Young Performing Missionaries

This Sister was so awesome. Her and Elder Packer were in Just Plain Anna and Amanda, they did two shows a day just for that.






The Sister on the right played the violin like you wouldn't believe.

Elder Atkin was a special Missionary. He played in the Band and did an awesome job.

All of the Young Performing Missionaries, these included, did 6 shows a day every day except Sunday. They gave 110 % every day singing, dancing, acting. They were wonderful. The video is when they were getting ready to get on the bus to go to St. Louis and then fly home. Notice the tears. You can't see our.

Leah and Ezra leaving

Sorry but this was about a month ago when they left. It was sad to have them leave. We all miss them. Our cast had a dinner at NRI for all of those that were leaving.

sister Ronco made this quilt and put each piece on it. It took a long time but what a treasure she has now.


Sister Walker, Sister Kinikini and Sister Hadley. They are single Sisters, we love them

A whole table of good people. The Holmsteads, Thompsons, Storeys, and McKnights. We love them all.

Abe Lincoln

This is at the Museum in Springfield Illinois. In front of the Capital when he was President.


The Log House he was raised in, he taught himself to read

On the campaign trail when he ran for President he must have used this. We really did enjoy going and seeing and learning all about Abraham Lincoln. What a great man he was.

Surprise, this is Sister Murphy. We served in Ukraine together. I saw her in the spring but I didn't have a camera but she came again with a youth group as one of the leaders. I gave her my long winter coat just before leaving Ukraine and she said she wore it. She said she left it for others and that it would be my legacy. What a special young lady she is.
Sister Hadley, a single Sister after losing her husband. This was her first attempt to bake bread in the Bustle Oven, which is in the back ground. They were perfect!

Child of God

Elder Williams driving the Band Wagon. He had just bought new ribbons for the horses. The Band went through out Nauvoo playing.

I've never seen such big flowers except on Linda's Blog when she was serving in Nauvoo.

I'm not real sure whose hole this is maybe a Raccoon.

This is what the first Nauvoo temple looked like. Lucius Scovil had them made in England.
This video is at Pioneer Pastimes and they played for this girl in the wheelchair. The song is perfect.

Pageant

This is a beautiful statue, I hope we didn't ruin it.

Doug and shannon pulling the hand cart at the fair before the Pageant.

This man played Joseph, he did a fabulous job. So did Emma. Some of our Young Performing Missionaries also have to help with the Pageant. They are on the go all day doing sometimes 6 shows a day.
The vinyet's going down the Trail of Hope. The Pageant was wonderful.

Doug and Family

At the women's garden at the Visitor's Center, look at the statue behind them.

This is a good likeness!
We took the oxen ride and Grandpa talked Savannah and Page to give that ole ox a kiss.

Pioneer Pastimes is a favorite of the kids. Here they are all dressed up. What fun. Below at the oxen ride is Doug and Dad together trying to carry a yolk, it was hard for them.

The Band came at pioneer pastimes and everyone was dressed up and they played and marched along.

VOCAL POINT 2
