"Come Unto Jesus"

Our ward choir performed the song "Come Unto Jesus," which we have been practicing for several weeks. I really have enjoyed the spirit of choir and it is all I can do to stop from crying feeling the sweetness of the spirit as we sing. Believe it when I say the words are so much more meaningful with the spirit. I love this new experience with the choir. I guess in the past I was never really into to it...since I felt I was so untalented and inadequate.

It feels good to be in choir now ,and follow the lead of the choir director and let the rest flow. I no longer feel untalented or inadequate. I know there is a voice there, that with some practice can contribute to the choir. It even sounds like my own voice has gotten better and blends with the other choir members.

The choir is now practicing for our next project--a patriotic program and we are singing songs dear to my heart, "America, America," "America, The Beautiful," "Nephi, Seer of Old," "God of Our Fathers," along with a narration that is very well done. I look forward to seeing and hearing that one when we sing it in sacrament meeting the last Sunday in June.

This morning after choir practice, I went to Hank's ward since he invited me as he was speaking on "The Title of Liberty." It was wonderful. I took a lot of notes and appreciated the points. He looks like a natural up there and very well prepared in his public speaking skills. Must be his work and past Toastmaster'e experience. Grandpa Rodriguez would be very pleased and proud.



It was K3 and K4s birthday dinner celebration today. I as able to go visit with them and took Aislyn and Ella. They love it when I take them to visit their cousins. They are great friends and enjoy one another's company. They had so much fun, they wanted to stay longer when it was time to leave. K6, K8, and K9 begged to let them stay longer. But it was getting late and close to bedtime so we called it a day.

My meetings were all uplifting. I love Sundays even if I don't get a nap. I get to sleep in sometimes so that makes up for no nap later in the day. I count my many blessings to be doing what I am doing. It just doesn't seem possible for it to get any better than it is! I look forward to a great week ahead.

I will download some of the pictures soon that I took of Hallows' at Kaitlyn's baptism yesterday, and some from today.
