CTM choir

we have American and Brazilians lead the choir. This week the Elder on the right lead the choir he is Brazilian and even though he speaks English very well he had the other American elder help with the pronunciation of the American words. We usually sing in both languages.
We had 100 missionaries singing inthe choir tonight. We only have 10 Sister missionaries right now, six are Americans. Usually we have more Brazilian Sisters but right now we are at an all-time low since we have been here. We alway have the sisters sit on the front row so they can be heard a little better I try to encouage the directors to have the missionaries sing in parts. Hear we have the Tenors standing up and practicing their part. This tenor was in the wrong place so we had him move over to the left
We have been blessed to have two professional violin players. This is Elder Lew in the forground. Elder Lohner left two weeks ago and Elder Lew will leave in three weeks. I need to start praying for another violin player. We fortunately have had an advanced piano player come every week for the last six weeks in a row. I have been told that the time might come when we may not have a piano player and I will be playing for the choir. I take some time every Sunday to practice the hymns and play the prelude music for Relief Society.

You know when you get back your ward will want for the choir director. Keep up the great work.

That choir assignment is quite a deal. You seem to have figured out how to handle it well.

It was good to see you singing with the choir Jerry.

Abraços e beijos.
