I had the opportunity to sing in the General Relief Society Choir on September 27, 2008. It was a life changing experience for me. I met a lot of neat sisters and had the opportunity almost every week to be taught from members of the General Relief Society Presidency. We also were directed one evening by a former director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. At the meeting it was fun to sit in the Tabernacle Choir seats and read the teleprompters for the talks!
We had practices every Sunday for a couple of months. Our director, Merrilee Webb, taught us how to sing the music, but she really focused on teaching us lessons about life and ourselves. Her main goal, besides having the music sound beautiful, was to prepare, teach, and inspire us so we could deliver the message of Jesus Christ to everyone who would watch throughout the world.
All of these things...combined with many others... added to the impressions I felt during the practices, the rehearsals, and the performances have enhanced my life. I will never be the same!
