After having been the Primary President in our ward for two years, about three months ago I was released and put in as the Choir Director. Last Sunday was the first time I conducted for a performance. We have never had more than 10 people at any one choir practice and I was a little concerned about volume since we were singing America the Beautiful. We ended up coaxing a few more people for a total of about 20 to join us on that Sunday and they sounded great!! It was like there were angels singing with us! I know it was not due to anything I had done, but it helped me feel a little more comfortable in this calling. It reminds me of something Elder Neal A. Maxwell once said, "God doesn't begin by asking us about our ability, but about our availability. When we prove our dependability, He will increase our capability." So true! The picture is one I took in the Conference Center when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was doing Music and the Spoken Word right before the 4th of July. Talk about goosebumps!!!
