Preface to Volume II Turn the Hearts of the Children

Brent and Lynae registered for school in Clark County School district after their first summer trip to New Mexico. Lynae continued at Becker Middle School in eighth grade until Christmas break, when their father moved them to Henderson. Brent began his four year study at Rancho Academy of Aerospace and Aviation, the magnet high school in North Las Vegas. To do this he took a city bus "CAT" bus from Summerlin over ten miles to Rancho High School down town. Although the school district provided transportation for magnet school students from their home school, Brent voluntarily attended early morning seminary for forty five minutes before school by catching a CAT bus at 4:30 every day with his friends Emily, Justin and another Brent to attend seminary at 5:45 and then walk a half mile to Rancho high school from the meeting house to attend 7:00 a.m. early bird classes that extended their curriculum to include the magnet classes. After school if there were sports, meetings or other activities, they stayed until four or five, then rode the CAT bus an hour home. Highly motivated students trying to live their religious commitments as well as pursue their goals for the future have earned my admiration.
