Brady's are in Nauvoo





Bob and Mary Brady from ST. George came to Nauvoo and we had a great time with them...The Bradys are our real estate agents in St. George and we have become good friends over the years, so it was great to have them in Nauvoo to see what we do and feel the spirit here.....The other pictures are of Elder Francis running a STUMP remover..It is a big grinder that swings back and forth and up and down so you can wear away at the stump...It is hard work and Sister Francis ran it too....She is a hard worker....Life is still good here in Nauvoo..The weather is very good..Not Hot...
