Dancing for the Prophet

Recently the Atlanta temple was rededicated. And what a joyous thing it was. We were able to go to the open house as a family and most of us were able to go to the actual dedication. AND we were able to participate (or watch) the HUGE production of youth singing and dancing in the Southern Lights Youth Cultural Celebration. I was skeptical that it would all come together-especially after i realized how many youth were actually doing it and how chaotic the first night of rehearsal was- but it for sure came together! It was amazing and made me feel stronger-especially when I saw how many other youth there are who have the same beliefs and standards I do. It was pretty amazing- just being able to be in a district with a newly renovated temple and being able to participate in all the blessings that offers.

Our stake was able to participate in the CHEER and FOOTBALL dances in the celebration (a big part of the SOUTHERN culture:P)
