A bit out of order, however. Perhaps there is a way to slip this back to the date that it happened (or at least the correct order) but I haven't figure out how to do that yet.
On Wednesday, February 23rd, we were having our typical prayer meeting, back in person this week for the first time since the beginning of the year. Like I mentioned, Jena leads the music and for the past few months, she also selects the hymns that we sing. She does a great job and chooses a wide variety of hymns to sing.
This day she had chosen "Do What Is Right."
Imagine being in a room with 25-30 senior missionaries--except for Jena --ranging in age from 65- 88 or so years old and singing these words:
It started during the second chorus. As I heard the variety of voices singing around me, my heart became full and I began to cry. I was surrounded by women and men who loved their Savior and were serving Him. As a group, they have lost spouses and/or children, faced cancer and other serious illnesses including Covid, they have traveled the world, they have served in the Church and in their communities, they have loved and been loved, and had probably a pretty wide cross section of mortal life's difficulties--yet they can sing:As a group they have chosen to do what is right in the best ways that they can. We are honored to be with them. The spirit of their testimonies as they sung filled by heart and I wept.....
