We were in the closing scene with the mobs-definitely thrilling. My now former husband was Samuel the Lamanite Prophet and choreographer. Little did we know what the future would hold, but those memories are still with me of the Savior's second coming...and bearing testimony in the Sacred Grove.Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-46968393518697664122015-07-21T13:15:46.456-04:002015-07-21T13:15:46.456-04:00Thank you!

For most of my growing up years we lived a couple of hours away from Nauvoo and went every summer to see that. I loved The City of Joseph and longed to be a part of it. Since all of our family lived in Utah, we never did participate as cast of the pageant in Nauvoo because we spent my dad's vacation time in Utah. Now I live near Manti, Utah and my children and I have been involved with The Mormon Miracle Pageant for the past 12 years, the last 7 years in the cast. Our Favorite scenes, which run right after the other, is 3rd Nephi, where the day is set aside that the "believers" are to be killed, and right into Christ in America. When my youngest was only 4 years old he said, "Mom, that's Jesus!" with all the joy and faith of a child. I corrected him and said that it was a man portraying Jesus. He looked at me and said, "No, Mom. That is Jesus!" From that moment those scenes have become so real to me and I look so forward to it. This year I got to be one of the people who runs to the Savior to touch his hands and feet and then turn to the multitude with joyful excitement that He was the Savior. The night I got to do it was the evening that the supreme court ruled in favor of homosexual marriage. I was so overcome with emotion in that moment of sharing my testimony with the multitude that our Savior really does live and He will one day return and I want to live my life so that I will be ready for that longed for day. I never want to be found separated from "my people" as you so sweetly put it. Thanks for your example in so many things!! Some summer when you come to Utah, come in mid-late June and join us at the Manti Pageant! <br />You are an amazing mom and I learn great treasures from you!

Glad you had the chance to go!Montserrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056974831892116493noreply@blogger.com
