    I had the opportunity and privilege to travel from Uruguay to visit Nauvoo and other historic sites with my wife. I cannot put into words my feelings about this place. My perspective has completely changed after seeing the beautiful city the Pioneers left behind and gaining a much deeper appreciation for their sacrifice. It is a very special place, and the service missionaries make it feel that way, even speaking your own language whenever possible. There is a very special spirit there. It was a short visit, and I hope next time to stay at least two days to enjoy it more.
