Young Performing Missionaries

In May we have 50 Young Performing Missionaries (YPMs) show up - split about half and half between singing and dancing YPMs and the Nauvoo Brass Band. The YPMs are chosen from hundreds of applicants and are incredibly talented.  In October we had a mission president's seminar held in Nauvoo and we had the singing and dancing YPMs return for a few days to perform for the mission presidents as well as the community.  We got to cook for them   It was pretty fun.

 Got my cool YPM shirt on...that's really why I'm doing this - so I can get a shirt!

Sister Childers is the one who does the work.  No surprise there to anyone who knows us.
