First Practice!

We had our first practice last night, and it went very well! There were about 35-40 people total, and lots of laughing and enjoying ourselves, so it was a good time. Of course everyone was overwhelmed by not knowing any of the music really well, except for one song called "Amen" which I think most of the western world would know- and one song that was sung in a movie called "I Love You Lord"- a few people knew that song. But we assured them that there would be MP3's for them to get with their parts on it, and that will definitely help!

I am singing in the Soprano section, because there were fewer Sop's, and my Mom decided to join the choir too! So she's doing Alto of course, so that'll be good for practicing at home! Next week I am going to go to Doug and Jackee's and record the Alto part along with the songs so that the ladies have something to listen to for learning. That suits me just fine, because I like to learn all the parts of songs as we go along anyway, and it will make me available to teach different parts and fill in for Doug now and then.

We had a lot of people- about 6 or so- show up to check us out, so please pray that they come back and want to join us! There were also 2 guys that showed up looking for a Friday Night Bible study (uh, it was Thursday?!) and one of our ladies convinced them to join, and they signed up too after the rehearsal was over, so we were thrilled about all of that!! God works in allllll kiiiiiinnnndddssss of waaaaays!!!

Ok, well I am off to the market. Every Friday there is an open market in the centre of Hoofddorp--- and we happen to live about a half a block away! So we are going to get some fruit and fried fish (YUM!) and maybe some flowers-- to look at, of course :D

Hugs and Love to all :)
