#Familiesareeternal They really are!
One more night.
For more information about the pageant Families are Eternal, please read the previous blog post.
There have been a number of highs through the week. And I truly expect that will continue through tomorrow night. Let me highlight a few.
Tonight had a rough start. It was a technical problem. It was resolved. We started over, and the program went well. My son, his wife, and son were there. A re acquaintance with a wonderful man that served as an AP during my mission. He drove over two hours to come up and watch. Members of my ward were there as well.
As the Joseph Smith scene progressed, and we watched and sang, I felt like it was something that I had watched before, along with the rest of heaven, with great anticipation in the spring of 1820. When he followed through and prayed, we rejoiced, knowing the gospel was going to be restored. Yes, it really did feel like that. It is with wonder and awe that I sing "the Gospel is Restored".
A great pleasure that I have had, for which I am the one being blessed, is to assist a very special choir member. She is blind, and I walk with her on and off the stage. She also sings as part of a duet in "the Gospel is Restored". Her testimony comes out so clear. Truthfully, it really is the highlight of each night to provide this small service.
I hope that those attending can feel the testimony of all singing, as well as the actors in their roles. Families truly are Eternal. We may get mired down in our lives during mortality, but I have complete faith that God's promise to us is secure. All we need to do is do our part.
I am humbled by the effort put in by so many. Alice and Larry Beebe have truly dedicated their lives for the last several weeks putting this together. Coaching the singers and soloists, setting up the recordings, mixing the music and singing together, creating a beautiful sound track. Sister Woden (sp?) has also worked tirelessly directing the overall performance. Their assistants, the technicians, the stage builders, I could go on and on. All volunteering their time, talent, and equipment to make this a wonderful experience.
All I do is show up, and sing. One of many in the choir.
Tickets are still available for what is to be the final show this year tomorrow night. The message is truly as beautiful as I have stated. It is true. All of it. The link for tickets is below.

To pull a line from a song in the old "City of Joseph" pageant:
"As family to family we're linked all together in one glorious, eternal, unending chain"
