Tonight I squeezed into my Wednesday schedule, a trip to the Rocky Mountain Care Center. The care center is in our stake. Each ward takes turns doing FHE, sacrament meetings, and HFPE for a month. The last time I did the FHE, these two old ladies got in a fight because I told them they should sing along and one of the ladies wasn't. It was scary.
Tonight was the "primary's" night for FHE at the care center. The lady who was going to actually take primary children came down with the flu, so she asked me to go. I said sure. The FHE consisted of me saying the opening prayer and playing the piano for about 20-25 minutes. I took my Reader's Digest Christmas book and just turned the pages.
Only one lady screamed. Some sang along.
After it was over, Brother Smith (the only other non-care center person there) said the closing prayer and then told me I needed to shake hands with all of the people there and tell them Merry Christmas. I did. They told me I did a "bee-u-tiful job" and that the music was "very relaxing."
It's always a good experience to serve others. I'm just glad I didn't cause a fight this time.
Finals update:
3 Down, 3 to go! 2 tomorrow and and internet one due Friday.
Other updates:
**Did you see this . . . . I'm going to be an aunt again! Yippy!! I just wish she hadn't put up pictures of the pee sticks.
** Tomorrow we are going to the Body Worlds Exhibit. I'm a little worried.
** Saturday will be James' first experience with the Huber Family Progressive Party. In the 3 Christmases I have known him, he hasn't made it to one yet. He's worried. I told him not to be.
