Inside the Visitor's Center

This is the Visitor's Center - There are two auditoriums, and many displays.

This statue is larger than life and as you examine it, it unfolds like the scriptures.

A relief map of Nauvoo with the temple on the hill.
We went inside planning to look at everything on every wall and read every plaque - but they were closing in an hour.  We brushed off the missionaries who wanted to give us a tour and then a sweet sister offered to walk with us.  She had been here for 3 weeks.  The young sister missionaries are called for 18 months.  They spend 6 months in Nauvoo, then 6 months someplace else (all over the US) and then another 6 months in Nauvoo.  What a mission call!!!  We enjoyed her and let her practice on us.
