Choir

I joined the choir today. My friend is directing the choir at the church I am attending and she was in need of altos, so I agreed. There are about 15 of us and we have many performances coming up, including a Christmas caroling extravaganza. The choir has a couple people from Nigeria, Ecuadorians, Americans, and Canadians. We are quite the diverse group, and the music is even more diverse. We are singing in Russian, in an African language, and in Spanish. Next week we do not have church or choir practice because Ecuador is having its national census. The entire country must stay in their house from 7-5. If you are found outside your house, you are fined. That is one way to get it done! Apparently you also have to offer food to the census people who come. Most of them are students in high school who need to cover a certain neighborhood. We’ll see how that all plays out.
