At the first of this week, Lindsey and her cheer team performed at the Jazz Game. The cheer squad performed pre-game and the dance team performs at half-time. Lindsey was disappointed that they didn't get to perform at half-time but it all worked out for the best. As they were leaving the floor and entering the tunnel, they happened to run into President Monson who was coming to watch the game. It was a real surprise and treat for the girls to meet him. Lindsey got to shake his hand and talk with him briefly. He mentioned to her that their uniform colors were the same as the University of Utah and he wasn't too sure he liked that. He took time to pose for some pictures and then encouraged everyone to listen to him speak on Sunday.
I found it amusing that the Jazz Dancers were waiting to have pictures with the girls but most of them were more interested in meeting the prophet than the Jazz Dancers. Later, as I thought about the experience, I was grateful that the girls are involved at a studio that really tries to have modest dance and costumes. What a blessing it is to run into the prophet and not be embarassed by dress or presentation. It was an experience that Lindsey will never forget and one that she can remember with fondness.
