Lots of Talented Folks=Lots of Fun

We had the mission talent show night before last.  There are a lot of talented folks here!  We had the auditorium in the visitor's center full with missionaries and visitors.  It was a lot of fun!  People did all kinds of different things and it is interesting to see how different people's talents are.  Mom and I sang, I played the guitar and the banjo.  The "Bluegrass Band" played for folks at the beginning in an  introduction to the show.  It is far from a real bluegrass band, but it is really fun to play with these folks.  They do everything from bluegrass to folk to old time to whatever.  The Elders do most of the playing and the sisters do a lot of singing.  It has been a lot of fun to just get together with all of them and play.  It will never win any awards but it is an experience that I will never forget and will cherish just because of the association.  Our cast has been practicing for Sunset and you would love to see Mom and I dancing in the show.  No laughing!  You just have to let yourself go and get into it and it actually can be fun!  The thing about it is that people will come from all over the country and other places to see it, so they deserve to have the best show they can get and above all remember their time in Nauvoo and the feelings they have when they are here.  We want to make sure we add to that enjoyment.  So, dance away!  We're together at the Nauvoo Visitor Center today.  First time we have served together.
