Sorry for the Delay

Oh my goodness!

I totally didn't realize that it had been almost a week since I had last posted!

So much has been happening,

And I feel like I haven't had very much free time!

So the past few days we've been seriously focused on our music.

We've just been working on the Disney medly:

Be Our Guest,

Belle,

Arabian Nights,

Kiss the Girl

Part of Your World,

A Whole New World,

Beauty and the Beast,

Fathoms Below,

Under the Sea,

and

Friend Like Me.

It's been pretty intense learning all of this,

but we're getting there.

We've figured out all the choreography to go with the music,

so now it's just down to perfecting the vocals/parts,

and perfecting the dancing.

We also have to create a dance to "Shackles" by Mary, Mary,

which will be very interesting.

And we have to create an interpretation to

"More Beautiful You" by Johnny Diaz.

We also still have to learn all the parts to "Lead Me to the Cross."

And then we have to practice everything all together.

And make sure that it looks good.

This past week we've also just been hanging out

and growing closer to one another as a family.

So that would include swimming at the community pool,

(I already have a nice tan coming along!)

and watching movies.

So it's been fun!

Tomorrow is a big day for us.

We're finally starting out lifeguard ministry,

which means we begin walking the beaches everyday to pass out popsicles.

And we'll also be starting our first Backyard Bible Club of the summer!

Yay!

After those two things, we'll be heading back home to practice some more

and work some more.

But I am so excited that we're finally starting what we're supposed to be doing!

It's going to be incredible!

Anyway, not much else is going on here.

Tonight we'll have our first meal made by our host home.

I'm excited!

And hopefully within the week we'll be going to their restaurant

to try their food that they have there!

I'm really excited to go and try!

Prayer Requests:

-team unity

-Week of Champions is going on this week- this is where Christian professional athletes come to Hilton Head and do free sports clinics where they are able to share the Gospel with kids they encounter. So be praying that God does some incredible things this week.

-beginning the lifeguard ministry- pray for doors to be opened, that we would be bold and open to who God leads us to talk to and share with, and that good relationships would begin to form.

-beginning the Backyard Bible Clubs- pray that we would have kids show up, that we would be flexible and ready to share who God is with the kids, and that we would bond with these kids.

-our performance- that as we continue to practice, that things would fall in to place, and that we would not be practicing in vain. that all the glory for the performances would go to God and that we would follow Him in our choreography.

-me personally- sometimes I feel like I'm not really wanted here, and it's just been a rough couple of days. I am fighting back and making sure that my Armor is firmly in place, but Satan is trying as hard as he can. But God is stronger. He is bigger. He is greater than Satan could ever wish to be. I have put my hope in God, and that's where it's staying. But just pray for strength and endurance and understanding.

Thank you for all who have been praying so far.

All of them are greatly appreciated and we can feel them here.

My team all says hello!

Love to you all!
