My heroine today is a someone that I have watched grow up for the last 6 1/2 years - Leslie Sykes. She is an amazing young woman that is now in her Senior year at the University of Rhode Island. Clyde and I went to her Senior Recital on Saturday (she plays the flute) and she played so beautifully (she also looked beautiful, I might add). Leslie is one of these super shy people that is so capable but likes to be behind the scenes. To see her doing solos with her flute with such confidence was just so amazing and so brave on her part. She did such a wonderful job and really made our day (our week actually). When we applauded and gave her a standing ovation - she was back to Leslie, blushing as red as her dress and embarrassed that we would make a fuss. But if anyone deserved a fuss - Leslie did. Leslie teaches Primary in the Ward and the children love her. She has a strong testimony and is one of those Young Women that makes you proud to have in the Church. She has amazing parents and siblings but today is Leslie's day. Leslie - good luck and may the Lord's blessings continue to be with you.
Things I am thankful for: calendars; a co-teacher for Faith in God for Girls; that Carl is a good finder (and finds Carianne's cellphone); pain relievers and for loving family members.

Leslie is a great choice as a heroine. She is incredible! I loved getting to know her a little when we lived there and I was in YW.
