Why does Arizona get to keep Their Easter Pageants?

 So I'm kindof mad tonight. 

I'll keep it brief and to the point although trust me I could go off the rails with this topic.

With the reopening of the Mesa Arizona temple I wondered if Arizona will resume pageants. I guess I didn't get the memo that they are indeed next year going to resume the Easter pagent.

I mean that's good news! ….For my friends in Arizona. But why do they get to continue their traditions and quite honestly can I say this their CULTURE, if we in Utah cannot!?

Mantis pagent gone!

Clarkson pagent gone!

Hill Chamora gone!

Church's Statement on pagents

Three pagents still remain. One I can understand continuing the other two quite honestly feels like favoritism.

The 3 that remain are The British pageant, The Mesa pageant and the Nauvoo pageant. I would be fine if they hacked all the pagents leaving the Navoo and the hill Chamora. I don't get why Mesa Arizona still gets their Pagent and Utah gets absolutely nothing?

"Larger productions such as pageants are discouraged"??

Lately we've been talking alot about cultures. Mixed cultures accepting other cultures. Why can't we as Latter Day Saints continue our traditions and cultures. We love these pagents as much as those do in Arizona yet. The leadership of the church probably went to several of these pagents with their families but me and my family??

Sometimes I wonder if it's simply to do with growth. Because we the future generation, just missed the good times. Instead we are told to "learn at home" It feels as though God is just Cramming as many people as he can down here on earth. Streets are packed the beautiful hills around me are now littered with houses. Even the grocery store has traffic jams.

I don't get it.

Look I actually have no plans to leave the church.

I will admit this though. I dislike my ward. I actually wrote hate and felt that was too strong of a word. It's growing so rapidly 2 Sundays ago, we ran out of seats. The gym was full! How is that fair to anyone? I mean I look at our Churches and wonder why they were even designed the way they are. We should be having church in an auditorium with how much growth we've been getting or at least have a different design where we sit above the person in front of us. I don't feel welcomed anymore. Lately I have been going for one hour and that's it. I can't stand a packed priesthood meeting or a Sunday school.

I'm done ranting and have work in the morning.

Good night.
