“Until the temple was built in Nauvoo, no building was large enough to accommodate members for Church services. Church members often gathered for meetings in several outdoor groves. Can you imagine the feeling of sitting under the trees, looking into the loving face of the Prophet Joseph Smith and listening to his voice as he imbued his brothers and sisters with the principles of the restored gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?”
