07/10/2016: This week has been the busiest, craziest week but also the greatest week! Pageant opened and has quickly become my favorite thing I do here. I absolutely love running around "The Village" (what I call the huge backstage area that has literally everything, even a daycare center) getting things done and getting to know those involved with pageant. I am sad to see our first family cast leave (each ensemble group only performs for a week), but I am looking forward to our next cast as well.
Unfortunately, Pageant season always means YPMs getting hurt. :( On opening night of the Nauvoo Pageant, one of our elders broke his foot, so we have been having to change all the dances and do some recasting. Thankfully, Elder Contreras has become weight-bearing very quickly, so he will soon be able to be in some shows (just not dancing) and will not be going home early. :)
There really are not words to describe my experience this week, but it has been beyond amazing!
I came across a verse I would like to share with all of you. 1 Corinthians 9:24 reads, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." While life is not a competition, I love the idea that we should all work hard to do the best we can do and be the best we can be at all times, just as we would give our all when running a race.
