I was really impressed with the
primary yesterday listening to their sweet voices sounding more like 30
children and not just less than 10. The
amount of awesome volume has impressed visitors as it often sounds like there
are more than there are.
Our pianist teaches a Sunday school
class as well as playing piano, and so she is often late getting in. We chose to sing "I am a Child of God"
a cappella. It was beautiful -
especially when Lily started off on her rendition - not taking away from the
traditional version - but rather adding more beauty to the song.
Emily was a pill about giving her talk
today. After much prompting and a sad
little girl who would not speak, the primary presidency asked the children to
stack their chairs. We still had 40
minutes left. What?
The presidency then brought out
blankets and a false campfire to set up in the middle and had the children set
around the campfire while telling pioneer facts, sharing stories, and singing
pioneer songs that the children (nor I) were familiar with, but sang as though
it were a part of their daily routine. I
was quite impressed.
