Since we are not able to fly out to our field,  I decided spending my free time playing piano. When I was playing piano at chapel yesterday afternoon, chaplain asked me if I could play christmas carols for the service. I said YES!!  So, since then I spent most of the time playing piano.  Only one day, learning 7 christmas carols (most of them were new to me) was challenging enough for me.

I was pretty nervous around dinner time.  I couldn't eat anything, just like right before you talk at LPSC…

Christmas eve service was pretty nice.  Chapel seats got full. My team mates showed up for the service (Thank you guys!!) I played "Claire de lune" and 7 christmas carols.  Whole service was 30 mins or so. I wasn't perfect, but I felt pretty good doing this role.

Now I am just relaxing after my big day!!
