My Mom's got chords!

Just had to toot the family horn...
The Stake is putting on an Easter Program called Savior of the World. They had actual auditions and 180 people tried out for singing and speaking parts! Rehearsals start in January and go until Easter when they will perform 5 times.
Mom Stout felt the promptings to try out for the choir and chickened out the first week... and the second week... and the third week... by the fourth week she was in tears by the promptings of the Spirit to try out. After a little pep talk from me with consisted mainly of  "If you just go and try out, Heavenly Father will leave you alone. He can hold out longer than you, so you might as well get it over with. You will be fantastic and even having the courage to get up and audition may be the lesson he wants you to learn."
Anyhow, she went, tried out and... Guess what?! She made it!
We will keep you posted on the progress and if they will let me, I'll try to get a video or a few photos of the performance.
