storm was coming in and we had to drive through the mountains in a blizzardy storm. We made it out alive and got ahead of the storm by our second day. Along the way we took a detour to Nauvoo Illinois and spent a day touring Nauvoo and Carthage. We were lucky enough to get to attend an endowment session at the Nauvoo Temple and really enjoyed the experience. We learned a lot about some of the things the early pioneers went through that I hadn't realized before. It was a great stop!
We also decided before we headed back on the road that we wanted to stop at Carthage Jail which was just a few miles away. We got to take a tour of the Jail and learn some more great facts about what it was like for the saints back in those days. I am forever greatful to those courageous saints and the struggles they went through.
Andrew was very artistic with this photograph. It is a picture of the window Joseph fell from looking threw a bullet hole from the mobs.
