Manti Pageant

On June 19, we took a trip up to Manti, UT to see the Mormon Miracle Pageant. It was a lot of fun. The Pageant was amazing. I had not seen it for a few years and I had forgotten how good it was. The Pageant displayed events in church history as well as scenes from the Book of Mormon. It was interesting to see the scenes acted out on a stage. It helped me picture the Book of Mormon stories better. One of the best parts of the Pageant was the appearance of the resurrected Savior to the Book of Mormon people. The Savior was all dressed in white and the spotlights were directly on him which made him stand out above everything else. It was very beautiful. You could definitely feel the Spirit which reassured me that Christ really did appear to the ancient American people after He had been resurrected. The Pageant was great.
We were going to bring our camp trailer up and stay in it overnight at Fish Lake but last minute we decided to get a hotel room instead. We probably called five hotels before we found one with an open room. Everything was packed because of the Pageant. We stayed in Richfield overnight. The next day, we travelled up to Fish Lake to have a picnic and spend sometime in the cool weather before returning to the heat of St. George. It was a short vacation but well worth it.
