This image is dedicated to my dad!!!! Arnold Miller.... I'm so grateful for faithful parents who always set a good example for us, and continue to do so, as they prepare to go on a mission next January. It will be fun to see where they end up, and what they will be doing. I think it will help build excitement for my boys to go on their mission. Life is Great!!

After Carthage we went to Nauvoo. We went to the temple, saw the pagaent and lots of other wonderful things in Nauvoo. I loved it so much that I want to go back next year with all of the kids. It was so beautiful to be right off the Mississippi river. The B&B we stayed in had a whole wall of windows, and each morning we looked right out over the beautiful green trees into the river. It almost made me want to live there.

Allen is looking onto the spot where Joseph fell from the second story window when he was shot and killed. "Next to the well"


Joseph and Hyrum "In life they were not divided, in death they were not separated."

This July, we went to St. Louis, and drove up to Nauvoo. We stopped by Carthage Jail and saw where Joseph and Hyrum were martyred. It was such a spiritual experience. To recognize that the jailer saw after just one evening with the prophet and his followers, that they were not the criminals he had been told that they were, and felt such compasion on them, that he gave them his own bedroom to sleep in rather than the "dungeon cell" that they were assigned to stay in. There may always be bad people in the world, but there will also always be good and righteous people in the world also.
