Sunday: Stake Conference and the Morgans

E: 
So I joined choir. With only one practice on Thursday, I joined the famous Vienna 4th ward choir in their grand performance today at stake conference. Joseph Smith’s First Prayer in English and then another song in German. I didn’t know exactly what I was singing, but I did get most of the pronunciation. At least I think.
For choir, I went on the adventurous trek to where stake conference was held early. I ran out the door with no spare time and at the same time I forgot my directions. It was almost an hour trip, with one essential transition for one train to another. Now first you need to understand that the subways here are huge. Sometimes multiple levels and many platforms; all of which are perfectly organized with clear German signs. For me it’s a maze.
I remembered my stop and then found a member that was boarding a train, however it was all at the last second that I figured everything out and didn’t get any time to purchase the extra ticket that I need. Guess what? You know that guy on polar express that comes around to punch the tickets... yep there was one of those fellows. I admit I was a bit frightened that he may throw me off the moving train or give me a huge fine or break my arm since I had no ready cash. The Lord must think that I’m a decent singer or something, because not only did I make it the stake conference without directions, the ticket master looked at my student pass and said ok.
Stake conference was good. These Austrian members sure are faithful.
The train ride home was less eventful. I even had the extra ticket that I needed and they didn’t check.
We joined (of course by invitation) a cute little white American family-- Natalie and Keith Morgan with their one year old son Ezra, for dinner tonight. They are super cool. We’re basically good friends. In the words of Master Jordan Pierson, you could say that this was our first date. And if the delicious curry and fantastic ginger cake could be any indication of the relationship's potential, we’re headed into a strong bond for life.
