The Mormon Prom!

Jeffrey was so excited this year to finally be old enough to go to the Mormon Prom. This annual event for high school juniors and seniors is held for nine stakes in the region at the Centreville Stake Center. Jeffrey received his invitation in the mail several weeks ago. Jeffrey and I carpooled with Nikki Reese and her mom. We arrived at the Stake Center around 8:30pm, and many youth were already there. Outside the main entrance there was a huge lighted marquis sign with the theme, "A Night on the Nile", on it. Inside Jeffrey immediately found several of the young men from our ward to socialize with. The decorations were phenomenal, but that wasn't Jeffrey's focus. He found the food table pretty quickly! He danced with two young women from our stake that he knew from youth conferences. He was having such a good time that it was difficult to pull him away even after the closing prayer!
