Natalie's Ballroom Competition

Natalie had the opportunity to go to Scottsdale with some of the kids from her class and compete at the 2010 People's Choice Awards Ballroom Competition.  She had a great time, and did a GREAT JOB TOO !!  She came home with two 3rd place medals and one first place medal !  There was some good competition, there were kids there from Italy and Japan.

Natalie is becoming quite the performer, she is cool as ice on the stage !! She just plants her smile and moves those hips like there's no tomorrow !!

Here are a few photos of the competition. (click the picture to get to the album)

Wonderful Sunday

Today we had the fortune of attending the Gila Valley Temple dedication. It was broadcast via satellite to all of the Stakes throughout AZ. I had quite a bit of work getting our Stake equipment set up, but it was a beautiful dedication. It is so neat to see the Prophet interact with the members, especially the children.

It was a great to see our brothers and sisters in the Thatcher/ Safford area rejoice as their temple was being dedicated. It was neat to be able to be a part of it and to feel the spirit as the saints on both sides of the veil celebrate the opening of the Temple.

Here is a link to the web page for the Temple, as well as a photo.
