Pennsylvania

Well today we left North Carolina, drove through Virginia, Delaware, Maryland and ended up in Pennsylvania.
Just to sum up a bit since last time I wrote something here, we are done doing church concerts. We had our last one in November in Virginia. It was in a little church with 103 people in attendance but what a show. Auntie Beth from Kenya let all us aunties wear one of her African costumes and Uncle Vic wore one of Davids so we were all dressed up. We all went up and danced the last song with the children and apparently I have a few moves up my sleeve, at least accordingly to the video we took:) Good times.
After our last concert we drove to Raleigh North Carolina. There is a church there that has bought two houses and renovated the garage into living area just for the choir to use. The property is in the country with a BIG open area for the children to play in. What a blast!! We let the children run free and after 14 months of a strict tour schedule, they thrived! Last night to celebrate our last evening we had pop-its and sparklers outside and then a cake.
We did do a lot of rehearsals while at the house for our Christmas event. Starting on Sunday they are rehearsing with the Baltimore Symphony orchestra and Sandi Patti and then doing 14 shows with them. It is a really neat Christmas concert. The children have worked really hard on the concert and we are all excited to see it all come together.
Right now we are in Pennsylvania. We are doing a special concert tomorrow and then heading to Baltimore.
After the last show in Baltimore, which is the 23rd, we are going to a camp in New York for Christmas. Then on December 27th the children fly back to Africa.
Wow, I'm going to be home in 23 days! It's exciting, sad and scary all at the same time. Please pray for me as I adjust to living in MB again after travelling for so long.
God bless
