John Schmidt: A Sabbath Surprise

This past Sabbath was such a treat for all of us students here in the JC. Each week there is at least one if not multiple tour groups visiting the Jerusalem Center for our church service as well as to see the beautiful center. This week we had the special treat of having John Schmidt in the tour group that visited on Sunday. John decided that he wanted to perform for any that wanted to attend that night up at the Augusta  Victoria Church. First of all, this church is absolutely beautiful! Second of all, the piano was a dusty upright piano (funny... I bet he has never performed on such a simple piano). But lastly, he still amazed everyone. His talent on the piano is striking. There was such a spirit as almost 80 students, faculty and families, and his tour group (so a bunch of Mormons) sat in this church and listened as he played beautiful music! Overall, such a treat. It amazes me how we can travel half way across the world and still run into people that are members of this church. One thing I have come to learn is that no matter where we go in life, the church will be there. I love that!
