More Music from Elder Gibbons

I know that I didn't mention anything in my last Post about our missionary, Elder Guy Richey - not that he's been forgotten - I guess it's because I actually don't know how much music he's involved with in France right now. He was in charge of a HUGE Christmas program that toured the entire mission with President and Sister Carter during December (teaching ALL the missionaries choir music and he personally entertained everyone at Sister Carter's request) but currently I think he's more focused on preaching the gospel. However, trust me when I say there is music involved with his teaching style somewhere. He CAN'T live without music in his life. In fact his last e-mail to the fam mentioned a certain song the Tab Choir sang at a General Conference in 2008, "Faith in Every Footstep". Obviously music is still a huge part of his life even though he's not jammin with his brothers and his Dad - he will soon enough and his mission will be but a sweet memory.
He writes: "I love that song so much! At the end the choir is at full force and about to sing the final phrase when they sing a breathtaking chord while singing the word "LOVE" (to me, it is ironic, Craig Jessop knows what he is doing because the very moment when they hold this chord and sing "LOVE" is when they sing an extra note... the major 7th ;) "the choir of LOVE".) You need to hear it, it is really moving when they sing love and they are singing the chord of love at the same time."
