Savior of the World musical production

The kitchen floor is done. Now we're working on lower cabinets. At least I have my range back and usable again.

Yesterday we had our first rehearsal for the musical production of "Savior of the World" that was written under the direction of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our stake is putting it on this December. We had tried out a few weeks ago. I wasn't holding my breath for getting a part--well, I thought I wasn't anyway. We were supposed to hear who actually was assigned parts by last night, but got no email. We got a clarification email this morning which only confused us because we'd gotten no email. So we figured that either the email went astray, or we were just in the chorus (which would have been all right, too). At church, though, we were told that we will be Elisabeth and Zacharias! So I am very excited! We got home from church to find the email had been resent. Apparently we weren't the only ones who hadn't gotten it.

It's been a difficult week in other ways. Jordan's missionary status is on hold for a little while because his blood pressure is a little high for someone his age. So we need to find out why. There are other reasons this week has been upsetting and challenging, too.

So hearing we had gotten the parts of Elisabeth and Zacharias was a blessing & privilege that made me feel the Lord is mindful of us and gave us parts of individuals whose trials were far greater than anything we've ever known. They also had to wait many years for their prayers to be answered, although they did receive answers to their prayers. They just had to wait a lot longer than most of us.
