Go,Go Jonah

The kids had their summer musical performance last night. They did Jonah this year. Last year they did Esther. The kids did an awesome job. Alex actually stood up there the entire time and sang. Everything ran smoothly which I was worried about. At the dress rehersal on Saturday three of my girls who had speaking roles did not know their lines. We only had one mess up last night on lines. I was the drama director by the way. The lady who ran it set it up as a dinner theater so we had an intermission and everything. It was a full scale music with lights and sound and sets and the whole nine yards. I love going to a church where we can do things like this. My mom said that they are lucky if get someone to help the kids sing one song. The kids had so much fun and loved every minute. William actually had a singing solo and a speaking part. He was one of the sailors. Carl worked sets and also had a speaking part. He was the captain. He was hilarious. Who knew my husband could act. Ha Ha. During the storm scene with Jonah being thrown out the boat there was a real storm outside that knocked out of sound system for a second. You should have seen the sound people running around trying to fix everything. All in all it was an awesome night. Everyone had fun and the kids can't wait to see what bible character they are doing next year. Neither can I.

I was thinking about your production this weekend. We would have loved to have been there and sad we had to miss it. Did anyone take video?

We had a pretty awesome night also. We dedicated the OBCA staff for this school year and then the guys on the Mexico mission trip shared their testimonies and showed a slide show of the trip. It ended up being a two hour service but no one complained--you could feel the excitement in the air as everyone shared in how God was moving in the lives of these guys. It was very special (and a lot of funny stories involving Shawn--can you believe it?)
