Our ward choir sang at a local care center yesterday. It is actually a branch in our Stake, so we were there to sing for their Sacrament Meeting. I was so focused on the choir that I forgot that I was supposed to lead the opening hymn as well. When our pianist began playing, I was still going over the choir music in my mind. Then I looked up and saw there was no chorister. I jumped up to conduct, but had not thought to get a hymn book so I turned around and grabbed the closest one I could find. It just happened to be the hymnal the Branch President was holding. He was a bit surprised to have me grab it right out of his hands.
Well, at least the choir sounded wonderful!
