Show Time!!!

After months of preparation, the time has finally come! We've hit the road - show and all :) It is not only a privilege, but a great pleasure to be "on tour" with this group. A bunch of people who love Jesus, volunteering their time and talents to simply give a taste of the Arts, and a message to hope, to all people... 

Our first full performance was Wednesday, June 27th, and since then we've done several full shows, as well as some shorter performances at schools, and a talent show. We were going to hit the streets of Nuneaton (middle of nowhere, England), but the weather prevented us from doing so this weekend - rain, rain rain :( Maybe next time!

At one elementary school in the area, we performed a chunk of our show, and we taught 12 different workshops to all the different grade levels and classes - it was fun! The kids were so cute - learning Bible stories, verses, hula dancing, and Korean drums...

At another school we went to - or "college" as they call it here in England - we happened to be there on the same day they were visited by one of the Olympic Torch bearers! After performing for the school, we were asked to take a photo with Lucy Davies, who carried the Olympic Torch through a part of Leicester, England last week. The Olympics are just around the corner, and the whole nation is talking about it!

It's exciting to be a part of this particular season - this dot on the timeline of history. Performing our show is a blast; although it was a challenge to get this far, and took hard work, it is really fun, now! It doesn't always run perfectly, or smoothly - like when I threw my Spanish fan in the middle of a performance last week :D - but somehow it always pulls together and despite our mistakes, the heart of God shines through strongly!

Time to dance!
