Tuesday I had the opportunity to share some of the songs from my “We Are Sisters” musical. This was the first time some of them were performed (since my total rewrite) and It was a wonderful experience. The best part about it was watching several of the sisters in my ward perform. They seemed to have a good time.
My mother also sang. She sang the only solo of the night, and did a wonderful job, helping the spirit to touch every one in the room. I am so grateful for her!
One of the comments afterwards just really made me feel good, she said, “You know I really was expecting a (how do I say this…) “cheesy” presentation…. And after the first couple of songs, I thought well she had to get lucky with a couple of good ones,…. but each song just seemed better than the first! This really needs to be performed in every ward!”
I really didn’t want to write a “cheesy” musical, so I was so glad to hear that. I’m sure I’ll hear more about those kinds of expectations upon hearing about a “Visiting Teaching Musical”. But that’s alright, it might be good to always have people coming in with low expectations!
Another sister told me that afterwards she really did feel a desire to improve how she visit taught. That was the best compliment I could have gotten! What a great night!
