HAVE YOU CLIMBED A TREE LATELY?

Ice Cream!

I SCREAM. YOU SCREAM. WE ALL SCREAM FOR free ICE CREAM!

Someone in the audience of our Milton, Ontrario concert owned an ice cream truck. They asked to come back the next day to give the kids FREE ice cream. Who could say "no" to that?

MARVIN GET HIS CONE!

At camp we did a high ropes course. It was about 40 feet in the air. I loved seeing the kids conquer their fear and climb up high! All 26 kids and even a few brave Aunties (including me!) had fun up in the air. The best part was the zipline down!

Missing Uganda

BUGOLOBI SCHOOL ONE YEAR AGO





I just got an email from my Ugandan friend John Paul. He is spending next week at Bugolobi school with the Music For Life Team doing Bible School Camps with the students. The last 2 years at this time I was in Uganda participating in these camps. He was asking me if I had any messages to pass on to the kids or Teacher Helen. It really made me think. What could I say to these people that have made such a huge amazing impact on my life???? My heart longs to be with them. Encouraging them. Loving on them. Hearing the children laugh and sing. Worship and praising our Lord together. But God has brought me somewhere else today.

Today I sit in a big, beautiful, old church sanctuary in Ontario. The stain glass windows are intricately made and the late afternoon light makes the appear to be glowing. The wooden pews are carved and polished. Terese is playing her heart out on the piano creating a peaceful, worshipful, atmosphere. The 26 little africans who I love to pieces are sleeping in a nearby room. Later this evening they will fill this sanctuary with joyful singing to the Lord. The audience will clap and smile. They may even shed a few tears. After the concert someone may ask me about ways they can make a difference in these kids lives. I will speak with the lucky families that will get to share a few days hosting our kids and adults. Then 2 girls and I will get in a car with someone we just met and drive off to their home. They will ask us many questions about ACC and our lives. The girls will shower and have a snack. I will hug and pray with the girls before they lay their heads down to sleep. It will be another day finished.

I wonder where I will be next year at this time?

Marks, Get Set, GO!!!!!

Every 3 months we spend a week at camp, taking a break from the normal tour routine. We take advantage of having time to ourselves and spend some time celebrating birthdays from the past 3 months. This time to celebrate we went Go-Karting on our way to camp. The kids had such a blast!

Some of the kids didn't quite make the height requirement for driving alone. The Aunties and Uncles had fun taking them for a spin!

Although Margaret was tall enough to drive on her own she was still too scared to go alone. I drove her and the whole time she kept saying, "Auntie, slow down! Auntie, watch out! Auntie! Auntie! Slow down and enjoy the ride!"

Casa Loma

CASA LOMA IN TORONTO, ONTARIO

We had a special event performance at this historic castle in Toronto. The performance was scheduled to be outside on the patio but it rained (after I got these great photos!). The kids performed inside at a fancy dinner that was a fund raiser for PlanCanada which is an organization that raises funds for children in other countries.

An outdoor concert

We had an outdoor concert a few weeks ago. It was great until it started to rain!


At the concert this little girl brought me strawberries that she had picked all by herself for the choir children. She was so cute-dancing around during all the songs!
