Christmas Pageant and Walk in Nauvoo Sites

The site missionaries with help from the young single adults are putting on a Christmas pageant that will be held on Friday evening.  Since we will be serving in the temple at that time, we were able to watch a dress rehearsal last night.  The music sang by the site missionaries was powerful.

The young man who plays Joseph is in the Nauvoo 1st Ward.  He looks perfect for the part.

I have a conscience void of offense towards God and towards all men.”  The riders climbed the hill to the temple as the sun rose, casting golden light over the building’s unfinished walls.
