More YSA Reality

Marshall Sargent and Leti (Hotsauce) Kelepi entertaining us on the church stage.  Just before Christmas these same two characters entertained us slap dancing at the Luau.  Bethany Munoz, Mallory Welling and Nani Toetu'u doing their thing on the stage. 

Bethany and her family live down the street from us in a trailer court.  Mallory is the 8 year old daughter of Richard and Karlyn Welling.  Nani will be with her unit.  They will be deploying to Cuba in September.  They are military police.

Nic Tracy is a recently returned missionary.  He was in the Indiannapolis, Indiana mission.  He spent a week in Utah before coming home to Juneau.  He ran into a gal who had also been on a mission to Indiana.  They spent some time together and before Nic came back to Juneau they were engaged.  They will be getting married in May.  He went down to Utah a couple of weeks ago to spend time with her.  I tease him by accusing him of returning to Utah to get to know his fiancee.

Paula Munoz and A. J. Collins are doing the Macarina.  Paula is the sister of Bethany.  She is 18 and has had a very rough year.  She had some reconstructive surgery done on a foot in the summer.  She is just recovering enough to get out of the trailer and walk around on her own.  She will be having the other foot operated on this coming summer and will again have a lengthy recovery period. 

This is our branch president, David Olsen.

Here is a shot of one of the groups doing their karaoke and dance.  They really had a lot of fun making the clues for the game, hiding them and then monitoring the participants. 

Richard Welling and Justin Brink are really getting into their moment on the stage.  They even had a bit of harmony going with with their doot doots.
