Southern States Tour! Day 3: Roanoke, VA

Day 3 was yet another big day! We hit the road at 9:00 am for Roanoke, VA, and the minute we got there, we had an amazing workshop with youth from the local stake, as well as kids from the local YMCA. The combined workshop was easily the highlight of our day. The kids were very excited to be there, and so much fun to sing and dance with.

After our workshop, we took a trip up to one of the famous landmarks in the area, the Mill Mountain Star! It's the largest man-made star in the entire world! We were surprised to find the local primary children waiting for us, with signs and balloons! They had made us small gifts and we shared donuts and juice with them. We are so lucky! We have felt so welcome here, and it's privileged to have met so many hospitable people on our tour so far.

Our performance was in the Roanoke Civic Center, which was beautiful! Check the Facebook for a picture of it! The show had a great turnout with many special guests such as the Mayor of Roanoke and Representative Goodlatte of Virginia. It was a very energetic crowd!

We are getting to know so many people, and it's tough to have to leave them behind! We are excited to keep on keepin'-on tomorrow, in Charlotte, NC!

Check soon for pictures! I promise, I have some, I just need some better internet!
