Winter Quarters

We woke up in North Platt, NE to snow this morning. As we headed east the weather got better and by the time we arrived in Omaha the sun was out. Still very chilly here and I wonder how the Saints did it.

The visitors center and cemetary have a really special spirit. The Winter Quarters Temple is beautiful with some incredible stain glass. As we drove up we met the Deckers from Idaho Falls who are also on their way to Palmyra to serve in the temple. We were to look for them in Palmyra because they are related to Amy Bergeson's husband Matt. Small world. After doing an endowment session we drove over to the Tabernacle in Council Bluffs. It is replica of a meeting house built for the Saints in Council Bluffs. It was built in 18 days and is where the church sustained Brigham Young as Prophet of the church in 1846.
