Today is the day.

The Cokeville Miracle opens in theaters…..hopefully in one near you. If not, call your local theaters and request a showing. Why? It is a story that will tug at your heartstrings and leave an indelible impression.

Based on a true story of one horrible day in the lives of 136 children and 18 adults in Cokeville, Wyoming of a tragedy that “almost happened but didn’t.”

A couple of months ago, T.C. Christensen honored us with a “pre-preview” of the movie in Nauvoo, including a Q&A session afterward with T.C., Kymberly Mellen (Doris Young), and Max Excel (former Nauvoo missionary) who was the actual school principal in Cokeville during the disaster.

Hearing first-hand account from the Excels (who sat behind us during the showing) of what happened that day has left us with a deepened awareness of how much we are watched over by family members who have passed on, that prayers are answered, and good does overcome evil.

Instead of giving a synopsis, here’s a link to the trailer:

…..and a few photos from the Q&A session. Enjoy the show!
