Pretoria, South Africa--the seat of government

Part of our responsibility as Public Affairs was to help host the VIP Receptions that were held before the Young Ambassador's Performance.  The Stakes would invite city and government leaders so that we could develop friendships.  Next to Lon is Brother Vusi Mavimbela (our dear friend Thoba's brother) and a member of the government farm initiative, and Elder Bricknell an area seventy.

The Reception in full swing.  The beautiful girl in yellow is Alexis Flake, a cousin of Lina Hatch and
one of the entertainers with Young Ambassadors.  The YA's were so out-going and friendly.  They were a real asset at the Receptions and after each show they went into the audience to shake hands, sign autographs, and take pictures.

Here they are performing with the SABC Choir at the Pretoria Theater.
