Narrative:

About 1 hour 30 minutes out; I felt us starting to descend then heard and felt power up the throttle. Minutes later I was called to the cockpit and informed one of our engines had quit working. We would be flying the rest of the way on 1 engine. I got all my emergency preparation information from the captain and then reported to the other flight attendants what our situation was. The captain did declare an emergency so we were met on landing with many emergency vehicles. We decided to let the passengers sleep until about 20 miles out since we were not going to do a planned evacuation. All went very well.
