Puppet show



Elder Berkley and puppets

We were gratful to the Berkleys for taking an evening their last week as missionaries to go with us to our branch and put on the puppet show they had show several times while in the DR.  They have gone to orphanages and other branches and wards throughout their mission.

Brother and Sister Berkley  are waiting for their turn on stage as Sister  Mead and Sister de Scheinwitz's daughter in law finish their part.  the three ladies rode up with us to help.  Sister de Scheinwitz is the photographer for the group.  She is a temple missionary here from California.



the puppet stage at 6:40

We were scheduled to start and 6:00, but didn't start until 6:30-after going out and rounding up some of the kids. By the time we finished the first show we had a nice sized group, and they were still coming.

The cutest one at the show

                                                  Lots of cute little ones enjoyed the show. 

The audience by the time the second show started

As we ended the first show most of the seats were filled.  Elder Berkley would talk to them for a couple of minutes and tell them about each presentation.

 By the end of the third show every seat in the little church was filled and people were watching through the door and window and it was dark outside.  I think they would have been willing to sit through the three shows again.  It was a great evening.
