Maintenance Mode


The follow blog post is copied from Elder Camp. He and his wife are the directors of the shows.
Right now as I write this the Stage YPM's are performing their 39th performance of High Hopes and Riverboats. This is their first of 2 shows today. Half of this cast has already completed 2 shows of Just Plain Anna Amanda while the other half served as site missionaries. The energy expended here is amazing and Sister Camp and I just try to keep up. I am usually watching the shows and taking notes but we have a sold out house and their is no seat left for me to occupy.



We Love Elder Camp!


The Band YPM's are by no means slackers here in Nauvoo. Elder and Sister Brague are responsible for the band. Elder Brague is the director and he has the Band doing some great things this year. They travel around Nauvoo during the day aboard a horse drawn wagon playing mini concerts as the go at various stops. They are really fun to watch and sound terrific. The Band also plays for Sunset by the Mississippi which is about the only time during the day both Stage and band get to perform together. They do this show along side the Senior missionaries and its really fun to watch.




I have already tested the YPM's with "minor changes". After the first week Sister Camp and I did not like the way the scenes were ordered in the second half of the show. So we changed it. The cast took it in stride and did not miss a beat. I would not of dared do that anywhere else but here. These young people know they can do anything asked of them here. They know they have additional spiritual help and they are not afraid to use it. In doing so they recognize that their talents have been given to them by a loving Father and they are exited to share it. They do it every single day here and they are truly inspiring to watch.

Well must be off...Thanks for all of your support and prayers in our behalf, we need it.
