In the movie "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" the saints are draining the swamp and Joseph Smith cheerfully declares, "Nauvoo is the Hebrew word for beautiful." Some 150 years later we can confirm that his prophecy has come true.
Jessie and I visited the Nauvoo Temple to do one last session before the baby is born. We were blown away by the beauty of the craftsmanship that went into the restoration of the temple. More importantly there was a very sacred atmosphere throughout the temple grounds. It helped us to appreciate the beauty of the restored gospel and the sacrifices the early saints made so that we could enjoy such truths today.
