Mark’s concert

by 2 Comments

On October 26, we went to see Mark play in a concert at the Covey Center in Provo.  He is a member of the BYU Symphony Orchestra and they played in conjunction with the UVU Symphony and Chamber Orchestras.  They played some arias with special guests Jennifer Babidge and Christopher Holmes, as well as orchestral pieces from Brahms, Janacek, and Delius, ending with the “William Tell Overture” by Rossini.  We took a picture of Mark in the lobby afterward but my cell phone didn’t take as well as I would have liked.  Boo.

Some good news from each of us

Scott: switched our TV service from Comcast to Direct TV so that we have the correct stations to see ALL the BYU football games this year.

Sue: received “Mockingjay, book 3 of the Hunger Games” in the mail today and will be starting to read it tonight.

Mark: after spending all summer talking to various people at BYU, he just found out that he really had been accepted into the Music Dept. in February but some kind of mix-up sent him the denial letter instead of the acceptance letter; he has been stressed and praying and investigating other options since he got home from his mission in May but now he can do what he really wants to do with his life; not only is he now a music major but they’ve also approved the lateral move to a sound recording emphasis because he’s already taken some of those courses.

Brian: after spending almost 6 months in his first area of Escondido, he is being transferred (we won’t find out where until Tuesday); he is being made a senior companion AND a district leader with this transfer.

Tuacahn 2010

We made our annual summer pilgrimage to Broadway in the Desert last weekend and had a great time!  The Tuacahn shows in St. George this year are “Cats” and the regional premiere of “Tarzan, the Musical”.  This was the first time we had seen “Cats” and the dancing was really amazing.  Some of the leads were fantastic.  “Tarzan” was awesome.  They had really stunning aerial work going on in almost every scene, the leads were great and it was really fun.  Great quick vacation.

Here’s a set of pictures from the last transfer in Kyle.  Mark is spending the last part of his mission back in San Antonio in the Heritage District.  He spent 6 months there earlier in his mission.
