Church in a Tent!

What a difference a day makes!  Today was loads better then yesterday: 1 part: a change in schedule as it's Sunday, 9 parts: a change in my attitude.  We are simply part of something that is going to be epic, and epic adventures always begin with unsurmountable odds and struggles.  Church in a tent was rad.  Having my eldest son pass the sacrament was also rad.  A little more free time today also made for a happier Smith family.  My favorite bit so far?  The singing.  Because a showy crowd is gathered together, when it comes time to sing a hymn, no one is shy.  We belt out every song with the energy of... Annie Joy Smith.  She really has loads of energy.  Things are coming along. After sacrament meeting, the little kids were whisked away and the rest of the cast practiced the music for the pageant.  Tonight we had a wonderful fireside, highlighting the pivotal role that the British Saints in helping the church go from Hunted by mobs to thriving in the Salt Lake Valley.  Epic.  We get to be part of something epic.
