The Mormon Trail Center and Winter Quarters Temple

Yesterday We decided to go visit the Visiter Center in Florence, Ne. Its about a 20 min drive from our home. The big reason we went was because they have an exhibit right now of Liz Lemons paintings of the life of Christ. They are so beautiful. One of the paintings of Christ was life size. There were a couple of paintings that both R and I would like to have in our home someday. After viewing those paintings we watched a 10 min movie called, "God's Plan." R said he had recently watched it with the missionaries and said it was good. When I heard the title of the movie I braced myself because I had watched that movie a thousand times on my mission and it was outdated and super cheesy. To my pleasant surprise the Church had remade the movie and it was fantastic! They tied in The Proclamation to the World: The Family in the movie very nicely. Im so grateful for the movies that the Church makes and that we can use them to teach not only investigators and new convert but for our own families. After a fun time at the VC we walked around the temple. It was the first time i had smelled flowers in what seemed like years. It was simply gorgeous and I didnt really want to leave the grounds.
