From Cumorah's Hill

Our stake put on a production of Steven Kapp Perry's From Cumorah's Hill. There were over 250 youth, and our stake center was not big enough, so we rented a local high school's auditorium for the event. We had a Saturday performance, and two performances on Sunday night there were so many people who wanted to come! It was a great experience for most. (Talk to Spencer:))Uncle Jeff and Aunt Shelby came out on Sunday just to see it, and left after the first show. Sr. D got roped into being a prophet. He wasn't too enthusiastic at first, but I think he warmed up during the performance. The prophets were a surprise for most of the youth, and they ended up being the hit of the show. Some kids wanted pictures with them, and I think he even gave out an autograph! He played the prophet Mormon and held a really nice replica of the gold plates. In this shot I got him out-of-era, holding something a little lighter and easier to write on! (Poor Mormon! A computer would have made things much easier to abridge!)

Here is the part of the cast that I came to see! (Unfortunately, I didn't do a full body shot, or you would see Mormon's awsome legs!) Here is Brian, Tommy, Taylor and his friend, Marcus Anderson

It was so nice that our cousins came! And I'm so grateful for the church organization and talented people who are willing to share their talents to bless the lives of my family and particularly my children!!So if these videos uploaded successfully, you can see and hear 20 seconds of it. Emily is wearing glasses and is behind a girl with a black necklace. Taylor is at the top with a tuft of hair and his eyes showing. The second video is a mistake. I didn't mean to put this one in. It is the last line of the show, but it cuts off the very last note. Uggh. And Blogger isn't letting me delete it. (Sorry!) So I'll put in the one I meant to do as the third video. It shows Sr. D coming out on the stage and onto the wings with his gold plates. It's a dark video, sorry. (That is if it is successfully uploaded.)
