We are in New York now and will be for the next to weeks as part of the cast of the Hill Cumorah Pageant, an outdoor theatrical production put on by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This year there is a cast of 760 people! You can go back and read my posts from pageant last year if you want to know more about it :) We got here Friday night and they cast all 760 people in about 3 hours. If you want the run-down, here it is: I am a "spoil of war slave woman" in King Noah's court and a destruction victim, Neil and Tanner are Noah citizens, my Dad is a speaking wicked priest (it's crazy that all 4 of us are in the same scene, but it's a big one), Grant is Laman's third son, and Mom is in the restoration congregation with Joseph Smith as well as the mob that chases Lehi out of Jerusalem. I know that if you aren't familiar with the Book of Mormon that probably makes little to no sense, but nonetheless it's an amazing show!! Some of the coolest parts are the fire and water effects and the over 1,000 costumes used. The days are SO long here and by the end I'm exhausted and usually crabby. Today we had church and lots of meetings and devotionals so by the time we got to the hotel the boys were so squirrely. I will share one good quote from a talk given..."Happiness isn't external; it's a core belief. You wake up in the morning and flip that switch and chose to be happy."
