Every member a missionary...

That's the motto of the church...every member a missionary. My main problem is that I don't like to push my beliefs on people, so I'm pretty quiet about it. I figure I can try to set a good example for people I'm around, especially at work.

Recently, I was able to use my singing talents as a missionary tool. The branch had a musical fireside this past Sunday. I sang a solo song "Only One (Jessa's Song)" from The Ten Virgins. A couple of months ago, I had participated in the Stake Relief Society's presentation of it. I played Malka, one of the foolish virgins, but her song wasn't very appropriate for this particular fireside. I also sang with the choir and I hope I helped plant some seeds of faith, especially in my nephew's heart. He's only 11 and he came up with my mom to hear Jeremy play his violin. Brannen just started taking violin lessons this year so I wanted him to hear an almost professional and see what happens when he applies himself. He liked it and I took him to meet Jeremy when it was over.

But a small part of me can't help but hope that seeds of faith were planted in Brannen's heart too. :) This lass can hope.

Slan go foill...
