Trail of Hope in Nauvoo, IL

As the Saints were forced to leave their homes in Nauvoo, they lined up their wagons along Parley Street as they waited for the ferry.

We walked down the street and read signs with written accounts left by people as they left.

Due to all of the rain, the Mississippi was very high.  

My father baptized a convert to the church years ago at this same spot in the middle of winter.
