Monday, September 20 – Our all-day touring begins with a visit to Richmond to see the Three Witnesses Monument and the graves of David Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery. We will then continue on to: the Crooked River where Apostle David W. Patten was martyred; Far West where Joseph Smith received at least seven revelations; Gallatin where Mormons were beaten while attempting to vote in 1838; and Adam-ondi-Ahman where the “Ancient of Days” shall sit as spoken of by the Prophet Daniel. Our last stop will be a visit to the Amish town of Jamesport where we will enjoy an Amish meal at a local restaurant. After lunch we will travel the route taken by the saints so many years ago as we journey to Nauvoo. We are sure to feel blessed as we contemplate how different our circumstances are as we ride in the comfort of our air-conditioned motorcoach. We will enjoy the commentary of Buddy and the fascinating scenery. In the evening we will arrive in Nauvoo and have dinner together before retiring after a long day.
