Sunday found ourselves at the Hill again. We had sacrament meeting with the whole entire cast and work crew. We got there early to get a good seat. Hunter made these in the car ride. They were actually a lot of fun.
After church we walked around for a little bit. I learned this really cool dice game and ended up winning which was really cool. Then we went to the seating area and talked with Mathieu and his wife and baby Ella. It was fun to see them and the baby. After that I got the backstage tour. I got to see the costume shop where a lot of the cast members get dressed. It was cool to see how well done they were. I also got to go behind/under the stage. I got to see where Sister Steele meets up with Alma every night. It was neat to see all of that. Then I talked to Owen on the phone. It was fun to talk to him. Then we had Thanksgiving dinner, which was really good. Then we had the fireside which was pretty interesting. Despite the rumors that David Archuleta was speaking, he wasn’t the main speaker.
Savannah had been talking about how weird last year’s devotional was really weird and not that good. It was about the Constitution and stuff like that. Well, we were destined for a repeat after we found out the opening hymn was The National Anthem and it was the same speaker as last year. We also had the treat of singing “Oh Canada” as well. That was exciting because Savannah’s dad decided that instead of singing the second verse in English, he decided to sing the first verse in French. He belted it out really loud. It was hysterical. The fireside ended up being about justice and freedom. It was pretty boring actually.
After munch and mingle, we headed back to Bloomfield. At around eleven o’clock we tried to have family prayer. It started with Brother Steele trying to gather all of the kids to the living room. It wasn’t so successful. John then decided to try and slit people’s throats with a knife. After finding out he wasn’t just trying to practice for the pageant, we discovered the John had his tote and chip card which made it okay. Then we had a super huge laugh about the difference in pronunciation between “done” and “dones.” That one lasted for a while. After a good spiritual thought we checked up on someone’s Facebook status to make sure that they were okay. Then after talking about a love of “hoeing” we actually said the prayer. That whole experience really made me want to have siblings. It was cool to see the closeness of that family.
After family prayer we played Mad Gab for a little while and talked and then we went to bed. It was a fun day. Only one more day to write about!
