Today was our preparation day. We joined six other temple missionary couples for a guided Martyrdom Trail tour. Craig Dunn led the tour, which included a discussion of some of the events that transpired during the last two weeks of Joseph and Hyrum's lives, and a drive to Carthage and Warsaw. The route we took to Carthage was as near as possible the same road that Joseph and Hyrum followed.

A Nauvoo Temple detail. There is a wall clock just off the lobby that does not work. Sandy and I talked about the need to get it working since it's in the temple. We learned today that the clock does not work for a reason. It is set for 5:16 PM, the time that Joseph and Hyrum were martyred.
