Today I was released from the ward calling I have held since 2003. I was released for a few months in late 2006 and then called again in early 2007, so essentially I have been the ward choir director in the Mountainville 3rd Ward for 7 years. For most of that time I had 2, 3, or 4 other callings in addition to choir, but choir has been a constant. It’s a calling that I really love and I am sad to see it go, but with some current health issues that I am experiencing, it was felt by my Bishop that I need a break. I have worked with so many great people during those years and seen so much growth in my fellow musicians that I feel truly blessed. It’s been an emotional day, but I had visits from two families this afternoon with gifts to tell me how much I had influenced them, so I also feel loved.
It’s all about the LOVE!
