I want to thank you, and all those who are responsible, for
bringing that wonderful, inspiring musical presentation to Lacey last
night. It was one of the most reverent, worshipful programs I have
seen, and its testimony of the Book of Mormon was especially powerful.
Every aspect was beautiful; the musical numbers, the narration -- we
could clearly hear every word, and every word was important. The manner
in which the youth conducted themselves spoke of their goodness, both
during the program, and in the homes of the host families, including
mine.
More than just praise these wonderful young folks, I want to thank
them for the effect they had on our Lacey youth, as exemplified by the attached Facebook post, from one of our
16-year-old Laurels. If this young woman expressed it, I am confident
that many more felt the very same way. One of our high councilors expressed the desire to follow
them down to Oregon, just to hear it all again. We didn't have as good a
crowd as we could have wished, but every soul was touched, not least my
own. I love the Book of Mormon with all my heart, and I've never seen
it treated better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
