Carthage Jail

We woke up early to head to Carthage. I really wanted Carthage Jail to be last. I wanted to follow a chronological order. But we would have back peddled, and we were on a tight enough schedule already. This was Dustin's favorite part of the trip. We weeped all through the tour. For me, however, it was too heavy. So much heavy emotion and feelings were present. I'm not going to say I don't like to feel uncomfortable, who does, but I don't like heavy...this was too heavy. But I did love to sit outside and just htink about what happened in theis place. Sacred ground for us for sure. 

I did find a couple quotes that I like from Joseph Smith, Jr:

“I never feel to force my doctrine upon any person; I rejoice to see prejudice give way to truth, and the traditions of men dispersed by the pure principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ”

“And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of Him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of Him: that He lives! For we saw Him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that He is the Only Begotten of The Father...that by Him, and through Him, and of Him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God."
