Today was my last time to attend the Music & the Spoken Word rehearsal and broadcast. I wondered if I might be permitted to sit in my preferred spot by the tympanii and the monitor--and I did receive that gift. In addition to being very touching pieces, the songs were mostly percussion heavy, so the tympanii was in use a lot, and as was an instrument played with glass mallets, like a xylaphone, but smaller. I very much enjoyed both the rehearsal and the broadcast.
I talked a while with my oldest daughter after talking with my granddaughter. We are very glad that my Sweetheart has gotten approval for time off in July, so that we can travel to visit them in Virginaia.
My Sweetheart had to stay late at work, which does not work well for Sunday worship. The only good thing is that we got to talk this morning/early afternoon, and we were able to counsel together on some things of importance. I am grateful for his leadership in important matters.
I talked a couple of times today with my youngest daughter. Tomorrow she will arrive in Salt Lake City, very late at night. The friend she will stay with will pick her up, which is a big blessing to me. I no longer do really well with late night trips.
This evening I have worked on some family history, and also getting in a few more phone calls to friends both in Utah and in Missouri. I will talk again with my Sweetheart, and until that time I expect to do a bit more family history.
I find it almost hard to believe that next Sunday I will be back in my own ward. I did get to bear my testimony of the Savior one more time, as our Relief Society meeting was just the bearing of testimonies--I had thought I would like to do that, and was glad that the opportunity was presented.
