Today we went to the meetings in our Spanish branch. The brethren asked Zane to help them bless the sacrament. He said he can't remember ever doing that before today... he has done baptisms and confirmations... and today was a first. I thought that was neat to share.
We also started our choir practice for the branch Christmas program. That was fun! We had 4 brothers and about 6 sisters... and we went through and sang all the Christmas hymns. Hopefully in 2 weeks we will have a little more "animo" (excitement) about singing in a choir. Only one sister had heard "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" so we sang that one a few times. I definately think we should use that for the program. I am also going to have the young women and young single adult sisters sing "Mary's Lullaby" and would like to have the young men and single adult men sing also - but we will have to see how they feel about that the next time we meet!
In our gospel principles class we were talking about the signs of the second coming of Christ. There are a few non-members in the class, and that is always neat - to hear the questions they have. As members, we are taught to be prepared for that day. It seems like it is such a part of our lives and who we are, we really don't take the time to truly reflect on what it will take to be ready to meet the Savior. The question that was asked was "How do I know when I am prepared to meet Jesus?" Thought provoking. The answer was "I don't feel I will ever be fully prepared to meet Him".
It was a great opportunity to learn, and to see things from a new perspective.
