Last night, Reed and I got tickets to go see the BYU Young Ambassadors. I never really knew what or who they were. Now, I do! There are a group of BYU students that perform musicals. There are singers/dancers and a band, plus the technicians, for a total of 37. After the 90 minutes show, we got to take home a couple of Young Ambassadors so that they could sleep at our house. Host families are a big part of their whole experience too. They hardly ever stay in hotels. They've been performing for 40 years (not the same people, of course) and have been all over the world (including China, Australia, Russia, Europe). They are all very talented, and many have gone on to perform on Broadway or for Holllyood. In fact, one guy was in High School Musical and another girl was in High School Musical III. They ended their show with a reminder of how we are children of God. The room grew quiet for a few seconds after the song, before exploding with aplauses.
We hosted two boys; one was a technician and the other was a band member (above, Daniel). It was nice to have these young people in our home for a short time.

Now that sounds like a date and a bonus! Sending your kids to BYU now?
I'm glad you had a great experience. We've loved them for some time. Janna is thinking she needs to take another run at it and audition. We'll see what happens.
I love the young ambassadors. I wanted to be in it when i was young. actually i have never lost that dream. i guess you have to ACTUALLY AUDITION, though. they never did knock on my door and beg me to join them. i was sorta hoping...
janna should totally try out.
