Here we are, sitting on the bus in Who Knows Where, USA on Choir Tour. It’s only day four and so much has happened we don’t even know what few things to talk about! So we decided we would ramble about nothing instead…joke. Anyways, wow you guys do not know how hard it is to type this with punctuation and capital letters. Myspace has taken quite a toll on our generations typing skills! Haha Rachel is mad because that has nothing to do with Choir Tour and she is right. Now, seriously, so this trip is a complete mystery and amazingly, thanks to our awesome chaperones, everything has been fairly organized. But, surprisingly enough, the times we sing that are the least expected are the ones that turn out to be the most powerful and most influencing. For example, yesterday was our work day and the itinerary said nothing about any performances and yet we found ourselves singing in trash bags, on the 64 steps of the arch (yes I counted) and for the owner and employees of Swifty’s, the restaurant that opened exclusively for the C.H.R.I.S.T Choir.
Today, Mrs. Mary Lynn prepared all of us for a performance outside saying that it would probably be hot and to us that translated to an uncomfortable performance. Many people thought that this might be the least favorite performance, but with the breeze blowing minds quickly changed. Once the performance was over, we had chances to play basketball with some of the teens, spin obnoxiously on the carousel/merry-go-round thingy, and simply just fellowship and learn about their backgrounds and daily lives. After Kevin fell off the carousel/merry-go-round thingy, we were motioned back to the buses and now we are just chillaxin in the lobby, eating popcorn, and bloggin’ it up! Keep us all in your prayers and if you find out any hints on where we are heading next let us know ;) without Mrs. Mary Lynn or Mrs. Susan finding out please! Oh, and Meg, I’m thinking I might be able to score you a Cardinals t-shirt! The entire choir has decided that our next clue is telling us we are going to a baseball game…we’ll see!

Adios
Emily Edwards and Rachel Botts aka Raquel (ok, so I’m the only one who calls her that…)

Hhmm! Most Influential, my dear.jk Sounds like you guys are having a blast "Where Jesus Is"! Emily, I guess if you can sing in a trash bag, it doesn't really matter what your shoes look like. HA As far as where you are going next, we've had Emily Hatcher and we can't get anything out of her. When we ask, she just looks at us like the cat that swallowed the canary. I am sure that where you all are going is where Jesus wants you to be and that you all will have the opportunity to join Him in His work there. How awesome is that! I know that you all are finding out firsthand how incredible it is to be where Jesus is and that we have the priviledge as His kids to be there 24/7! Take care and Have Fun and tell your chaperones how much you appreciate them! Cindy
