Savior of the World

For the past year, our family has been totally immersed in the musical production "Savior of the World." Ryan was asked to direct it and assemble a production staff and debut it for the community and church here. What an undertaking! "Savior of the World" was originally produced for the Salt Lake Olympics in 2002. The purpose was to show the world that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes in Christ and that He is our Savior. The LDS church has since made all of the music, scripts, and material available to congregations everywhere.

So, after so much time, sweat, tears, and inspiration, Ryan, the production team, and cast put on 3 wonderful performances! Hattie was a townsperson in charge of skipping across the stage and an angel and Ryan, in addition to directing, played Thomas the Apostle.

Long before we were married Ryan was very involved in musical theater and even went to college on a musical theater scholarship. After his Freshman year in college however, he took his last bow and never had anything to do with theater from that point forward. That was 16 years ago. This production was a fun way for Ryan to renew and rediscover a past love and talent in his life.





Hattie took her part very seriously. She even wore a microphone and had a line!








This has been a completely overwhelming, yet transforming undertaking. Our testimonies in the Savior have been strengthened and we have had a special spirit in our home while Ryan has spent so much time and energy on the production. It has been a wonderful experience and a great memory.
