Back on the Road in Memphis

After a terrifying drive through a snow-covered St. Louis on Sunday, we finally arrived in our first residency here in Memphis, TN. It was a wonderful cast and a great way to start our winter tour.

Earlier in the week, I was able to attend a session at the LDS temple here in Memphis. It had been two years since the last time I was able to visit and I was excited. It was such a wonderful experience and I can't wait to find another temple close by to go again.

Memphis, TN temple. 

We were at a Catholic school complete with uniforms and daily prayer. It was actually nice to be in a school where I could tell kids that they could pray to receive help from Above.

The show went great and the audience loved it. We received our first ever standing ovation for the first performance. You could tell how loved the children were by the faculty, parents, and volunteers.

Once the show was over, we packed up our set and headed to downtown Memphis to check out Beale St. and hopefully eat at the famous Charlie Vega's Rendezvous. It was our lucky night and we walked in and got a table.

The ribs were delicious. They use a secret combination of dry spices, and I found out that they can ship you their ribs overnight to any state in the US. So…maybe someday in the future I'll have them again.

It was a quick trip to Memphis and now we're gearing up to our next residency in Kentucky.
