We went to the Korean Sunday service that was their celebration of Thanksgiving. What a spiritual experience! There were 60 of us total; 28 were choir members—Daniel, their director, is a graduate of conducting in St. Petersburg, Russia, and his wife a graduate of piano there. Twenty-eight choir members singing—super! Sixteen young people got up and played instruments—4 violins, flutes, piano, saxophones, clarinets—how is it that all of these kids are taught music? Some of them play more than one instrument. And of course most of them speak several languages—some of them speak Russian, Korean , Ubekestan, English and are learning Amharic! What a people!
