December 14

I spent the day fixing the choir Christmas program changing the wording and moving songs around.  I can not calculate how long this will last.  I figure five minutes per hymn, three minutes per children's hymn, about ten minutes for the dialog which adds up to 41 minutes, but how long does it take to stand up, sit down, move to the podium, etc.  Bishop Farpapau talked to me today and made certain I understood that we were the whole program and that I needed a whole Sacrament Meeting program.  Gulp!  What happens if we are short?

Attended the Service Center's Christmas Party, the one sponsored by the First Presidency.  The food was excellent.  As usual in Fiji the attendees were the program.  Our table was to sing Away in a Manger.  When we stood to sing it the sister next to me asked me to pitch the song which in Fiji means singing the first measure or two and I could not.  Honestly, how does one forget the tune to Away in a Manger?  We just stood there.  How embarrassing.  I just could not pull the tune out of my tired, over stressed brain.  We are even singing it in our program Sunday.  Finally Scott, yup Scott, got us started.  Bless him.
