I received this email from Becky Carter and I wish I could have been there to see the performance. I know that I have a note on my arrangement of Called to Serve that says the arrangement is not appropriate for Sacrement meeting, but I suppose if you have Primary kids singing to it in Stake Conference, it might be all right!

Thank you Becky for sharing! If any of you have other fun stories like this, please share them!


Hi Jason,
I just wanted to tell you what I did yesterday. Hope it's OK .......I'm the Stake Primary Music Leader and I was asked to have all the Primary children sing in stake conference. Well it was yesterday. I put together an arrangement that started with your "Called to Serve" accompaniment to the children singing the first verse of that hymn. It then went into "Holding Hands Around the World" and then finished with "Armies of Helaman" and I added parts of your "Called to Serve" at the end and also intertwined the other two songs. It was just the COOLEST thing you have ever heard!! All those little Primary kids standing tall and "rocking out" to "Called to Serve". I was complimented over and over about how wonderful the arrangement was and of course I told them it was all from YOU....and of course the help of Heavenly Father. But it was just amazing. You'll have to hear it sometime.
Thanks for sharing your talent!!
