The Start of a Busy Summer

Well, today marks the start of an ever-busy Summer! Rehearsals have started for the play With Mine Own Hand: The Musical Account of Nephi. I am so excited to be part of the play again. It's the account of Nephi and his family as they journey from Jerusalem to the Americas from The Book of Mormon. For more information, visit the WMOH website. This year, we will be performing two sets of performances during the month of August: one in Oregon and one in Utah.

I love the music of the show! Shivers ran up my spine the first two times the music was played tonight. The music sounds amazing and portrays the emotion during the play especially well! There is nothing like watching the scriptures come alive before your eyes! I gained a lot of knowledge last year as I pondered the scriptures and participated in the play last Summer. I am excited to view the play with "new" eyes. I've grown a lot over the last year or so, and I can feel my testimony being polished every day.

I am, by no means, a performer in the show! I am the Director's Secretary. This job will be a little different than it was last year because there will be different demands. So far, I am in charge of noting absences and late arrivals for rehearsals; I distribute promotional items to the cast. Tonight, I was a stand in for where bodies were needed. I even got to play the leading lady for one scene! Of course, I didn't say anything... I only walked from down stage to up stage with Nephi! I think the most accurate description for my job is to serve where I am needed at the moment!

It's going to be a fantastic Summer!
