Call to Choir

When Sadie was 15, the bishop called her to be the ward choir director. "At first," said Sadie, "I was really excited. Then I realized it was a big calling, and it would be a lot of work. But it's been great. I've had a lot of support from people who sing in the choir and even from people that don't sing. They will ask how they can help."

Sadie has sung in choirs since she was seven, but she had never tried to direct one. Now she is clapping out the beats and teaching parts to the choir. "We're not going to be the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but we really try to focus on the words and the spirit of the song. If we miss a few notes, that's fine, but if we have the Spirit with us, it's a lot nicer."
