FHE

This week was our turn to host FHE with 4 other missionary couples. We invited another couple - brother Nieman is the head construction supervisor on the 4 homes they are currently restoring. We asked them to talk about the people and the process of restoring the homes.  It was so interesting and makes you appreciate the work and thought and little miracles that seem to accompany every part of bringing Nauvoo back to life. William Weeks was the temple architect. William Gheen worked on the temple nearly every day but died before it was completed. (Great grand parent of Spencer W. Kimball). Edward Hunter was an affluent and generous saint. At one time Joseph told him to “cease donating”. He became Presiding Bishop of the church.   And to think they plan to have all these homes open for tours next summer!  The work goes on.
