Al Rounds was a guest speaker at a special night with the teenage girls I serve. He has a way that is captivating to tell the girls of his belief in God, the gospel being restored and the truth of their divine worth. He showed them while doing a painting that within each of them is a masterpiece. How the choices they make are the little brush strokes on canvas. How God sees the finished product and we need to rely on his expanded vision. He spoke of

not comparing yourself and of being more self assured. He did it all with humor and on their level. I had never seen someone do a water color right before my eyes! WOW! It was an art, what talent. It was also a lift to be with these wonderful girls and hear their love for their Savior and see the hope they have in the future. One of the girl sang another bore her witness of Christ. I am blessed to have the calling I do and be with theses people and have these testimony building events.

I love Al Rounds. I was friends with his daughter Ashlee in high school and would go over to hang and watch him paint at his house. He is a great artist and amazing man
