Today was another one of those exciting days with fun opportunities I have never had before! So, why were Chaille and I making these awesome faces? Because we were scared to death of what we were about to do. Just keep reading.
This is the YMCA tower. At the top are Carillon bells that apparently ring for 300,000 people to hear (of course, I'm sure only a fraction of those people actually hear them and a small fraction of that fraction actually listen). None the less, their ringing melodies reach far places.
Well, today, I got to play them for all to hear! Chaille and I practiced the song twice before the Squires (the missionary couple in charge of the music) graduated us from the practice bells to the real ones. Scary!
This is us after we played- happy because we got through it without messing up! You can see the bells behind us. The strings attach through the ceiling to the bells at the top of the tower. You can see them in the picture below. After we finished, we got to ring in the 12 o'clock hour. It is on my top 10 list of things I have loved doing since I have been here.
WE LOVE YOU! Happy Valentine's Day, Seesee :)
