Saviour of The World Production

MY LIFE WAS EMPHATICALLY TOUCHED BY
“THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD”!


I have had a wonderful, thrilling ride during the past several months, preparing for the SOTW.
I loved every minute of it…well, almost every minute. I was petrified during the try-outs! Especially when they surprised me and had me sing solo in front of all my competition and viewers…ahhh! But the staff was always so full of love and the spirit. We always felt the spirit so strongly during every part of this process. Many tears were shed from beginning to end. Oh the joy of it. It was so wonderful!
When we began practicing the songs every Saturday morning in the chapel, it was so powerful! Becky was so amazing with her great love and meekness. She made sure we understood and felt the spirit. It filled the room to capacity every time! The Staff always gave opportunity for anyone to share their hearts and testimonies and this added so much to the experience and the spirit and it helped us all bond together and share our hearts and love with one another. It all was so undeniably inspired and orchestrated to make this an unbelievable journey for all of us and to prepare the way for us to invite others to Come unto Christ! I loved every minute of it! My own testimony was strengthened and my soul at times would burst with a deep love for my Savior and all the Stake members involved, especially our dedicated staff.
I was in the fruit picking scene and we were struggling with interacting with each other in the way we needed to, to make it joyful. Again, our director; Tracy Pratt, was inspired and took us aside and asked us to serve one another throughout the rest of our time together preparing for SOTW. She knew this would create a sisterhood of love and it did!We are so close and full of love for each other! The love and sweetness of the other children in the scene was so endearing. There were many acts of service every week. It was so fun and exciting! I loved being a part of that wonderful, fun scene! During the scene where Joseph had just learned that Mary was with child but he was not going to be the Father of the Savior, he was overcome with fear and doubt. I was an angel in the colonnade looking down on his plight. I was full of love and compassion for him but knew that all would be well with him and Mary. I felt myself trying to comfort him in spirit and testify in the truth and divinity of the Savior and the situation. Then I was struck with an eternal perspective! It was so wonderful. I realized that I was experiencing truth beyond the veil. It was made manifest that we; through our trials and sorrows, are being looked down upon by real, loving angels! They are surrounding us through our sorrows, lovingly supporting us and trying to testify that all will be well with us! I loved that experience. I was a witness to the amazing transformation of Brother Rigley who portrayed the Savior. He was different, transformed! We were all drawn to him and he testified that he was drawn to us! We all felt such love for him and a need to touch and embrace him and he did us! When I saw him for the first time; in his white robes, appear to the Apostles after the resurrection, I thought my soul would melt! It was a glorious sight to behold! There was such a hush surrounding me and I wept longing to embrace “Him”, my Savior!
