The kids have had some cool experiences this past week. I'll start with the most recent and work backwards.
First, Morgan and her friend, Katie, competed in the Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair. They did fantastic and got lots of "loot" to prove it.
They were awarded the U.S. Air Force certificate of achievement for an Outstanding Science Project. They loved this award as it came with "stuff." They got a nice shoulder bag, leather day planner, fancy pen,
USB drive, etc. I teased Morgan about this award since the presenter, Major Hanks, is actually in our Ward. Just to prove "it's not what you know, but who you know."
Then to prove my theory wrong, they won Second Place in Energy & Transportation (Grade 7-12) category. They only give out one 2
nd place in the individual categories, so this was pretty cool. (Unlike the District Fair that gives 40 first places) There were over 900 participants this year.
Way to go girls! Job well done.
Second, our little Jake got to go on a field trip to the new Jack-n-Jill Bowling alley in
Lehi. Joe was able to go as a chaperon and Jake was SO EXCITED. He was counting down the days all week. He had a great time.
Last, but not least, Morgan had dress rehearsal at the Conference Center for the
YW General Broadcast. Joe and I attended the rehearsal and we were so touched by the spirit.
Sister Dalton,
YW General President, spoke and it was amazing. Morgan was blessed to be one of two girls to present lays to the Director, Marilee Webb, and the organist. These are such talented women. The music was beautiful and brought on goose bumps.
Finally, at the final Sunday night practice, Morgan gave hugs to Sister Webb and she said, "Aloha Morgan,"(
Hawaiian heritage). Morgan was so impressed that she knew her name as there were over 300
YW there. Also, Sister Dalton hugged Morgan and said, "your eyes are sparkly," and "I can feel your spirit radiating." How awesome are those leaders?!? This has been such a great experience and I have seen Morgan's testimony growing in leaps and bounds.
The
YW broadcast is this Saturday, the 27
th at 6:00 pm. Morgan is sitting in the middle section, on the second row from bottom, second person in from right aisle (near the organ).

We saw morgan while we were watching from home. Abby saw a few girls she knew from school. Lots of fun! What a memorable experience.
