The Primary Program

I am just so happy that the Primary program went well and that it's over! The Primary President's husband, David Bennedict said, "If you don't believe in miracles, you just need to go to a Primary program practice and then the actual performance and you will believe." Yes, our practices were pretty scary! One neat thing was that when Geno came down from the stand afterwards and went to see my Dad, he said, "Grandma was here today. She was standing right behind you." As my Dad said, this is definitely someting that she would want to come to. In the hospital, before she died, she said that she wouldn't miss out on anything. Primary Programs were her favorites, and with her own grandchildren performing in it, I could definitely imagine her being there today. It took a child, her own grandchild, to see her. (One that she's never met in real life, seeing as how she died 2 weeks before he was born. And he was the first grandchild.) But it all went well today, after some pretty interesting moments in the last 2 days. The kids really stepped up and sang their little hearts out, Brigham Welch accompanied on the viola beautifully, and almost all of the kids had their parts memorized. The families that sang "Called to Serve" in the 6 different mission languages did a great job. Everyone was pretty emotional during that part. Many said that they teared up. I am just glad that it all came together. Yeah, it's over. I've already started looking at next year's songs.........
