Little Red Book

Notice that it's not April Fool's day or anything, this is really what I do now in the church gym with a bunch of Relief Society sisters who are all older than me. We are getting pretty good at some of the line dances by now, so that someone jokingly said we should perform somewhere, and the Bishop's wife said she thought we should do a flash mob at the next enrichment meeting. We're learning the dances from a senior sister who goes to Arizona each year, where apparently the senior citizen snowbirds all spend the winter line dancing. I've learned like 12 different dances by now, and if you look them up by name on youtube, they are the exact same as what I've learned. Here's what we rocked today:

Praise to the Man

As Primary chorister, I have been trying to teach the kids "Praise to the Man" since May. Well, it was the song for May, but I was gone for 2 of the weeks in May, and we also had Stake Conference, so for it being the longest, hardest song of the year, it just didn't get the attention it needed. We've been learning the 4th Article of Faith song in June, and that's pretty easy, since it is just the words to the actual 4th Article of Faith. So today, we are going to work on Praise to the Man again, this time with bagpipes! The traditional Scottish tune is Scotland the Brave, which I downloaded and burned to a cd I'll play for the kids today. There is a really nice slideshow about Joseph Smith with this tune that I found too, thanks to other Primary choristers who have impressive blogs.

It's hard to teach sunbeams words like "dispensation" "martyr" and "extol", but I can do hard things.
