We got up this morning early and went to the Tabernacle to watch the choir practice and broadcast their "Music and the Spoken Word" program to over 2000 radio and TV stations around the world. We took Everett's sister, Lori, along with us. What a treat to be in the original tabernacle that was built in the 1800s! They have been broadcasting since 1929, every week. We were in the third row middle to see and hear that amazing choir. I love listening to their music on CD, but that could never prepare me for what it was like in person. WOW...very powerful. We also got to see all the things they do to get ready for broadcast, like the teleprompter for the narrators and the extra footage they include with the words. This time the message was about listening. They told a story about a woman who lost her hearing at age 8, but as an adult went on to becoming one of the best percussionist in the world. They showed footage of her playing the drums and explained that though she couldn't hear the sound she could feel it in her entire body. This was an experience I will never forget and to think that people who live in SLC can hear it every Sunday if they choose. I am so glad we got to come here and absorb this spiritual atmosphere. I just wish the rest of my family could be with us...then it would truly be perfect! |
