date #3

for this date,
we went caroling!

{kinda}

okay,
i am not a fan of the cold.
adam doesn't seem to mind it and walked home from my house to his in below freezing weather at 2 am the other night {!!!}
bless him.
so, instead,
we went cell phone caroling!

cell phone caroling,
needless to say, yet nevertheless said,
involves a cell phone + singing!

you go through your contacts with your eyes closed,
pick someone
dial them up,
put 'em on speaker,
and sing!

people are generally happy to be receiving a singing phone call.
plus,
this way we can reach people with our awesome singing voices,
that we wouldn't otherwise be able to sing to!

pluuuuus,
the best way to spread christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.

additionally,
music that praises the Lord has its benefits:

"Music has boundless powers for moving families toward greater spirituality and devotion to the gospel. Latter-day Saints should fill their homes with the sound of worthy music."

"Some of the greatest sermons are preached by the singing of hymns. Hymns move us to repentance and good works, build testimony and faith, comfort the weary, console the mourning, and inspire us to endure to the end."

"Hymns can lift our spirits, give us courage, and move us to righteous action. They can fill our souls with heavenly thoughts and bring us a spirit of peace."
{via}

we're not the best singers,
but it is awesome to sing about Christ 
and spread the love through song.
