Tonight we went to the first performance of The British Pageant - Truth Will Prevail. It tells the inspiring story of people’s search for truth - going back to the reformers days and then stories of British saints who joined the church and came to Nauvoo. It makes you realize that it truly was a marvelous work and wonder to see how from such a very small beginning the gospel spread throughout the world. How could that miracle happen if it wasn’t the truth? The British saints were a prepared people and it’s amazing to learn how quickly they recognized and accepted the truth of the gospel when those early apostles preached to them. The pageant really brings their stories of faith and sacrifice to life. Seems like faith and sacrifice are everywhere in Nauvoo. The ending was so powerful and we got to be part of it! It tells how the truth is still being spread throughout the world by thousands of missionaries. Then all the missionaries in the audience come up to the stage singing Called to Serve. I was so overcome with the thought that I am blessed to be one of that number I could hardly sing. If this mission is my “reward” for our 16 years of temple service then I am more than amply repaid. It’s such a blessing to be part of spreading the truth - (for us to those on the other side of the veil.) I wear my badge with pride and gratitude, and am so happy to add my small contribution to the work of the Lord.
