In September, we took a trip down to St. Louis. On the way back, we decided to take a stop in Nauvoo. Before going to Nauvoo, we stopped in Carthage, to see the jail because Mark had never been. I felt that it would be a good experience to have before his mission. It was amazing being there. I absolutely love the spirit. It's so amazing.
