Dance Festival




So tonight is the big production that the youth have been practicing for....for 7 months!! I was at the Tacoma Dome yesterday all day with them (and all night), and they are AMAZING!! It impressed me how 11 stakes, and 2300 youth can come together and blow us out of the water with all of their work that has been put into these dances!! It is going to be SOOOOOOOO good to watch them all in costume tonight. I can't believe all the work some of these people have gone too!! With sewing costumes, their time...it's going to be awesome!! They have one performance tonight and 2 tommorrow. We had a mini youth conference yesterday, and Elaine Dalton the Gereral Young Womens President was there to speak to us, with Brad Wilcox and Kenneth Cope. I loved them all!!
While the youth were practicing...we had a chance to hang around Sister Dalton and visit with her and her husband for a while. She is so genuine and such a classy lady!! She made my day...just her sweetness and love for the young women is wonderful to see!!
Poor Shaylin was getting over a horrible stomach bug that has spread through our Family and alot of others...so she felt horrible. But she hung in there. Luckily she is feeling much better today, just a little shaky...darn it! I might have to sneak over to the dome today and get some more photo's!
