Stake Conference with Elder Grant C. Bennett--June 2018

This month we had a wonderful stake conference with Elder Grant C. Bennett.  We talked a lot about ministering and making the things of God a priority, and how if we do that, other things we do would not compete.  Elder Bennett served his mission Japan.  It was fun to make Japanese food!!

Ovations Summer String Camp

Right after YW camp, Lillie attended the George Mason University summer violin camp.  It is camp of about 80 7th-12th graders.  They audition and are placed in one of two orchestras and are also all paired up in small chamber groups.  It is a very intensive week long string camp.  We were most proud of Lillie an sticking this out.  Especially the quartet.  Her teacher choose a very difficult piece but Lillie practiced as best she could and this was her performance.  Not perfect, very good, considering she has never played in those high registers before.

State Solo Ensemble--Violin

Lillie is doing so well with her violin!!  We are so proud of her!
