Women at The Well

I just got invited to sing in a local musical production of Women at The Well. It is a great program about the women in the scriptures and their relationship with Christ. I felt really inspired as I prayed that the spirit would be able to communicate Christ's love for his daughters as we sang about these faithful women.

I had a distinct thought pop into my mind that just because we were not there to witness Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, or to reach out and touch the hem of his garment, to see his empty tomb, or to wash and anoint his feet, does not mean that our relationship with him can not be every bit as personal and significant.

I have often felt like having a relationship as personal as Mary and Martha did with the Savior would be impossible for me, but as I listened to the songs and narrative in this program, the spirit bore witness to me that I could indeed have that dear friendship with Him as they did.

I hope to be able to live the kind of life needed to be worthy of that friendship. What an amazing experience this has been. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have received and talents I have been blessed with that enable me to participate in inspired programs such as this. I hope you all have the chance to see it at some point. It is amazing.

Kanab Adventures!

First off, I want to clarify that the last post was Kent's doing. Need I say more?

So we are still looking for a place in Kanab and are still in limbo. We were supposed to move into our new place on September first, but the previous tenants are still there. Hmmmm. So, where are we? We are staying in a cabin at a place called "Hitch N' Post" (and RV park). It is quite the adventure. Is my sarcasm evident yet? Poor Betty doesn't know where we live any more. Of course neither do I. Ha! I just can't wait to be settled. I keep reminding myself that it will be over soon and this will a be a great memory.

The people here are great. I just got invited to sing in the tri-ward Women at the Well musical program. It should be really fun. My solo recital is coming up in only 24 days! Yikes, but I am feeling really good about it now. Luckily the bishop is letting me practice at the church five days a week since my piano is still in Salt Lake. It is a great blessing.

Here are my five month photos outside the "Hitch N' Post" cabin.
