My Zion

Ladies and Gentlemen,
          It's that time again; Stake Conference!

Living in Fort McMurray, hours away from the Edmonton North Stake Centre, we stream our conferences via the internet. For some reason, our internet has a terrible habbit to drop--& not just once in a while. Our live-feed from the Stake Centre usually cuts out AT LEAST 8 times per conference. Heck, sometimes it doesn't ever come back. It's unfortunate--but that's just how she goes!

So today, during the Sunday session of Stake Conference, we were singing our intermediate hymn-- Redeemer of Israel. Need I tell you what happened? ....our stream cut out...

You see, naturally I would be frustrated at this turn of events, but not today. Today, it was rather a significant moment. The Wood Buffalo Ward of Fort McMurray had a "Who Ville" moment. We did not, despite the unfortunate circumstance, alter our joy & praise. We, as a congregation, became one & pressed forward in song.

This may seems silly to anyone else, but it warmed my heart to know that in my ward--we can be one.
