A short little story. There was someone in a wheel chair
that obviously had some disabilities. Throughout our show, high hopes and river
boats, I would catch glimpses of him turning his head toward the show and
listening to our performance. Elder Camp later told us about this young man. He
was apparently wheeled up against the far wall to start with and Elder Camp
asked if they wanted him in a different spot so he could enjoy the show. They
told him that it did not matter because he was deaf and blind. Elder Camp said
that he would at least be able to feel the spirit, and so he was moved to a
better spot. This young man would turn his head towards the stage every song,
and than after the song he would put his head back where it was before. I would
have never guessed that this child of God was deaf or blind. I know that our
spirits on stage were singing and dancing for his. I know that there is a
special feeling in what we do here and in the gospel that everyone can feel.
Sometimes we are just blinded by what we see that it gets in the way of what is
at the core of every person that has ever or will ever walk the earth. The
spirit of Christ.
