Today was an unusual day in Louisville (for what I’ve noticed about choir tour) it was not raining.  :)

I was stoked to see what God was going to do on my mission site today.  We got there and waited for the kids to come out.  They came and were so excited to see us.  However, the kids got called back into the community center multiple times.  Needless to say, the group was kind of discouraged because the day before was very productive (it was raining so we were invited inside).  When we go back tomorrow, we are determined to make one final impact on the kids.

In the afternoon, we performed at the St. Joseph Children’s Home.  The concert was a lot like the ones from last year.  One of the choir members even pointed out that they looked like the exact same setup.  That concert last year was one of the most impactful from that tour and the result this year was definitely the same.  Ten kids came to know the Lord as their savior.

Then night came and the underclassmen went to the mall.  We (the seniors/freshmen in college!!!) had an amazing senior night.  I don’t think I am supposed to tell what all we did, but it was AMAZING!  It brought great memories back from playing the prank on “Pearl” in 7^th grade, walking what felt like a mile to the showers in 8^th grade, and the molding together of all the groups that has taken place on every choir tour.

Today, an amazing lady, who honestly I am not sure I would have talked to otherwise, shared her story and it helped me realize the crazy awesome power God has.  The lady emphasized the power of prayer.  A lot of times I feel like we as Christians forget about praying.  Even though some times if we ask for something the answer might be “no,” or “later,” if we are in the Word and striving daily to be like Christ, God will answer our prayer.  In Matthew 21:21-22, Jesus says; “Truly I say to you, If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree; but even if you say to this mountain; be taken up and thrown into the sea, it will happen.  And whatever you ask in prayer you will receive, if you have faith.”  I love this verse, and it definitely spoke to me tonight.  And, hopefully, it will inspire you to have faith and pray.  Please continue to pray for us throughout this tour.

Peace,
