Meg's Letter

I received a letter from Meg this week telling me about some eventful activities she had as a result of her job in the museum at the JFS Bldg.  She told of an interview she was able to listen to and shared the following story.  "Tuesday we had Jon Schmidt (one of the Piano Guys) in the gallery to film an interview.  We are going to have the interview playing in a new exhibit we are putting up next February.  He was very nice and it was fun to meet him.  I got to sit during the interview and one of the things he talked about was how he uses prayer when he writes music.  He said that he was inpsired to pray more when he was reading about Minerva Tiechert's life and she said that she prayed before she started each painting and whenever she ran into any kind of problem while she was painting.  Now Jon does that too when he writes music."

She also shared that every year BYU chooses 20 or so different departments and services around campus and has an event to showcase what they do.  Each department chosen has a booth and they give out free things and share information about what they do.  They also have most of the food places around campus there and they give out free food to the employees.  She said that she got lots of stickers and pens from the booths!  Of course her favorite part was the food: brisket burger, fries, cookie, ice cream, homemade root beer, cotton candy, popcorn, coconut cream puff, chicken skewer, more brisket with colesloaw, and a "nohito" (mocktail with lime and mint).  She said the drink was her favorite things she tried!

Meg

While in Utah for Brigham and Kenna's wedding we had a chance to visit the BYU campus and see the museum in the Joseph Fielding Smith building.  Even better is we were given a guided tour of the museum by Meg who has been working there since January.  She was a great guide through the beautiful museum.
