Refugees from Burma Performing in “Mormon Speaks,” a Book of Mormon Stage Pageant



What would you do if you appreciated the Book of Mormon, but it was not yet available in your

native language? You would put on a play to share the scriptural message with family and

friends.



Amazing and talented youth and young adults, refugees from Burma, are performing a Book of

Mormon stage pageant, “Mormon Speaks.” The pageant is sponsored by Book of Mormon

Central, in coordination with the Columbus Branch of the South Salt Lake Stake of the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.



These refugees are from the Karen and Karenni tribes of Burma (Myanmar). They began arriving

in Salt Lake City in 2007. Many of those performing in this pageant were children at the time

and have attended Utah schools for several years – learning to speak English.



The Karen people have a legend that speaks of a lost golden book to be restored to their people

in the latter days. Many elders of the Karen refugees believe the Book of Mormon is this lost

golden book, even though the Nephite scripture has not yet been published in their native

language.



The pageant presents exciting, dramatic scenes from the Book of Mormon for all ages and will certainly be an event you worth attending! We encourage all to come and learn more of the Book of Mormon in this rare and incredible event!





The pageant will be performed in English.
