Aloha. My name is Lillie, and I am from Hawaii. Hawaii is a beautiful place with many friendly people. It's where the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Laie temple are. My family is very important to me, and that's why my favorite Primary song is "Families Can Be Together Forever." I like to go net fishing with my dad, bake goodies with my mom, and visit my grandfather [INAUDIBLE]. When we visit him, I get to pick peanuts and see the pigs on his farm. My favorite subjects in school are math and art, though I especially love art. I want to be an artist when I grow up. I was born with cancer in my right eye, so I can't see in that eye. My doctors told me that the disease could make my left eye go blind. So I started learning to read in Braille when I was three years old. Braille is raised dots on a page that you can read with your fingers. Even though I am blind in one eye, I am grateful that I can see with my other eye. I know Heavenly Father protects it. When I was five years old, I finished my second round of medicine. I wanted to thank my doctors and nurses for helping me. I gave them each a copy of the Book of Mormon with my family's testimonies in them. Whenever I read my scriptures, I feel close to the Holy Ghost. My goal is to finish reading the Book of Mormon by the time I am baptized. My name is Lillie, and I am one in a million. [MUSIC PLAYING]
