Seminary Graduation

Gage and Mercedes attend a class at 5:40 am every morning to learn more in depth about the scriptures. It is called seminary and this is Gage's third year and Mercedes' second year. The plaques that they are holding in the picture, along with Miriam (HI!), was earned by doing an extra program called the Passport. This is above and beyond attending class every morning. They have to memorize 25 scriptures and read everyday. This year they studied the New Testament. They also received accolades for 100% attendance. Way to go! We are so proud of you... and Gage will be graduating next year!
With seminary, I have seen their testimonies grow and their love for Heavenly Father blossom. I am so thankful for this program! I also have to thank Rita Bartholomew for taking them every morning in order for me not to have to wake up Roci and Aalyia like I had to the last two years!!!!
