Nauvoo

If you had to guess what our faces looked like when we boarded a bus with fifty teenagers to drive over 12 hours... what do you think those faces would look like? Here's a hint.

It was a terrifying thought. But riding a bus from Atlanta to Nauvoo was just the beginning of a super fun whirlwind weekend with the youth of the Atlanta, Georgia Stake.

Our fun group!

It really was a whirlwind of a weekend - driving through the night to get there and back in three days. But the spirit in Nauvoo, Illinois is so strong and so beautiful. We spent time learning about the early saints and the sacrifices that they made to enjoy the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the latter-days. I owe my life to my pioneer ancestors who made those sacrifices and who started my family on a blessed path. We love the youth of our ward and stake and were so grateful to be able to travel and spend time with them last summer. Hooray for the Atlanta, Georgia Stake!
