The Youth Symphony is preparing for their next concert. This is a photo of one of their rehearsals. Gibson is in the middle of the photo.
Helen is traveling to Portland later this week for the state DECA tournament. To pay for the trip, her advisor gave all of the students an entrepreneurial challenge. He gave them $20 as an initial investment and they needed to use that money to earn the rest of the fee for state, plus pay him back his $20. Helen decided to sell handpainted Valentine cookies. She created a flyer and texted it to friends to get orders. The first 5 people she texted ordered 8 dozen cookies so she stopped collecting orders, knowing it would be a big task to complete all the cookies. Helen spent the weekend baking, frosting and decorating the cookies.
Helen individually handpainted each cookie. She used gel food coloring mixed with almond extract as paint. She used brand new paintbrushes since someone will eat the cookies, maybe. They might be too pretty to eat, although Brandan, Becky and Gibson verified that the cookies taste very good.
Here are a dozen cookies boxed up to deliver. They look exquisite! Between the cookies she sold and the ones she made to experiment with, Helen painted over 100 cookies.
The next two photos are from Abe's mission facebook page. He and his companion, Elder Sutton, baptized Son Juwon this week. Son Juwon met missionaries online who referred him to Abe and his last companion, Elder Randall, to teach.
We are happy for Brother Son and happy that Abe's mission shared these photos so quickly!
