Carthage

After we left Winter Quarters and Council Bluffs we drove about half way back to Nauvoo and stayed in a small town called Oceola for the night. The next morning we got up and drove on to Carthage. Carthage was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I definitely felt the spirit as I sat in the room where Joseph and Hyrum were martyred. I wish they would have given us more time to just sit in the jail and ponder the events that happened there, but I am so grateful for the chance that I had to go.
