This post is way out of chronological order but thought better having it towards the end of this year's blogging journal than not at all. We wish we had more of you family members in on these trips but will just have to see your pictures on your blogs. This is the Independence temple of what was the Reorganized church but now goes by another name, community of Christ Church.
This is Liberty Jail, in Liberty, Clay county, Missouri where Joseph Smith and 4 others were imprisoned in the winter of 1938.

This is in Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri. A statue of Joseph Smith in front of the store. Nearby is where the cornerstones for the Far West temple were laid.
Plaque at one of the cornerstones at Far West.
This is overlooking the Adam-ondi-Ahman valley in Missouri. Orson Pratt said the name means "Valley of God, where Adam dwelt.
We made a stop in Hannibal, Missouri where Mark Twain lived.
The Mississippi River
We got to Nauvoo, Illinois. This is the visitor's center.
This is the view from the Nauvoo temple overlooking the town and the Mississippi River.
We went on a buggy ride through the town and talked to many of the missionaries there.
Nauvoo temple
This is where Brigham Young lived. We were able to find out where the plot of land where our ancestors lived at the family research center.
This is Orson Hyde's house. He is the ancestor of our friend, Marjorie Nichols.
Then we went to Carthage Jail about 15 minutes away in Carthage, Illinois.
Previously we had met up with Mindy Lukens at the visitor's center. She is a long time family friend who was then serving a mission there. She gave us a tour through the Carthage Jail which was very interesting.
