*Yesterday night a bishopric member called me up and asked me to do a musical number for Cove Point-- the retirement branch in my stake. So I grabbed some music and went over there this morning. I decided to play "I need Thee Every Hour" cuz it's a powerful song and works with everything. When I got up to play I hadn't had any time to practice so I wasn't nervous(funny how that works) and could actually stick a little of myself into the music. It was nice. Anyway then I sat down and stuffed away my music. When I looked up there were all these old ladies wiping their eyes crying. It was pretty cute and touching. I don't think I've ever made anyone cry like that before. Old people are so neat. They're old but they're just like children--so honest and sincere. Then when the meeting was over they were all so appreciative. Lol one lady came up to me and said,"thank you for playing the piano and thank you for your long hair." They were cute. Anyway I also realized the last time I'd played the piano there was when Christine and I were doing our American Heritage service hours. I should try and make an effort to get out there more often. There's a lot to be learned from old people, not just about them but about yourself as well. G'night.
