The Nauvoo Temple

The Saints built a new city called Nauvoo. God told them to build a temple there.

The Saints worked hard to build it. They built it near a big river. They carved suns and stars into the stone.

The Lord said to build a baptism font inside the temple. It was filled with water.

People were baptized for family members who died before they could be baptized.

Because of temples, I can be with my family forever. Someday I can go inside to do temple baptisms.
