The World Will Know

Every summer since I can remember, my aunt has run a Music Camp. It has since evolved since I was a little girl to be called Music, Art and Technology (MAT) Camp. It is so much fun. I have such good memories of Music camp and I tell you all of them are good. Because my Aunt runs the camp, a lot of family usually comes. It is so much fun to not only be with our family but her side of the family too (we are related to his side of the family, but we always have a good time with the Blackhams!). I am sooooooo excited because I get to teach at camp this year. If anyone wants more information on this camp, you can go to www.youngmusicians.net. It really is an awesome deal for families because they have classes for all ages and the price isn't bad either!
Anyway, this morning I started humming a familiar tune. I stopped and had to laugh. The song I was humming was a song that I learned at Music Camp. One year Scott and I were in the same Musical Theater class. For the class we sang "The World Will Know." This song is from the musical Newsies. Both Scott and I had solo's in the song. I remember mine to this day. When I did my solo I sang to Scott who was sitting next to me on a stool. I was happy afterwards to know that someone took a picture of us when we were next to each other. It is a really cool picture because Scott looks like he is looking into a mirror. Him and I look almost identical in the picture. I am sad to say though that I have misplaced that picture. But I still love the song and have such good memories of it!
P.S If anyone has a copy or knows where I can find a copy of this picture; please let me know!

3% to the Lord, 90% back

The title of this post might be a little misleading. The Lord always gives a 100% or more back but it is all in the name of my story! Two Saturdays ago I had this great desire to go and help the Payson Singles Ward with their BYU booth. I don't know why I felt so inclined but I really like doing the booth. My only problem is that it takes a lot of time. This same Saturday I was suppose to be taking a math test. But I sacrificed my time and went with Scott and his friend. We asked if we could leave early and the ward said that it was fine to leave. But when we got there, they were short handed. So we stayed the whole time and worked fast and furiously. We spent a total of 5 hours there and because of that I didn't get to take my math test when I wanted to. The Bishop of that ward is amazing! I love him so much! He told me that if I would serve the Lord, the Lord would help me on my math test!
I ended up taking the math test last Monday because of the booth. The only problem was that I wasn't feeling well. I had a really sore throat and my body ached. I missed class to go take the test. I knew I probably wouldn't do that well because I hadn't studied like I had wanted to. But I went on faith in the bishops promise.
Well, yesterday we got our tests back. I did extremely well, better than I think I have done on any test that I have ever taken at BYU! Because I gave 5 hours of my time to serve the Lord, which is 3% of my time for a whole week, I got a 90% on my math test! I pray that the Lord gives me more opportunities to serve!
