Today I found out that my musical was selected as a finalist in the Church’s Cultural Arts Submission! It was so much work to get it all done, it feels good to have something to show for it.
For Relief Society, in a couple of weeks, I get the opportunity to share a few of the songs from my musical and bear my testimony about how great Visiting Teaching is. I’m really excited about it. Three of the songs have never been performed before, and I’ve rounded up several of the sisters from my ward to help me perform it.
There aren’t a lot of sisters that perform or sing very much in our ward, so in trying to find enough sisters willing to participate, I asked every single one of them. Several of them just laughed and said, “ME sing SOLO? You’ve got the wrong girl!!!” Others said, “Sing in a group- maybe, but sing a solo??? I’ve never done that before!!!”
Most of the people I asked had never sung a solo before. I’m excited to give some sisters that chance! I told them, that I didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable doing it- but that if it sounded like something they might enjoy, or might be fun, I’d love for them to have that opportunity. Some of them shyly told me that it did sound fun.
I am excited. Musicals are just FUN! I’ve always loved them. I think they’re all going to love it! — At least I hope they do! =)
