Pioneers

My parents came to visit for a week and while they were here we took a road trip to Nauvoo. It was my first time experiencing the pioneer settlement there and I was in ouh. There are so many beautiful buildings and much history to take in, in just a couple of days but boy was it EVER worth it. I walked to "trail of tears", where it is said to have been the path the pioneers walked when departing Nauvoo in the dead, cold of winter. There's a wonderful feeling and peace that remains down this path that makes it hard to walk off of. I am still struck by the strength these families had, for the courage, faith in Joseph Smith, and love they had for their religion and for the lord. Oh what a magnificent journey they had and took without much hesitation. I look back at some of the trials and tribulations I've had in my life and I think "Man what a baby" Anyway, I won't talk too much just wanted to share this photo of Marley in her best pioneer moment.
