Child Prodigy
Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while but that is mostly because I didn't feel like reacharging my camera and uploading pictures. Today, however, I rediscovered the story of child prodigy Akiane. Her parents were atheists, but one night Akiane claimed she had a vision and painted a picture of Christ. Ever since she has tried to create works that will bring people closer to their families, a true knowledge of themselves, and, most importantly, a knowledge of the Savior. Her paintings are often religious or whimsical. Below are a few of my favorites.

Was it the video you saw about her? I remember seeing that my freshman year. Impressive story and paintings, to be sure.
Yeah, it was the video Dad emailed out to all of us! I just remembered it the other day.
That is an amazing story. I would love to meet her some day.

I like your background!
