Praise to the Man


Last night the ward celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith with a talent show. Every presentation centered on some aspect of the Prophet and his life. Some of the highlights included: Dick Engar playing a folk/rock tribute (he wrote the lyrics, but the tune is Robbie Robertson's), a play by the Primary (about the early life of the Prophet), a vignette of different stages of Joseph's life by the YM/YW (they really did a ton of memorization), and a multimedia slideshow about the Prophet by Kurt Larsen (unbelievable!).

It was a great evening and we had a good time as a family. Kennedy loved the different plays and she applauded after each one. Even if she spent as much time eating crackers as watching the performances, Kennedy was a lot of fun and everyone in the ward really loves playing with her.
