Greetings one and all!! I just want to give a brief update before sharing a few songs for SFF (you didn't think I would remember didja?Oh ya, I'm full of surprises!) =)
Things are going very well here in Mada. I had my last ESL class for this term on Thursday. But the next several days will be very busy. I am grading student papers this weekend and preparing their exam for next week. As well as proofreading speeches for Adv 2 students. Sun, Mon, Tues, and Wed night I have choir rehearsal from 6-10pm, in preparation for our concert! =) As well as volunteering at CFCA, and then the concert on Friday night! As well as just the things of daily life, going to the market, (sometimes) cleaning the house, chasing my mouse, etc. =)
Today, as many of you know, we filmed a music videoesque clip. Thank you all for your prayers. It went very well. Took 6 hours! Which perhaps is not all that long but it felt long (although very fun)! Great time of bonding with the group! It turns out we will have a guest singer at our concert Delan (sp) who is very famous in Madagascar. So for the clip they had him sing the solo (which I usually do) as it is better publicity for our concert. I was more than okay with it! Took all the pressure off and was able to fully enjoy the day with the choir! I should have asked prayer for my rhythm instead of my throat! As we had to do alot of swaying/impromptu dancing. =) I felt totally out of my element being put in front of a camera, lip syncing to our choir's recording and swancing (sway/dancing). But apparently they really liked my stuff. :) All in all a great (exhausting day!)
Prayer Requests:
*For our concert on Friday. We will be performing at a place where apparently you are not allowed to evangelize, but it is okay if your songs are Christian (which all of ours are) So hopefully it will be a good witness!
*Amy and Ryan Dupuis the short-term couple who have been serving here in Antsirabe (and been good friends to me) for the last 9 months are returning to Canada. Pray for safe travels and smooth transition back to life in North America for them.
*Bailey Benson is a short-term missionary who will be joining us (Karin and I) in Antsirabe in January. If you think of be praying that God will be preparing her for what he wants to do through her and to or for her.
*Pray for health. I haven't had anything terrible, just lots of different symptoms (some weird), Yesterday during class all of the sudden I heard like a whooshing in my ears as if I was holding a shell to my ear. And then later I heard a piercing whistle but inside my head. Been very tired, sore throat etc. So ya, just pray that I would be healthy, energetic etc.
*Pray for consistent meaningful times in the Word.
*Praise God for His wonderful mercies to me. Especially in bringing me friends my age to be with (in the choir) I have really missed that fellowship.
*Praise God for sending me to Mada. It has not always been easy to be here or clear why. But I can now say with absolute assurance this is where he wanted me. And now that I am resting in His plan I have found so much joy!
Thank you for you prayers and support! Here are some songs! No captions because I can't type anymore right now (headache!!)
OK just one quick caption, this song is from the album Music Inspired By The Story. I really recommend this album! I love it! Incidentally the song from two weeks ago "How Love Wins" is also from this album. Enjoy!
