This morning I was thinking about the experiences I have had in Nauvoo, Illinois (for those of you who don’t know, and who know about that area, it’s about 20 minutes North of Keokuk, IA, right on the river, just across from Montrose and the Galland School State Park Preserve. It’s a beautiful place.
I have been able to be in the Nauvoo Pageant (a Pageant my church puts on in the summer in Nauvoo), 4 different years. This last year I was on the tech crew and I was just thinking about that.
You know, there really is a special spirit there. It’s really amazing. As I was reflecting on my experiences there, I could just feel and remember what it was like to be in Nauvoo. It was as though I was back for a few seconds. I’d just like to recommend the place to everyone. If you live near there, go on! Take a Saturday and just check it out. If you don’t live nearby and you’re interested, I submit that it’s absolutely worth the airfare or the gas or whatever the cost is for the mode of transportation you will take. It’s an amazing place to be, and if you can apply for and be in the pageant, well, you will have an amazing experience. I did. To be there and participate in the pageant gave me a feeling of self-worth or perhaps just of significance. Even if you can just watch the pageant, I would recommend that you go. And even if you CAN'T watch the pageant, there are tons of historical sites to look at. Lots of things to know about the people who lived there. In any case, it’s amazing. But I don't think I can really describe how it feels to be there.
You’ll just have to check it out for yourself. :)
