Video clips & Pictures that we took of Abby during & after their performance
at Sunset on the Mississippi. The "Rum" song below is an excerpt from the show
that portrays the Nauvoo Women's Temperance Society in 1840's. I have seen this
done for 5 years now, and I have never seen it done better! So fun to see Abby &
other YPM's on stage that we know and love. We also know and Elder Black that we
didn't get a picture with but we served with in Nauvoo in past years.
