Happy Fourth of July

Greetings from dear old Nauvoo.
It was as usual a wild and hectic week and this one proves to be no different. The YPM's haave for the last week and half spent 45 minutes in the morning learning the dance routines they will need to know for the Nauvoo Pageant. Tonight is final dress and they will add another show during their already packed day. After Sunset by the Mississippi is over at 8:00pm they will take 10 minutes to change wardrobe and then report to the Pageant site to visit with the guests for the 20 minutes before showtime at 8:30.They then dance int two of the larger production numbers and leave for home around 9:30pm to go to bed.
Meanwhile the band leaves early from Sunset to play over at the pageant for about 20 minutes after which open the show with the National anthem and then head home for the night at at around 8:45pm.

 I can't begin to tell you how much I love this place and how much I enjoy and LOVE these young missionaries. They are amazing and teach me so much. They I am sure "old friends", brothers and sisters that S/Camp and I associated with in the pre-mortal life. Their spirits are so familiar to us.


The 4th here in Navoo is like any other day here with shows and band concerts as normal. Just a few more people in town in fact all the tickets for every show are gone. Full houses=good times for all.

I hope you all have a great holiday and know that the Camp's are well and very very tired.(but it is a good tired!)
Life is grand, the church is true and we love this little town called Nauvoo.
