As part of our Christmas Conferences, the Senior Missionaries formed a Bell Choir. President Andersen and his wife have a set of bells that their family has used for years.
.
We played three numbers at the conference on Christmas Morning; “Good King Wenceslas", "Coventry Carol" and "Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel". We actually did a pretty good job! And it was kind of fun! Bells just seem to be an integral part of Christmas.We were surprised at how expensive the bells are. During one of our practice (video above), one of the choir members decided it would be fun to sort of toss his bell in the air and catch it at the end of the number. Both President and Sister Andersen simultaneously lunged for his bell as he did so! They apparently run $100 each and up!

Looks like you guys played about half the song between the two of you! Sounded great! I want to know how he got the bells over there!
Oh such talent!! I don't know what this means, but we taught our first graders to play a Christmas song on the bells a few years ago. Are they as talented as you, or are you as talented as them?
What a bunch of 'ding-a-lings' you are:)!! You did a wonderful job. I agree with Rebecca, you both did most of the dinging!!
Wow! I can't believe you got such a good one! We all sounded great! And my bell even rang! Wow!
