The Nauvoo Temple

After church on Sunday we went by the Nauvoo temple to walk around. Before we did any other sightseeing. It is so beautiful. I can't imagine what it was like for the saints to have constructed this building!! What determination and persistence they had!!


I took a ton of pics, so here are a few.

One of the flowers around the temple. Our family in front of the temple. A cute senior couple took the pic for us.
I love the architecture of the spire. Such amazing detail.

And yet another angle.
More views of the temple. I love the sun stone. They had one of just a few originals left outside the visitor center. It is encased in what I imagine is bullet proof glass.
This statue is down the hill from the temple.
