We had a missionary musical fireside the 26 and 27 of November. I am posing in front of a display I did. Some of the sister missionaries helped me balance it out.
We pose with Vany and Kim the day before we went to their home. They participated on 26 and 27 November for our member missionary fireside. This was a missionary musical fireside, but a few returned missionaries and future missionaries were also invited. Kim plays the piano and Vany sings. He is also on the District Council and both can translate into English quite well! We had this event two nights in a row. The first night to the North District Center where we had about 100 people in attendance. I was hoping for 50 souls. So we were very pleased. This was kind of my brainstorm and so I was a little jttery about it all. I even decided to play. Everyone was asked to perform a number that tells why you love the Savior. Our whole goal with this music was to testify of Jesus Christ.
One of the missionaries took this impromptu picture. Not too complimentary to my face, that's for sure! This is in the South District Center. Here we had a full chapel and most of the cultural hall. I was for sure shocked to see maybe 350 people there to hear the missionaries, and the few others who were invited to perform. Since this time, one set of missionaries was asked to do a fireside in their branch by the branch president and to perform the numbers they did this night. We had many investigators and some less actives there. The spirit was so strong as we all testified through voice and music of the Savior.
This little woman and her husband come to the 5th branch. We had been there 2 weeks previously and she is a new member and he is an investigator. He is blind. They are just a great couple. She is so loving an patient with her husband and he is sick quite often. I think he has diabetis and that is what took his sight. They came to the South District Center to see and hear the Missionary Musical Fireside.
The Hem (hum) sisters came. They had just lost their Mom to an early and untimely death the week before. We went to the funeral and it was most heartbreaking because they are so close to their Mom. The one in pink is one of our former missionaries. They are both really good young women and contribute to their branch. They were hoping the music would cheer them up and they said it did.

The Chapel clearing out after the performance. It took about 1 1/2 hours, but everyone seemed to enjoy it all. Many lingered after to socialize and feel the spirit.
