We have a great ward with people from all over the world and whenever there is a ward activity, they go all out. This past Saturday was our ward talent show complete with elaborate decorations, a dinner, an activity for the primary children and of course the production.
This is the poster advertising the event.
The primary children decorated small cakes.
This little girl was very pleased with her cake!
You can see Elder Mickelsen in the background as well as the wall covered with shiny décor.
Enjoying soup, bread and dessert
Elder Mickelsen with Cora - our Bishop's daughter. They are admiring the crafts and handwork display.
This is our friend Ronnie from China. She made a book featuring Chinese wisdom and a poster in Chinese characters. She gave the poster to us after the talent show. The message on the poster tells us that: "We need to show respect for those who have gone on before us."
The Talent Show included many numbers. Here are some of the highlights....
A Bolivian dance
A fun song sung by an American opera singer
"Sweet Pea" sung by YSA from the Philippines and America
Our Bishop and his daughter sang a duet
A silly dance - "Grecian Urn"
A glow stick dance performed by the Primary children
The grand finale was a dance by the "Berlin Bear"!
We enjoy our ward and have learned to love so many of the members that we have come to know!
Just an update on the past two weeks: Patty took a nasty fall (two weeks ago) when she tripped on a cobblestone sidewalk. She has a big black eye that is slowly improving each day. I did not want to post the picture that Hal took of me because it is ugly and scary! I now hang on to him and watch where I am walking!!
Oh, Patty! I have had little worry thoughts cross my mind about you lately, and now I know why! Is the black eye your only injury? I tripped over Mindy's Marzipan last December and fell on our bedroom carpeted floor, caught myself with my right arm, and it still aches at night. Our bodies just don't recover like they used to!
ReplyDeleteThe talent show looks very festive - I'm glad you have a ward you are enjoying!
Oh no, I hope you are okay. That is scary. I'm glad to see you blog post so I know you are alive :) The Ward talent show looks like lots of fun. It is interesting how wards all over the world have similar activities.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun talent show! And I'm glad you love your ward, it makes such a difference. I hope you are feeling better and recovering from your fall. Love you guys!
