Wednesday morning we had a fun time trying to squeeze in a little more events before we left Nauvoo. This is a picture of Spencer and I in front of the Wilford Woodruff house. It was beautiful. An interesting fact is... If you look at the roof you will notice that there are a lot of chimneys. President Woodruff did not like the cold. He made sure he had a fireplace in every room. 
This was our next stop in Adam-Ondi-Ahman.
This is where we stayed. Isn't it a cute house. It is actually where missionary couples live. There is a small apartment that visiting family can stay in. We were lucky to be able to stay here because my in-laws have friends that are currently serving a mission in Adam-ondi-Ahman. We had a fun time going out to dinner with one of the missionary couples and realized how small of a world it really is when I realized they are best friends with some of our best friends. (Jared and Sammy Pottle) We had a fun time with the Wrights and hope to keep in contact.
Part of the deal... being able to stay in Adam-Ondi-Ahman was Spencer and my Father-in-law got up early Thursday morning and helped do the labor work. They actually went to a newly found old cemetery and recorded TONS of names from every head board. They are making it into a book so the towns people can see if they have any relatives in this old grave yard and then do all the temple work for these people. During that time my Mother-in-Law taught me how to crochet around baby blankets and burp clothes. When the boys got home from working we went to a small Amish town and looked around for a short time before we had to head back to get ready for a dinner with all the missionary couple (12) and some investigators. After the dinner we all headed over to Kansas City for an AMAZING Tabernacle Choir Concert. It was so good!!!
I'm not sure what exactly is going on with the Man next to Spencer but... We got a good laugh at the picture. The concert was wonderful. The next morning we got up early and continued our little journey....... (2 more days)
