Abe Lincoln


This is at the Museum in Springfield Illinois. In front of the Capital when he was President.


The Log House he was raised in, he taught himself to read

On the campaign trail when he ran for President he must have used this. We really did enjoy going and seeing and learning all about Abraham Lincoln. What a great man he was.

Surprise, this is Sister Murphy. We served in Ukraine together. I saw her in the spring but I didn't have a camera but she came again with a youth group as one of the leaders. I gave her my long winter coat just before leaving Ukraine and she said she wore it. She said she left it for others and that it would be my legacy. What a special young lady she is.
Sister Hadley, a single Sister after losing her husband. This was her first attempt to bake bread in the Bustle Oven, which is in the back ground. They were perfect!

Child of God

Elder Williams driving the Band Wagon. He had just bought new ribbons for the horses. The Band went through out Nauvoo playing.

I've never seen such big flowers except on Linda's Blog when she was serving in Nauvoo.

I'm not real sure whose hole this is maybe a Raccoon.

This is what the first Nauvoo temple looked like. Lucius Scovil had them made in England.
This video is at Pioneer Pastimes and they played for this girl in the wheelchair. The song is perfect.
