I came to Nauvoo for a ward youth trip and I was only expecting an awesome temple experience but the performance of the elders and sisters there was inspirationally impressive. I’m now trying out to be a missionary there to share the talents the Lord gave me to help people feel the spirit as well as to prepare myself for my mission.
