More basics

So, some more basic ideas. I think it could be named 'Light my way' or something like that, and talk about how Christ can bring peace to lots of different people all in different stages with different problems. It could center on a family that is doing pretty well in the gospel. I think the mom should struggle with wanting to do what is right but with so many problems, not knowing what she should do first (so many demands on her time, too). She should have a strong testimony and want to help others. One of the kids could be Becky (see previous blog). I think the oldest should be a son who is falling in love and getting ready to get married (adding a love story to the play).
As for other characters, there could be an investigator (maybe a neighbor the family has shared the gospel with) who will have to give up everything if he/she joins the church, and could maybe have a song asking 'can I give all?'
There could be a member struggling with a sin (maybe a good friend of one of the family's kids).
There could be someone struggling with a loss.
There of course should be grandparents!

The similar strand would be that everyone needs the help of the Savior and they will all learn to turn to Him and feel His peace and influence in their lives. I think it would be great to hit on topics like missionary work, service, tolerance, emergency prep, etc.
