My RS moment

I wasn't really a fan of sitting in front in Relief Society (since I'm the RSP).  But I remember my friend Julie, a former RSP, saying that when you sit in front you can see all the women and how nice that was (so I do it).

There is a lovely woman in our ward who joined the church last summer.  She's solid and strong and a dear friend.  She is vision impaired and uses braille scriptures, lesson manuals and hymnbooks.  When we started singing the opening song in Relief Society today I noticed she didn't have her hymnbooks (two large notebooks) so I got them out of the closet for her.  During the closing song I looked over and she was singing and smiling and I was filled with the spirit watching her.  Towards the end of the song she closed the notebook and sang the last few lines:

I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord
Over mountain or plain or sea;
I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;
I'll be what you want me to be.

As soon as the closing prayer was said, I went right over to her as she was putting her hymnbooks in the closet and told her how touched I was watching her sing, especially at the end of the song.  I was crying and bumbling over my words and she reached out and hugged me and said, "I'm so happy."
