Singing in the choir

Saturday, Sept. 27, was the General Relief Society Meeting of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  The music was furnished by a choir of sisters from the Alpine and Highland areas.  I was fortunate to be allowed to sing in the choir and it was a wonderful experience.  We have been rehearsing on Sunday evenings for the last 6 weeks.  The singing was a small part of the rehearsal time as we were expected to learn the music on our own: what we really learned was to be better people and to strengthen our testimony.  Every week the director said Aloha and gave us a gift, which was to sing a Hawaiian chant that partly says  that “You are the precious adornment worn around the neck of your ancestors.”  What a lovely thought and how wonderful for our self-esteem.

I was on TV several times and if you go to BYU TV and click on LDS Church Broadcasts.  You’ll see a separate file under there for each of the talks and the musical numbers, so you can watch the 3 numbers and see me on TV (or the internet, as it were).  Wow!
