Youth Conference in Nauvoo

Sean had the opportunity to take his Young Men to Youth Conference this year in Nauvoo. He had a really great time with them and they came home with stronger testimonies and some great memories from the experience.

They were able to perform baptisms in the recently built Nauvoo temple.




They went during Pioneer weekend so the pageant was still going on while they were there.




They played some pioneer games by the river while the sun was setting.



During free time, he took them on a buggy ride to see the sights and the shops. He also took them to the records place where geneology was provided for anyone who wanted to find there families. One of the boys had family buried in the cemetery in Nauvoo so they looked up his names and went and visited them. This was the view from the cemetery.



They also visited Carthage jail where the Prophet and his brother were martyred. That was a really neat experience!




They also went on a miniature treck and pulled handcarts for a couple of hours. The boys said that was one of their favorite things they did.
