This temple in Nauvoo, Illinois was built with considerable sacrifice in the mid 1840's, and was later burnt to the ground by the same people who led my ancestors and other Church members out of Illinois. The top two pics are originals of the Temple taken in the 1840's. The rock in the bottom picture is part of the rubble that was the original Temple and was given to me last month by the Shepherds in Idaho Falls. This gift has become a powerful symbol to me of the heritage and legacy I've inherited.
