El Puente Gospel Concierto

One time, back in December, we were asked to sing in a gospel concert. This concert was made up of many different talented people of our church to help raise money for the youth's up and coming camp.

We only had two weeks to prepare. We had to learn 12 songs, memorize most of the lyrics, know what pitch to sing and to come in at the right time. To say the least it was a challenge, but a lot of fun.

I wish we had a video to post to let you experience a Chilean gospel concert, but we do have a few pictures.

Melody's parents came to visit for a week and a half. They came bearing gifts. In return we showed them Chile.

We took them to Santiago for 2 days to see the sites and sounds of the bustling city that holds most of the country's population.

In Coquimbo/La Serena they got to experience artisan markets, a farmers market, grocery stores,the Plaza de Armas of both cities, Iglesia El Puente (Melody and my church), the public transportation, the people, and of course the food.

Melody's mom, Karen, shared with our church about Moms In Touch International, casting the vision of having every school in Chile covered in prayer. Karen was a real encouragement for the ladies in our church.

It was such a blessing and encouragement for us to have them visit. For me, they represent all the support that we have back home.
