a part of my life that i will never give away for anything.

so. today is too awesome to even fit into a blogpost. its THAT awesome.
do away with this whole week. im happy living like today already.

we had stake conference yesterday and today. yesterday was the ysa/sa and adult session. today was the general session. and today is so awesome. reached church at 0830hours to practice the piece with ying er and shuan. theyre playing the violin and grand piano respectively, and im on the flute. SO. ying er arrived at 0900hours i think, but by that time i was already in the choir practicing the songs. ying er and shuan and i went to the adjacent RS room some time later to practice our piece together. went back to the chapel, tuned ying er's violin, then went to the primary room to tune mine.

guess what? embouchure problem. either flat or sharp. then after all that, ying er said that i begin either sharp/flat, then a bit after that my tone goes in tune lol. i decided that i had a super horrible embouchure >< anyway. we decided to leave things as they were and get ready for conference.

throughout, i was so content to be singing in the choir. i loved the sunday session. it was so amazing. you could feel so much of the Spirit throughout the whole session. its just amazing. but anyway. its too precious of an experience for me to explain it here.

then came the part where ying er and i to play. i was sooooooo nervous. as the time was getting nearer, i would feel my heart pumping like siao. anyway. i expected to play after marie ellis' testimony sharing, but after that we had the 2 new outgoing mission presidents from our stake give their talk/testimony. then one more talk after that i think.

well, it eventually came to my turn. sorry but i wont be going through the details here. i feel that its not the right place to share the details, but i'll give some insights nonetheless.

ying er and i went up, shuan went up. he started playing the piano, and how glad i was to practice so much at home. it turned out pretty well. for the first segment, my knees were shaking. it wasnt too violent since i have had tonnes of practice in greeting large crowds over the years. but it was shaking nonetheless since i was still nervous, and its my first time playing alongside somebody like ying er, and first time playing the flute in front of a crowd, one such as a stake conference.

practices helped, deep breathes helped a lot, confidence too. but most of all, the thing that helped me the most is prayer.

and i shall leave it at that.
reflecting on this experience, there is no need for physical evidence to prove that there is a God. because i know that there is one, ever looking down on all of us, showering us with His love.

such profoundness within such simplicity. 
i am so blessed.
