For those who haven't heard either directly or throught the grapevine, I have been singing in the Institute choir here in Logan. One of the many awesome opportunities that I have had because of this was last night. I got to sing in the Priesthood choir at the Priesthood session of General Conference! It was quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever done, although the Collective Soul concert comes close. It is an extremely different viewpoint seeing that massive building from the front. It was even awesome enough to negate the two rides to Salt Lake on school buses. We sang three songs, "See the Mighty Priesthood", "Guide Me to Thee", and "For the Strength of the Hills". I haven't been able to stop listening to them since they were up for download, I am currently listening and singing to them at the moment. It just reminds me of being there so much. My personal favorite was "Guide Me to Thee", although I am still kind of bummer we had to speed it up a bit. It is pretty sad that it is over though now. I am ready to do again already. I would post pictures of myself from the broadcast, but I won't due to copyright issues.
Here is a pic of me right before leaving with a crazy glare on my glasses.
(You may be able to tell that we actually had a sunny day in Logan the day before. I went to the USU practice and spent a bit too much time deciding to seek shelter in the tunnel. It was a gorgeous day. We got back from Salt Lake to snow. Stupid weather.)
*Update*
The videos have been uploaded to youtube.

I'm sure my roommates are getting sick of hearing these songs by now.
On a somewhat related note, the Logan Institue Choir will be singing at a CES broadcast from here in the Spectrum on May 1. We will be singing this song at it.
