The fun started at 6.30am when the songsters met in a zombie like state for breakfast. Following this we boarded the coach to set off for Raleigh, North Carolina . After a 6hr coach journey, which most of the songsters caught up on some much needed sleep, we arrived at the Good Hope Baptist Church.
As we were an hour early arriving, Perry ( our lovely coach driver) took us to a nearby shopping mall where some of the songsters picked up some bargains!!
We returned to the church and began to set up in preparation for the evening concert. Following this came yet MORE food, MORE puddings and MORE drink. Something the songsters are attempting to get used to!! After eating, the songsters began to get ready, changed and pepared in prayer for the concert ahead.
The concert itself was fantastic, with the congregation receptive to what we were attempting to do and the message we were trying to portray.
A good evening had by all!!! With yet another standing ovation from the audience. After packing up the coach we began our 2hr journey to Camp Walter Johnson our base for the next 2 nights.
A tired , but happy bunch ready for a good rest in preparation for another full packed day tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone
ReplyDeleteWe continue to follow your progress with interest.
Appears that you are having a very hectic time and one or two of the photographs show a little fatigue setting in from the early starts etc.
From David's comments on 7th April, sounds as if some of the new uniforms purchased for the tour will need letting out.
Take care and continue to show our colonial cousins the talent and commitment from the "old country."
Hi Mummy and Grandma and Grandad,
ReplyDeleteOli has been to my house tonight to play. I'm missing you but don't really know whats happening! Daddy says he's in control of things but i'm not so sure! Hope you are all singing well, especially you Grandad, your singing can be a bit dodgy but don't tell Hammy I said that! Anyway Daddy says I've got to go to bed now. Bye, lots of love and kisses Toby. x x x x x x
Hi Dad
ReplyDeleteWe were begining to wonder if you had actually made it there - no sign of you on any photos! until yesterday.
Sounds like you will all be exhausted and several stone heavier when you return.
Mum is keeping herself busy and behaving well!!
Casper is gradually getting her trained!
See you soon
Sarah and Glen
I hope you are having a great time. I wish I could be with you. I hope Bernie is taking good care of you guys! A special hello to Andrea, Graham and Jenny, and of course Ian Anderson!
