Youth Cultural Celebration

For the Meridian Temple Dedication all the youth ages 12-18 got to dance or sing in the Youth Cultural Celebration.  The program highlighted Idaho's history, specifically the Treasure Valley.  Our stake was one of the largest groups of youth.  Our dance was a country dance.  Natali and Andrew spent hours practicing with their partners and Mack sang in the choir.

The program was really great.  The kids put in so much time but it was worth it.  They all enjoyed the experience and Natali got to shake President Uchtdorf's hand.  We are so excited to have a temple 15 minutes away from our house.  Natali has been doing baptisms at least twice a month and Mack found over 800 names for baptism this summer so every time they go they do their own family names.  It is so awesome.
