It’s been a couple of days since we picked up the team from Troy, Michigan.  They’re a great group, and they’re really doing a great job so far.<\/p>\n

Activities so far<\/h3>\n\n\n

They were introduced at the service yesterday morning, and in the evening we went to the plaza for their big concert.<\/p>\n

There are other groups performing at the plaza this week – it’s their big 2nd anniversary celebration (the plaza’s).  Before the team was another group with dancing girls.  A hard act to follow, but the team did great (and were all modestly dressed too).  \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

I’m sure hundreds of people were around to hear the concert.<\/b>  Team members not performing were out handing out flyers for the music classes and the English classes.<\/p>\n

The team did some Christmas carols and other Jesus-focused music in English.  Laura, who will be in concert with her band along with the team on Friday, sang a bit as well.  Luis warmed up the crowd with some comedy in Spanish, and some free give-aways from the plaza.<\/p>\n

As I write<\/b> the team is involved in music classes at the plaza, and English classes at the church building.  There are a few people at each – I have a feeling there will be more as the week goes on.  The English classes are going well – I don’t have a report on the music classes yet.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Accident!<\/h3>\n

Last night<\/b> Rod was driving with some people in his van with a couple of team members and a couple of people from the church.  He was rear ended by a small bus.  Thankfully, no one was hurt beyond a bump or bruise, and the situation was dealt with without too many problems with the bus driver.<\/p>\n

We can’t take our safety for granted – we thank God for His protection – not only last night, but through all the many kilometres that we’ve driven.<\/p>\n

Please do continue to pray for us and the team!<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

On the home front<\/h3>\n

We’re busy getting ready for events with the children this week.<\/b>  Hannah is involved in a Sunday School performance, and we need to buy an outfit for that.  And, of course, both have school Christmas programs this week.  So lots more to come!<\/p>\n

There are a few new photos in the Photo Gallery<\/a> – check them out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
