Hablar por Telefono

Last night at Girls of Grace, our bible lesson was about Eve and how she sinned by disobeying God. We also talked with the girls about the punishment that Adam and Eve received.  During music Mr. Boehr had me working the over-head thing, but then as he was singing, he voice cracked and he started coughing. So, he unclipped his mic and clipped it to my shirt, handing me the little receiver thing. He asked me if I would sing instead of him because he was sick. He also said that it would be more beneficial for the kids to hear the songs in the octave that they would be singing them. Little did he know, I was sick as well. My voice cracked a couple of times, but other than that, it went fine. (Speaking of my voice... I had Girls Choir solo song auditions on Saturday. I did terrible. My voice cracked when I tried to sing the high Eb, which is a note that I usually reach with ease, and I sang the third verse of my song in place of the second verse which caused Jayne, my lovely accompanist, to get completely lost. Despite my terrible audition, Teresa is still letting me sing my solo song at our spring concert as well as when we go on tour in June.) Our "Pleasant Home" lesson in Girls of Grace was about telephone manners. I remember learning about this when I was in Girls of Grace, but I think it's funny how I don't ever use such proper telephone etiquette. From now on, I am going to answer the phone like I was taught in Girls of Grace. For a cell phone "Hello, this is Ms. Annastazia Stofer speaking."  For a land-line "Hello, Stofer residence, this is Ms. Annastazia Stofer speaking." I answered like that when Kara called me today. We both laughed and laughed because we remember thinking our leaders where crazy when they said we should answer like that.

P.S. Hablar por telefono is Spanish for "to talk on the phone". See, I'm actually learning something in Spanish class!
