Last Thursday was Bryan's high school Christmas concert where his accomplishments were honored by giving him a solo in the concert. It was his choir director's last concert at a school he has taught at for 20 years so they estimated that there was close to 500 people there. Bryan chose to sing "The Most Beautiful Story Ever Told" by Sally Deford. Here is what happened.
It was one of the sweetest things I'd ever seen. Bryan didn't get to see it through his teary eyes and I wish I had thought to show it, but the whole audience gave Bryan a standing ovation through some tears of their own. It was a great gift to us all to feel the spirit through Bryan's testimony and love of our Savior Jesus Christ. He has been able to go on and use it as a missionary learning experience as many of his friends and class mates have wanted to know what that was they felt as we watched and heard his song.
We're so thankful to know how infinite the gift of Christmas really is and were honored to have Bryan show it to us.

Dear B,
Merry Christmas! That was glorious. You have such a gift and such a love. It wasn't put in your heart to stay, love isn't love 'til you give it away. Thanks for sharing. Told you before, it's all about where you go from here and what a start on that path, Elder Draper, woo hoo!!!

Thanks for letting me share this wonderful talent with you; I know it will be a huge blessing as you continue in your discovery of life and the glories Heavenly Father has in store for you!! Love forever, and ever, and, ever, and.............
What a gift Bryan has - together with the strength to share it and the sensitivity to let the real meaning shine through!
We Joneses have all had a love of music forever (except when Grayson would purposely sing off key to get out of family performances!!!), and it will be a guide and a blessing to everyone around you throughout your lives! God lives and loves us, and we love Him! Hallelujah! - Dale & Mary Jones
