the Utah Valley Childrens Choir

In my previous post, I talked about my little sister being in the Utah Valley Childrens Choir. Here are some pictures of her performing with them a couple months ago :) The pictures are a little fuzzy because I was clear in the back of the tabernacle, but they work.

My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee

This song is among my top favorite songs in the whole world. A little over a week ago, I was struggling through a hard time. My heart ached, and I could not hold back tears from my sorrows. Last Sunday, I had the wonderful opportunity to go to my little sisters choir performance with the Utah Valley Childrens Choir (their pre-tour concert). They sang this song, and I wept. It was just what I needed to hear. With my dads arm around me, I felt completely comforted for the first time in days after hearing this song.

This video is an outstanding and miraculous rendition of the song, and I hope you all will listen carefully to words, and let the message sink in. Gods kindness will NEVER depart from us. Fear not man, for he cannot hurt thee. I testify that God lives, and that the Son, Jesus Christ lives. They love us all so dearly. Hold on your way. I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, the one who provided the infinite Atonement for us that we may always be comforted in our trials, Amen.

It's Only the World

I've been goin down memory lane lately, particularly with Ambassadors my junior year of high school. One of the songs we sang that year was "Only the World" by Mandisa (she was on American Idol a few years back). I absolutely love that song! Our soloist was Sheii Preece (what an amazing vocalist!). I'll admit, there are some days--like today--when I'm alone at the house and I just belt that song out, pretending I was as awesome as Sheii ;) Alas, I am not Sheii, but I still love the song anyway. You can find Sheii soloing (is that a word?) for our group here (on youtube). You can also find more of our numbers if you search Ambassadors 2008 Grand Champions on youtube :)

Encore

Alright, I've got more :) These choir pictures are from the Encore show my senior year. Oh my, it was a blast!!! Again, my Principal (Mr. McKee) was the one to take the pictures. Unfortunately, there aren't pictures from every number, but these are some of the best from what I've got :)

Wohoo!!! Go Encore!!! ;)

An Exciting Discovery!!!

This post contains a plethora of pictures, I know. But, oh!, what an exciting discovery! This past week has mostly consisted of cleaning my room and job searching. The other day, I came across some CD cases, and inside of one was two CD's containing pictures that my Principal from high school took of our choirs :) (How cool is he? Very cool.) So I uploaded all of the pictures onto my computer yesterday, and I was just super excited to post my favorites! So out of the hundreds of pictures, these 30+ pictures are among the best :) Some of you could probably care less, but to me, these pictures bring so many wonderful memories flooding back to mind!

Being a part of the choirs at my high school was a very enlightening experience. I learned so much, and made so many friends that I will keep throughout my life. These pictures are from my senior year of choir. (My favorite year of choir was junior year. I'll see what I can do to get pictures from that year up, because it was phenomenal!)
