Brown Sisters Awarded


Cara and Laura Brown, two of Sister Aubrey Van Wagoner’s four beautiful daughters were recognized in Sacrament meeting on Sunday, October 22 – Cara with her Young Womanhood Recognition Award and Laura with her Honor Bee award – by Bishop Mike Bair.

Cara (on the left) graduated in December, 2017 from Dixie High School and is now enrolled in the Culinary Arts program at Dixie Technical College with a life goal to become an executive chef.  To earn her Young Womanhood Recognition award she had to meet all the following requirements, including attending sacrament meeting regularly (where possible); living the standards outlined in For the Strength of Youth; completing the value experiences and value project for each of the eight values; keeping a personal journal; attending seminary; reading the Book of Mormon regularly; and, recording her testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ.

Laura Brown, a sophomore at Dixie High School with a life goal to become a food or macro photographer, or – with her love of history – to become a teacher, earned the Honor Bee charm, historically given to young women willing to do more than was required, after completing the requirements of the Young Womanhood Recognition medallion, which she earned as a Beehive. To earn an Honor Bee charm, Laura read the Book of Mormon again, maintaining her daily habit of scripture study; and, served others for a total of 40 hours, including mentoring other young women with their Personal Progress.

Congratulations to both young women for their accomplishments, to date!  They are certain to go far in life.
