Dad's MoTab Experience

This past October General Conference, a combined choir from our area got to sing in the Saturday afternoon session. Justin was chosen to be in the choir and he went to many long practices and worked hard practicing at home for the big day. They were very strict... he had to have wardrobe approved, couldn't use gel, had to powder his forehead, and was required to part his hair (we joked about his comb-over, but he looked pretty handsome anyway). They were instructed not to touch their face or cough. During practices they would have a camera person walk around and project people onto the big screen so they'd get used to being recorded. There was even an article in the newspaper about it. Justin looks like a real MoTab member (a young one).

He was so excited for the big performance and said he had a wonderful experience. The best part is that he was able to sing at all! He had had a terrible cough that week and thought he'd be having to mouth the words because singing would instantly bring on a coughing spell. But he sucked on a cough drop between songs and said that he was able to sing as good as he ever. What a blessing!
We loved watching Dad on TV. It made conference really entertaining for us. Justin got lots of screen time and was even on during the entire rest hymn! The boys said, "Dad makes lots of funny faces!" I think he looked great! It was extra special that Justin could wear his late Grandpa Moulton's suit, and the final hymn, "Abide with Me 'Tis Eventide," was sung at his funeral.
