Thank You Bry!

Hopefully you didn't miss the amazing fireside on Sunday. Here are a few photos from the evening. Bryan did a wonderful job discussing light and how it pertains to the scriptures, the temple and prayer. I loved the discussion about symbolism and it gave me a new perspective on how to study the scriptures and the story of the Brother of Jared.

On a bright California Sunday afternoon Briana Walker was driving on the 55 Freeway when she fainted at the wheel of her black Honda Accord, hitting the cement median at seventy-five miles per hour. A young, aspiring dancer, just 23 years old at the time of her accident, Briana was determined to create an amazing life in spite of her new circumstances.

One year after her accident Briana became the first female ever to be featured on the cover of Mobility Management magazine. Shortly thereafter Briana became the Krypto Girl for Colours Wheelchairs. Her images have now been used globally on buses and billboards to change the face of disability.

Briana now enjoys skydiving, surfing, snow skiing, wakeboarding, competing in triathlons, bungee jumping and most of all - dancing.
