STILL TRAVELING

     Well we made it to ----no not Tampa but  Nashville Tenn. We have been driving for what seems like months but in reality it is just a few days.  We have visited Elder and Sister  Brenchley in Independence MO.-- seeing the Visitor's center, the Temple Lot, and the Liberty Jail.  It is always a great experience to feel the spirit that is in those places. We traveled up to Nauvoo, IL.--Old Nauvoo and Carthage jail, and felt the spirit of all those saints who gave so much to help us be better people, and the last stop was in E. St. Louis,IL.  visiting the Cahokia Mound Builders Museum--they lived in this country long before the white man came , It is interesting to contemplate who those Indians really were.  It has been a fun couple of days. Now we must get to Tampa!!
      We have missed the terrible tornadoes that happened in the Mississippi area.  We have had a lot of rain and wind and wind and wind. My hair is now in a hair blown  state!! We feel bad for the people that lost their lives and for the people that lost their homes.
      We are getting excited to be in Tampa. We wish that it would be a shorter trip, but it isn't. So we will keep traveling several more days hopefully arriving on Friday.

  1. I love the Cohokia mounds. I am thrilled that you got to see the old church sites again and didn't get sucked up into a tornado. I imagine by now you have arrived, today being Saturday, May 3rd. Keep us posted, especially about your first day in Tampa.
