A friend of mine suggested we have a record of our program.  I think that's a good idea for future reference.

Another performance?

Do you remeber singing for the nurses a couple of years ago. They want us to come back. I really enjoyed singing for them, and I would be ok doing it again, but I wanted to hear what you have to say. It would be on December 2nd at 12:30 in the afternoon, so it would be 2 performances that day.

Larna,

You and I have a conflict for our next practice. November 19th is the date for the Bishopric dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I look forward to this all year. What do you want to do?

Are you up to another?

Hi there you lovely women!

I was just asked by my ward if we could perform for our Enrichment. It would be Tuesday, December 15th. What do you all think? We don't have any performances that week, but it is 10 before Christmas. I would love to do it, since it is my own ward and I wouldn't be singing with you next year. Let me know!

My part for the christmas program.

let me know if it is too long, too short ect.

This year, because of financial dificulties we will not have the Christmas that we are use to having. I know that there are others who are in the same or worse situation. I have been sad, dissapointed and at times angry, because of this, but then I read this from Elder Holland book "Shepherds why this Jubliee? and my perspective has been changed.

You will recal from Dr. Suess's harrowing holiday story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, that this loathsome little man was determined to rob who-ville of every holiday treat. In a nefarious scheme in which the Grinch dressed as Santa himself, he moved through Who-ville taking every package, tree, ornament, and stocking. As he left the city with his sack full of stolen gifts , he chuckled in delight over the pain his actions would cause the people of who-vill. He climbed to the top of a mountain where he anxiously waited to hear the sound of youthful anguish coming form the city below. He even cupped his hand to his ear in eager anticipation

But what he heard instead were the joyful sound of happy people celebrating Christmas. He was chagrined- and amazed. he couldn't imainge it but christmas had arrived in spite of him! Though the people of whoville had no trees to trim, no ornaments to enjoy, no packages to unwrap, they were having a wonderful christmas anyway, it was more than the Grinch could fathom.

And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
" Maybe Christmas," he thought " Doesn't come form a sotre
" maybe christma perhaps
Means a little bit more

President Monsen said.
Giving not getting, brings to full bloom the Christmas spirit. Enemies are forgiven, friends remembered, and God obeyed. The spirit of christmas illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world's busy life and become more interested in people than things. To catch the real meaning of the " Spirit of Christmas," We need only drop the last syllable , and it becomes the " Spirit of Christ.

As we sing these next few numbers we pray that they will help us all remember that Christmas doesn't come from a store, but christmas perhaps is a little bit more.

Hooray for Lunch!

Hi Ladies -

It looks like lunch will be at Tio's Mexican Restaurant this Thursday at 12:30. The Address is 635 West 5300 South. It's sort of in the corner of a strip mall and Catherine says there is a Smith's close by. I'm going to call and see if we can reserve their private room. Pass the word along to anyone who has ever been part of the Singing Ladies.

Here's my cell - 801-721-8945

Can't wait to see you all Thursday!
