The Hales Family

As you climb up the stairs to the second floor of the auditorium you see these cardboard figures greeting everyone. They are the children of Stephen and Mary Ann Hales - the mother and father who first accepted the gospel in Toronto Canada and were taught by the Pratt brothers and baptized there. It was awesome to have them so life-like. Mary Isabella had a real shawl around her shoulders which made her come to life. All in all, the reunion was very fun and I was able to get a picture of my gr gr grandmother which I had never had before. The auditorium was full which surprised me and I didn't know a soul there. That's okay though, because we were all related in one way or another.
