Okay. Starting from the top down.
I finally spoke with a German!! "Sorry, I can't speak english that well. I'm visiting from Germany." My jaw dropped. "Deutschland?! Ich kann deustch!!!!!!" I had a good 5min chat with him about the gospel in German, as he couldn't really speak any english. :) It was amazing, getting to finally speak to a German in my missionary work! (only twice before, with polish people, at the start of my mission) So that was a miracle for me. :)
The choir was amazing. I've made so many friends, and am so excited to serve with and speak with them soon. >:) The choir was angelic, and I hope to get a copy of it for you all to see. :D Just to be clear, the stress is in picking songs and choristers, then preparing the music. I can wave my arms all day long, with no problem. ;)
I sent in this story to one of the APs: "Near the end of the St Giles Cathedral performance, as the choir stood to sing Hark the Herald Angels Sing, I felt impressed to have Elder de Vries sing [his solo, Saviour Redeemer, which he didn't have the words memorized. We had no hymnbooks. His voice could give way any second]. God, are you serious?! I already told them to stand, and announced it to the crowd! Then again:Have him sing. After a bit more arguing, I look up, motion for Elder de Vries to come forward. As I retreated to my seat, I (and probably most of the choir) prayed like mad for him... and it went stunningly!! I am so glad I listened to the promptings of the Holy Ghost throughout this concert - it has been truly amazing."
*sigh* Though hectic, and many executive decisions had to be made, it was magical. Absolutely stunning. :) I'm so glad I had the chance to participate!!
Hope you're all still alive and well! :D
