Life-changing experiences can come in unexpected places. When a friend encouraged R. Glenn McMinn and his wife to volunteer for the Nauvoo Pageant, the couple accepted, even though Glenn didn’t think they would have time. However, the McMinns enjoyed the experience so much that they volunteered the next year, and then they were asked to serve as full-time pageant administrators for 24 months.
At the conclusion of that two-year period, Glenn was asked serve in the Nauvoo Pageant presidency with the friend (Nauvoo Pageant president John Ricks) who first invited him and his wife to serve. "[We wanted] to experience the blessings of sharing the gospel through a medium that was new to us,” Glenn said. “We were blessed in so many ways that it was life changing.”
