How Did I Play Piano in Church Conference for the First Time?

I'm not a pianist but I was able to play the piano in the Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, La Carlota Philippines Stake for the first time. It took me the courage and sense of responsibility to do it since I got the will power to do it. Besides no one will do the task of doing it. The leaders noticed me that I could play it though not in a professional way.

Our Church leader called me and gave me the assignment as the pianist of our forthcoming annual conference which is to be attended by members coming from Kabankalan, Himamaylan, Binalbagan, Hinigaran, La Carlota, Pulupandan and Bago. I did accept willingly, without any reservation for I know through this I could serve the Lord through music.

During the conference, I got a mixed feeling of nervousness and joy. I did pray secretly from one of the rooms in the Chapel before the conference begins that I may have the courage to play the piano for the 34-member choir of La Carlota Philippines Stake in the semi-annual conference sometime in 1985 for the first time in my life.
