Got home too late last night to blog but what a fun evening, a going away party for Jamie and I. Lots of food, drinks, dancing and song. There was a lovely duo singing all night, but we were able to convince Jamie and Padre Jose to sing together and my wish came true. They sang Ave Maria and it brought tears to my eyes, but more tears were shed when the group from the center sang us a song they wrote for us themselves about our visit, our friendships and how much they'll miss us. Soooooo sweet.
That culminated a full day of classes in the morning and rehearsal at the church in the afternoon. We thought everything went fairly well at rehearsal since we discovered that morning that our young class had never done anything like this before. They practiced getting on and off stage, their songs, how to stand straight and trying not to fidget. We'll see tonight. They are all full of energy, excited and so are we. Pray for a successful evening as they've worked so hard for this. I'd like them to be proud of what they've done as they should be.
Like I've said before, it's all in the process.
Stay tuned, the countdown continues........
