The event that is going on near our apartment right now is "Jesus the Christ", the Mesa Arizona Easter Pageant that is sponsored, organized, and presented by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We can hear it every night from our apartment. Tonight, we are going to go an be audience members! I'm excited about that. It's an hour long (from 8 PM to just a little after 9 PM). It tells the story of the Savior's mortal life, including His death and resurrection. I have two pictures of the stage (which they build every year and then take down after the performance). The stage is quite large. I took these pictures just before 5 PM yesterday, and you can see that some people were already camped out saving seats. There are chairs set up in the large grass area in front of the temple visitor's center. One of the pictures is of the visitor center with the temple behind it.The other pictures are of our garden...which I REALLY need to completely harvest (except for the celery) and replant, because...have you ever seen broccoli plants flower, and lettuce begin to bud??? Well, now you have, because I took some pictures of just that! I also included a picture of the little orange and yellow flowers that grow just outside our door. They're the kind of flowers that when you water them, they look like they're being tickled because they wiggle back and forth as though they really enjoy being watered.
