         Gina and I played “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” in Sacrament Meeting today.  It’s the arrangement by The Piano Guys—Jon Schmidt and Steven Sharp Nelson.  I was able to get the cello/viola part from the Internet for her and it was so fun to do this together.  When she told me we were going to play today, I asked if it was rushing the season a little and if we should wait until closer to Christmas.  But she didn’t think anyone would really recognize it as a Christmas song and that it would be okay.  So we played it today.

         I also played for Relief Society, for the ward choir, and for the big stake choir that will be singing in Stake Conference in November.  Next week it will be my turn to accompany for Sacrament Meeting.  It makes me happy to be able to contribute by helping with the music.  There are a few sisters here who practice diligently and then take a turn playing for Sacrament Meeting and they are doing well.

         We just went downstairs to take our Sunday evening walk and encountered heavy rain that stopped us in our tracks!  So much for that idea.  The just-in-case umbrella I took would not have kept us very dry, so we’ll have to wait for a rainless day.

         Much love to everyone and Good Night from Honduras--
