We arrived home from Nauvoo in the early hours of this morning after driving all the night before. We only meant to spend Tuesday night in Nauvoo, but as I said my prayers that night I had a strong impression that we should stay longer. I thought of the promise that Elder Bednar gave to the youth in the last General Conference. He said that as youth engage in family history work and experience the spirit of Elijah they will be safeguarded against the temptations of the adversary. We need that help. I felt that we needed to stay so the children could come to know the pioneers better and start to care about them more, feel closer to them. I am so grateful we stayed! It was a beautiful experience for our family.
