Day 5 -Thursday - 6/10/10 -Omaha to Nauvoo Illinois

At 9:00 a.m. we arrived at the Kanesville Tabneracle and toured the center there. It is a replica of the 1st tabernacle in the wilderness, where Brigham Young was sustained as a president of the church. We started the tour with a Sister Michaelsen (older couple our age) then her husband took us to the log tabernacle. The catholic church owned this historical building and couldn't keep it up so they sold it to the Church. They remodeled it and it turned out beautiful. It is in a very seedy part of town. We were there about an hour and half as Jonny and Brother Michaelsen talked alot. I think if we were to go on a mission like this Jonny would be the talker and I would be the ?????

Arrived in Nauvoo at 4:30 and wanted to go to the temple at 5:00. There is a reception place right across the street and we able to change our clothes and make the session. I will tell you all about that experience when I see you. After the session stopped off at a new sandwich/ice cream parlor, then got a hotel room. This is a fairly new hotel and you can tell it is run by LDS as the rooms are huge. You can fit 10 people in here for sure. Also has a cute gift show, beauty shop and restaurant.
