Another great thing about going to Nauvoo are the people and places we see. On Monday we went to Carthage and ran into our former stake president who just got released as the mission president of the Orem Utah Mission. Their family was having a family reunion.
On Wednesday, Camille's kidney donor drove out from Chicago to see us. It was a long drive for them to come so I appreciate them making the effort. Camille loved seeing her.
We also got to see a few people from my son's church in Louisiana because their youth program came to Nauvoo at the same time we did. They remembered us from our visits there.
One blessing of our week in Nauvoo was that the family of my good friend since college was also there, the whole week, also participating in the Gold Cast. We did the Community of Christ tour with them, had a pizza picnic, did ice cream, and hung out during the pageant. It was great for my children to make new friends.
And still another blessing was that my brother and his family came to see us in Nauvoo even though they have been there so many times that I think they're getting sick of it. They loved participating in the pageant two years ago. They came on Friday night and spent some time with us on Saturday before the pageant. We stopped at their church on Sunday afternoon on our way home. It was great to see them.
