So my friend Kenzi and I went and helped cleaned the Nauvoo temple this week and it was a really fun experience. It was a little strange at first just walking around inside the temple, but it was fun to see some of the things that you usually wouldn't see while doing a session.
We were able to walk down the hall way with some of the original temple clothes from saints that lived in Nauvoo, keys to the original temple and we saw Joseph Smith's sword. They head custodian lady showed us part of the painting in one of the rooms that President Hinckley painted and she also showed us some of the "secrets" to the murals in the rooms.
She told us that next time we could go up in the tower that is on top of the temple!
It was fun to get out of Kirksville and have girl talk on the way to Nauvoo. Thanks for going with me Kenzi!!
