My Turn on Earth

Tonight was the final performance of "My Turn on Earth" and Ember was invited to participate.  It's a play about who we are, where we come from, and where we're going, told through the eyes of children.  We missed the first two performances because of summer vacations and schedules, and I am so grateful that Ember was able to dance in this final show.  My nephew Michael was also in the play, and he did a great job.

Ember danced to a song called "Heaven", and it's a group of spirits in the pre-existence enjoying their Heavenly Home.  This is before the plan of salvation was presented.  Ember was chosen to be in the group that liked Satan's plan better, which really bothered her at first, but she ended up with a really positive attitude about it.  It's an important part of the story, and the fact that she's here dancing in this show reminds her that she was actually in that group of spirits that chose to follow the Savior.  She was only playing a part, with a body that is a gift from God.  I am so proud of her talent, her attitude, and her testimony.

I got a decent video of her dancing, although she's blocked by Junior for awhile in the middle of the song.  The picture below that is of her standing with Satan's group... she looks proud, powerful.  I think it's an awesome pose, she looks gorgeous.

I have one more video of the final dance, but it's so hard to see Ember in it, it's the entire cast.  I decided to leave it out for now, but I may add it later, who knows.

Good job to everybody who participated, you guys did awesome and I'm so glad I was able to see this show!
