Anna and Lisa from Austria

Anna and Lisa came to stay with us for a week while they performed at the Springville Folk Fest.  We are so glad we got to know them!

Temple Square

 Kristen and I took Anna and Lisa to Salt Lake City to see Temple Square.  We listened to a organ performance in the Tabernacle and had a tour of Temple Square by a sister missionary from Germany.  The girls thought this was the highlight of their trip to Utah.  They said it really helped to have a sister who spoke German explain what our church believes.  Dad and I gave them a Book of Mormon in German and wrote our testimonies in the front. Kristen did well explaining things too.  I was so glad she was able to take the day off work and come with me.


Folk Fest

 We recently had two girls from Austria stay with us because they were performing in the Springville Folk Fest.  Here we are waiting for the show to start.

 Savanna and Hallie loved it and danced to the music most of the ngiht.
 Anna and Lisa performed traditional Austrian dances in dresses worn by their mother when she was young.


 Savanna loved the girls and wanted to be with them all the time.  She thought they were princesses.
Here are Savanna and Hallie dancing on the stage after the performances. It was a fun evening.
