Marva: "Today is a beautiful day. We went to church early (as usual because we do the music, play, and conduct, so we need to get ready). I looked at the program and the stake president had requested a musical number. I didn't expect my name and song to be printed quite so boldly, though. "The branch president talked about faith. he said (paraphrasing), "Do you have faith to believe there is an Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, even though you haven't been to the top of it? Do you believe there are great pyramids even though you haven't touched them? Do you believe there is a great wall in China even though you haven't walked on it?" Then he turned to look at us and said, "I believe the Becks have been there to do that." Actually, we have been blessed to have had the opportunity to do all three of those things.) After his talk I played my number and then the stake president got up and said he was always so soothed by listening to beautiful music, and that he would rather listen than talk. This recording is made on a combination organ/digital piano that is in the building. I figured I would use that to my advantage. I thought about going back and forth but Warren thought that would be a bit much.
