Sister Talented

Sister Talented (my Sarah) made this amazing board that folded out to unveil the most clever primary program practice chart I have ever seen. Signs were posted on the outside of the folded board, darling signs such as waiting room, no cell phones, and Primary Song Hospital. Then when she opened it up there were several beds with doctors charts velcroed to the foot-boards. Each laminated child was placed in the bed when a score on the singing performance rubric left the child, like Chuck "Child's Prayer", feeling sick.

Sister Talented invited a nurse from the ward to give her diagnosis and check the children's ear to make sure they could hear the music while they sang and their mouths to make sure they knew the words correctly. Then she checked their hearts with her stethoscope to listen for the Spirit while they sang. That was my favorite part. And boy, was the Spirit there in those tender voices. The criteria was so sweet and for 40 minutes the junior primary was completely engaged practicing their songs.

Sister Talented really had quite the show and I can't wait until next week when they practice some more and filling their prescriptions (M & M pills) be discharged from their sickie song beds.
