The Smith family, plus the welcome addition of a family friend Jade, joined 150 other crazy Mormons to be a part of the inaugural British Pageant. It is the epic story of the Christian Saints in the Uk that were converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ in the thousands, and eventually made the migration to Utah to join their fellow saints in America. No rest for the Smiths. Day one was incredibly long with an early morning wake-up, a drive down to Preston, England, and a jam packed orientation day to kick off our 10 day stay here. (not a typo, a whole ten days... yikes, that's a long time.)
The primary kids getting some instruction on their dance for the intro.
Most US pageants are done in the fresh air outside, but since the UK has unpredictable weather, a giant tent has been erected. Jade, Preston and I are waiting for some instruction.
Ryan and I are in a couples dance at the beginning. We rocked the rehearsal, and might ditch our day jobs to become pro dancers.
I can see it in your eyes, you two will be the best pair up there!!
