really it is fourty years at the pageant

what can you say about twenty years of the pageant???1st of all i guess about all the missionary work as misssionaries, the mission president, and all the roles of my children in the cast, and then i guess the experiences i had with rich congden and the fires and bridge for mary and john and finally all the cooking, selling of hamburglers and making change,,,,one night after the conclusion about 12:23 a man came up to our book of mormon display in our missionary booth with tears in his eyes{what else would be in his eyes????} accompanied by his brother or friend and in German expressed his spiritual feelings>>>i could not understand him at all but his companion indicated that maybe some literature would be appropriate...well all of a sudden a thought struck me about the promise of the Book of Mormon...we had hundreds of copies of the book of mormon{for DISPlAY ONLY] in all languages displayed on several tables in our little room across from the temple grounds...i grabbed a German copy of the book and turned to moroni's promise and he read that promise in his own language and he started to cry even more and mentioned to his friend that he knew that every experience he had had with the the play that day and the book were true without any doubt at all...i ended up giving him a display copy of the german book of mormon to keep and once again he was overwhelmed with the spirit of the holy ghost{ i was arrested however for stealing the book of mormon} no wait a minute that was for dog at large, wasn't it??????june 17-30{only 3 mts} stay at barlow's free, and free play..plan nowLET ME JUST SAY THE LEGISLATION THAT IS GOING FORWARD AT THIS TIME TO PREVENT GIRLS BEING CHARGED WITH MURDER FOR HIRING SOMEONE TO PUNCH THEM IN THE BELLY TO CAUSE ABORTIONS IS JUST SILLY, ACCORDING TO A FEDERAL NEWSCORRESPONANT " YOU MIGHT EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM A STATE THAT WANTS TO GET RID OF THE TWELTH GRADE::::::I AGREE ON BOTH ISSUES, SILLY YES AND GETTING RID OF A GRADE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ALL OF MY 69{ALMOST} YEARS IS JUST CRAZY
