Nauvoo Core Cast



I made Nauvoo core cast call-backs! http://www.lds.org/events/info/0,8197,726-1-649,00.html 12 hours of script reading! Very long, very exhausting, very emotionally draining. Lots of crying, lots of spiritual moments, lots of Nauvoo memories. It was very hard to figure out who they were thinking of for each part, even by the end of it, and they let us all go at once (opposed to telling us to leave one at a time like previous years), so I feel like it could go a lot of different ways.

I would still love the opportunity with all my heart, but I realized that almost instead of longing to go back and do the pageant again, I found myself more appreciative of the opportunity I had to already be in it. Lots of people there had never been to Nauvoo, and never seen the pageant, and I felt so priviledged already to have had that incredible pageant experience, though only as a Young Performing Missionary dancer 2 years ago. This experience made me recall how I've already felt it, and loved it, and shouldn't feel like I am missing everything if I don't get to go as a core lead. http://www.meridianmagazine.com/travel/070628nauvoo.html

Get this: we'll find out if we made it "hopefully by March 1st, but likely by mid-April"!
