The Easter Pageant was once again amazing! It is always a great privilege and opportunity to prepare for the Easter season by focusing on the love and sacrifice of our Saviour, by attending the Easter Pageant at the Temple grounds. Steve and I went this year along with Carli, Josh, (her fiance') Haley, Alli, and one of our dear friends Connie Lounsberry. Connie got there early and was able to save us some pretty good seats, next to the sound equipment. This was the first time Josh and the girls had attended. Josh really seemed to enjoy the experience and thought it was "very moving". Haley was totally mesmerized, and Alli, well let's just say Alli loved the reflection pool and all the flowers surrounding the temple with Grammi.
Although Connie is not a member of the Church, she should be, I have always told her that she is a "dry member". Connie has attended the Easter Pageant many times in the past and looks forward to it each year. After the pageant we went into the visitors center and watched the presentation of the Christis. Haley couldn't take her eyes off the Christis and every now and then would look at Steve and I with a grin on her face that went from ear to ear. It is no wonder that the Savior has such love and admiration for these "little ones", with all their sweet innocence, wonder and faith.
