Saturday, January 28, 2017 – Rehearsal, Design Stage Arrg’s, Debut as
“George & Agatha”
We met with Sis. Lowe
early this morning for our final rehearsal for our parts of “George &
Agatha” before tonight’s performance. The rehearsal went very well and Sis.
Lowe thinks we are ready. Sis. Lowe is always encouraging, positive and
enthusiastic in her directing, teaching and motivation. She’s very good.
Each week Sis. Lowe
prints out a new schedule for all three casts of “Rendezvous.” She often writes
a few lines of wisdom and encouragement. Here is what she wrote in today’s
email to all of us:
Dear Emma Hale Cast!
Watching this mission
perform each night is a clear reminder of how the Lord works miracles through
his missionaries as you stand as witnesses on that stage. Many of you came with fear and trepidation at
the thought of being on stage for not just one show but two! You have worked hard in Rendezvous, and soon
you'll be a bright spot in Sunset! To
see you step up to the plate, hitting home runs night after night, leaves me
shaking my head; for indeed, we are clay in the potter's hands. Deepest thanks!
Christopher Columbus
wisely said, "YOU CAN NEVER CROSS THE OCEAN UNTIL YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO
LOSE SIGHT OF THE SHORE."
You are doing just
that. This mission is definitely a
journey, and as Pres. Monson counseled us, "Find joy in the journey!"
Love and Hugs!
Sister Lowe
Later in the morning we
gathered our supplies, tools, grasses & containers and headed to the
Visitor’s Center. Sis. Andres asked Sis. Johnson to prepare some arrangements
to decorate the stage for Sunday evening’s Sociable (Fireside). Yesterday we
picked an arm load of Pampas grass in preparation and we also picked some pine
to use as filler.
Sunday’s Sociable
(Fireside) is going to be the start of a week’s worth of events that
commemorate the exodus by the first Saints that crossed the frozen Mississippi
River and started their journey west on February 7, 1846.
Tonight was our first
performance as “George and Agatha.” We did it! We survived our debut. We made a
few mistakes and forgot a line or two but they were minor and anyone watching
for the first time wouldn’t have known the difference. All in all we did a very
good job. We perform as “George and Agatha” again on Monday night. We are
looking forward to it. We will get better as we continue to perform. It is
quite likely that we will be “George and Agatha” until we finish our mission in
eight months.
