Stefan makes us abundantly proud of his many endeavors! After being inspired by “So You Think You Can Dance,” Stefan has begun pursuing several genres of dance. He auditioned for the Utah Valley String Sinfonia and was accepted as a second violinist. He has accomplished a great deal of personal growth with violin. Stefan took an exciting summer trip with grandpa to Carlsbad Caverns, Petrified Forrest and the Grand Canyon. Stefan is in the fourth grade, but is in the fifth grade advanced math class. He enjoys time at scouts, creating extraordinary objects out of legos, playing the wii and spending time with his family, dog and friends. We all recognize what a blessing he is to our lives and how enriched we are by him.

Britt wrote “On Sunday, November 8, my Grandma Bernadine Lujan passed away. She had just turned 73. Grandma was always down to earth. She told you what was on her mind, and was always very genuine.
If you looked up the definition of good ol' home cookin' you'd find her name and picture. She had a great sense of humor. Oftentimes we use the phrase "we've lost a love one" but she's not lost, I know exactly where she is, and because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I know I'll get to be with her again.
