Since coming to Nauvoo I have found extended family members that are also serving as full time missionaries and we have connected. 

From L to R

Elder & Sister Robison (I have already explained our connection in an earlier post on this blog) me, and Sister Bonnie and Elder Bruce Dalton from Panguitch, Utah. Sister Robison, Elder Dalton and I all share the same Great Great Grandfather - Charles Wakeman Dalton - who lived here in Nauvoo (along with his father, Simon Cooker Dalton) in the 1840s! I am related to Elder Robison through my Doyle line, and we had Robisons that lived here in Nauvoo. The Nauvoo connections are amazing among the missionaries serving here! I seem to find more each week!

These outdoor photos are taken at Inspiration Point. People are taken here on the Carriage Ride! It was a favorite spot of the prophet Joseph Smith when he lived here. I can see why - it is beautiful and it actually has a wonderful view of the Mississippi River even though my pictures don't show it very good! 

 This is one of the best kept secrets here in Nauvoo! It is a wonderful little museum with amazing early Mormon artifacts on display that are the collection of Don Black. It is located at the Nauvoo Log Cabins - family lodging location just down the street from where I live. If you are coming to Nauvoo it should be a "must see". This lodging site is also a wonderful place to stay. Check it out at www.nauvoologcabins.com.
