week. Together with 27 other employees and their spouses (there were
54 total) we toured the midwest including Independence, Liberty, Hans
Mill, Far West, Nauvoo, Carthage, Mt Pisgah, Council Bluffs and Winter
Quarters with several other small stops along the way.
It was an incredible experience and a marvelous reminder of the
nobility and faith of our Pioneer Heritage. I have such a reverence
and respect for those early Saints who forsake everything time and
time and time again to follow the Prophet and do their part in
building the kingdom of God.
"Let the fire of the covenant which you made in the House of the Lord,
burn in your hearts, like a flame unquenchable." Brigham Young.
It was a holy experience to attend a session at the Nauvoo temple. I
gained a witness that it was those covenants that the Pioneers made in
that temple that allowed them to close the doors of their home and
step on a frozen Mississippi River into the unknown. The temple
serves as a spectacular reminder of what truly is important and the
covenants that we make within those walls give us greater perspective
of our purpose and part.
