Narrative:

We took off with no problems. I was doing my meal service in first class, when I heard something different about the engines. I was on my way to the cockpit to let them know when the captain dinged 3 times. I answered and he told me to come right away to the cockpit. I got there and he told me that one of the engines was stalling, and few mins later the other one was too (engines #1 and #3). So, he told me that he was going to land in memphis, to be prepared for emergency landing, and that I only had 10 mins to pick up cabin meals and prepare ourselves, and that he would give me the signal if an evacuate/evacuation was going to be necessary. I came out of cockpit, talked to the rest of the crew, and we had the cabin ready in less than 10 mins. Then we landed in memphis with no problems.
