Fine Entertainment

I wanted to take a few minutes to comment about the performance I attended last evening at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.

David Archueleta was guest entertainer and it was a lovely evening and the crowd was wowed by this fine young man. He stood there and sang his heart out. He spoke with such confidence and humility. One of the things he said was that he never dreamed that he would ever be standing in front of the (huge) crowd singing like he did.

He expressed his gratitude for being able to be there. His innocence was so sweet! It looked like he was having a good time and I was so impressed at his ability to sing and the quality of his talent and performance.

He sang a number in Spanish. It was beautiful and the crowd loved it. Our seats were not in the main auditorium. The number of tickets given out was over booked and so many people showed up that they had to use the overflow in the Little Theater to hold the many guest who wanted to see David Archueleta perform!!

Imagine that. There were people everywhere waiting in lines that should have been inside already. Only thing was that too many tickets were given out and people actually showed up!!

We went away filled and glad to have been there. We had two great seats on the upper terrace and second row balcony seats. Th screen was marvelous and we were able to see the concert even better than if we were IN the Conference center.

It was truly a fulfillment of the promise President Gordon B Hinckley gave when he dedicated the center itself. He said it would be "a place of enjoyment and entertainment for the world to come to see and witness." [paraphrased] I felt that to be true. Thanks to President Hinckley for his insight and dedicatory prayer.

Even though it took so long to get seated and to get out of the Church office parking garage, it was worth the wait and inconvenience for what we experienced and enjoyed to see and hear David Archueleta sing!
