Here a Temple , There a Temple

This is overdue, but I've started another fitness journey having made it to Salt Lake. I so enjoyed that trek and got so much support that I've started a new one! My group is now doing a virtual temple hop. We started in Kirtland, the first LDS temple. Now We've stopped in Nauvoo.

So a few facts:
Kirtland-
~This was the first temple built by the Latter-day Saints.
~Construction began June 6, 1833
~It was dedicated on March 27, 1836 by Joseph Smith Jr.
~Many ladies donated their families' china and glassware to be crushed into the plaster for the exterior of the temple.

Nauvoo-
~Construction began in the spring of 1841.
~It was dedicated April 30,1846 by Joseph Young.
~Specific portions of this temple were dedicated before construction was complete so the saints could begin ordinance work.
~The original temple was destroyed by fire and later by a tornado.

Now we are on our way to St. George Utah. Join us in this adventure! Hopefully I'll have a working keyboard. The hunt and peck of the on-screen keyboard is very slow. But, I'm grateful for it since without it I would be unable to type at all!

Have a great day and take a moment to check out my books!
