Our dear friends, the Wildes were heading down to Palmyra, New York and asked if we wanted to tag along. We were so happy that our schedules worked out so we could hang out with them, plus we had never been to the Hill Cumorah Pageant before. The pageant was started in 1937 and after its 2020 production it will only live on in our memories as it will come to a close. The pageant tells the story of The Book of Mormon with the highlight being Christ's appearance to the Nephites in the Americas after his Resurrection.
Rain was in the forecast, but the day was gorgeous.
(My friend Sonia took this photo the day after we were there.)
The show waits for the sun to go down, so it doesn't start until 9:15. We had a great time visiting with the Wildes...
...and Jackie's friend, Sheri and her children that were a part of the cast.
We had a lovely surprise- we ran into our friends, the Pattersons that went to our branch in Mumbai!!
Their family was also a part of the cast. (We did get to see Laura and Tyler too, but unfortunately I didn't get a picture of them.)
Noé and Kaleb were so excited to see their friend!
And then we found more friends from India!!
The Patch family was also there to watch the Hill Cumorah pageant! How lucky were we? The Patches were on their way to Germany and the Patterson family were on their way to China. The stars aligned for us to see them on this special night.
Almost as soon as the show started it didn't start raining, it started POURING!!! We were completely drenched! Leonard and I looked at each other and asked if we should leave. At that point were already soaked, so we decided to stick out the 75 minutes and watch the whole show. The show goes on rain or shine, but it does shut down if there's lightning (luckily, there was no lightning!).
We put our camera away, but I found this one from LDS Living magazine. I wish we could go again on a dry day, but that probably won't happen, so I'm glad we got to see it in the rain!
