Nolan and Gloria Clark visit Nauvoo. A trip to Carthage on Sunday afternoon. They are on their way to a Family History Mission in North Carolina (where Gloria has family)

 

 

A day at the temple with Johnny--from the Baptistry up to the bell tower--we did it all together! We walked the Trail of Hope, viewed the graves of Joseph, Emma and Hyrum, checked out the Stone Arch Bridge and ended the day at our favorite Chinese restaurant with some missionary friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meeting Elder Watkins (Johnny) in Minneapolis as he concludes his mission. His Mission Pres. and wife, Bro. and Sis. Clements. A burger at Newts in Rochester and a view of part of the massive Mayo Clinic complex.

 

 

 

 

Nauvoo Temple Choir 2012--What a blessing that I get to lead them!

 

Jerry and Pam Meier performing their last evening in "Sunset on the Mississippi"--Jerry was a fine narrator! P-Day trip to the Rock Island Arsenal in Davenport, IA--guns, cannons, weapons--a guy thing but I enjoyed lunch at the Mongolian Grill.
