The Beginning of the "Lasts" 7/30/11

Hello everyone!


Tonight was our very last concert for the 2011 trip.

The Andy Calope Band played two shows-one last night and one tonight. Both shows had a decent turn out...it seemed the more the music played the more people would come. I really enjoyed their music-they're the first "Josh Garrels"-esque band we've had. <3 The youth from Freedom in Christ joined us tonight which was way fun. Amber and I had the opportunity to hang out with the girls and shoot some hoops after the guys had a full on game. :) It is awesome to connect with our fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord who live across the world.


Today we also finished up some building projects in the morning-the shelves outside the radio room and the guard shack lean-to's. Yay! We had to get creative with putting the last of the shelves in...they go up to the ceiling which wouldn't be a big deal except we had to work around or should I say over the staircase. haha. We all put our brains together to make it a safe project.

Tomorrow will be our last service at FIC-I believe we're all eating together, we're bringing spaghetti and Lando and Evelyn are going to intoduce us to some Coconut. Way excited. Then we are going to split up for youth group-- Tom and Becky, Nick and Amber and Jones will head to Jane's home church while the Jason, Rachel, Brandon and myself will stay at FIC.

With that said I am going to head to bed now. Thanks for your prayers-please continue as we'll definitely need them in this last week with wrapping up teaching and shutting down. We're praying for all of you as well.

They covered three songs all in one song at the end. Pretty talented.

I just LOVED the picture of Tom and Lando! Were they approximately equal on the stage, or was Lando behind Tom? Too funny!

I'm praying for you guys that you finish well and for strength to finish what you've started! Can't wait to see you all again soon!

I'm sure Bestemor will have stories at the Sherman family reunion. Hope we'll get to hear stories in person.. What a great group. Love, Aunt Georgeann
