Elder Ballard

 Oakley's tour group got the incredible opportunity to travel to Salt Lake and dance as entertainment at a new stake merge.  Elder Ballard was in the stake and we got the chance to hear him speak and then they danced for him and about 1000 other people.  Oakley has had so many incredible opportunities through this tour team and we haven't even gone on tour yet! Soooo cool!!

After they danced they taught the Virginia Reel.  Oakley grabbed a little girl to be her partner.  Hard to see in the picture, but so stinking cute! 

Once everything was over we were helping clean up and a mom and her little daughter came over and asked Oakley and Brooklyn if we all had traveled down from Idaho and then told them that her little girl (about 6 years old I'd guess) was sad because she didn't get to learn the Virginia Reel.  Oakley and Brook hurried and grabbed a few boys and a few other girls and one of the boys ran and grabbed the fiddler and they taught this little 6 year old the Virginia Reel just out on the grass in the dark.  It seriously made this little girls day!! Little things like that make all the difference in the world.  Proud of Oakley and Brooklyn for serving. They are growing and changing so much from these experiences!
