For a few weeks I did not get any calls for acting and I felt deprived. I needed my spiritual high that I got every time I went... and luckily more came on September 21st. This is what I received:
Following is an
outline of our Shooting Schedule as it currently stands. MOST of the

dark, longer hair that at least covers part of their ears. Girls must
have dark hair at least to their shoulders. *The days marked in RED are the
days we will most likely have enough roles for everyone who would like to

probably not be enough roles for everyone. Once you express your

Day 5 -- MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 2011
JESUS’ TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO
JERUSALEM
On Friday September 23rd
I got an email booking me for September 26th (The Triumphal
Entry). C also received an email. On Sunday morning I woke up to an
email that asked for G and CR to come filming on Monday also. That only
left S out. But I emailed them and asked if it was possible for her to
come also and they said YES. So it was a Family trip to Goshen (minus KC
and K, they would have loved to be there).
Our call time was 8:30am so that was
not bad. We just had to leave by 6:30am. We did have to eat
breakfast because they told that breakfast would be done by the time we got
there. We were running late (as usual). We didn’t leave until close
to 7:00am. Then after I got on the freeway I asked the older girls if
they had their temple recommends and Sidney did not. So I called Casey
and he met us half way to give it to us. We were now even more
delayed. We were doing o.k (speeding just a little). When we were
about half an hour away from the set location, we were driving on this small
country road; we saw a car go off to the side and dirt fly up in the air.
The car got back on the road so I assumed that everything was fine. I was
passing the car when I realized that the car had two flat tires and it was a
young lady driving. We pulled over in front of her and I went to see if
she was ok.
The lady happened to be driving to
Goshen. She went off the road and over corrected but her tires
punctured. I told her that we were going in that direction and offered
her a ride. She parked her car on the side of the road and came with
us. She was so grateful that we happened to be right behind her and that
we could give her a ride. We had just been blessed with another experience
that just showed me how Heavenly Father is in control of our lives. If we
had not been running late we would have missed her and who knows if anyone else
would bring her to Goshen because we had one of the latest call times.
She kept calling us her guardian angels. That was a great experience
before we even got to the set!
When we got to the set we went to
wardrobe, hair and makeup. This was different for me because it wasn’t
just me I had to watch out for the children, mainly Gracie. They got us
all dark and dirty and then we were ready to go on set. When we got to
the set most people were already in place but they took us to the front where
Jesus would be coming through. Little Gracie looked so cute and there was
a photographer from the church taking all kinds of pictures of her. They
gave the kids some palm frams to hold and put down before Jesus came in riding
the donkey. I think the donkey was Gracie’s favorite part.
As Jesus came in we were just
supposed to be happy to see him. I would pick up Gracie so that she could
see him better and he usually acknowledged her. Then we followed him as
he walked down the street. How amazing to have this experience with my
children. Nothing could be better to help strengthen all of our
testimonies.
We had lunch and then we went back
on set to film the same scene but from a different angle. It was so nice
that we were not out in the sun because that made it so much easier.
Gracie loved playing in the dirt in between each take.
We got released at about
4:00pm. We drove our friend back to her car and we got home at about
6:00pm. We even picked up pizza for dinner.
A picture of me and the 4 children as Jesus Christ's followers in Jerusalem. That is us now and it would have been us 2000 years ago.
This picture was published by the church in a news article about the background of the production. I'm glad I can post this because it's the real thing. CR is standing next to G.
