There is another YW in the stake that also misses church activites because she is part of a select ballet troupe. She is often used as an example of dedication to develop one's talents. I mentioned that we don't usually get to choose our gifts and often to develop these gifts we have to make difficult choices that require sacrifice. I also mention the positive aspects of playing a sport at a high level or being part of such a select group in that YW learn leadership, dedication, teamwork, learn from example, and often make close friends. The YW leaders seemed to "get it" and are trying to help where ever they can. At least we didn't get the "wayward path" line. There is a stake softball tournement coming up. My daughter won't be able to play in it because of a her own tournament conflict but she will be insturcting the rest of the YW in an upcoming activity on softball fundamentals: hitting, throwing, fielding, baserunning, etc.
