Play Me a Tune

To my most amiable readers;

No, it isn't a world-famous rock band...yet. This is our church worship team, from left, Elizabeth, Constanza, Deborah, and Consuelo. The music is beautiful and inspiring. Liz and Deb are our co-workers' daughters and give selflessly of their time in leading worship and teaching the younger children in sunday school. Consuelo and Constanza are amazing young ladies who are gifted in music, teaching, and have a missions call on their lives. I so appreciate all of these ladies' approach to worship, not as a performance, but as a guide, leading God's people to adoration in song. You guys rock!

Even Dustin and I get in on the music scene sometimes...the other day we had a surprise birthday party for a guy in our church, and we were all sitting around laughing and talking. Someone got out an old out-of-tune guitar, an egg shaker, and the rest of us grabbed anything that made noise (including coffee cans and broken toys). As we beat out the rythym, we passed the Bible around and each sang out a line of a Psalm to the beat. It was so fun.

At home I'm still practicing guitar, and Dustin is still honing his i-Pod skills. Also, a couple from our church in the states sent us a hymnal, which I'm loving!! We have an echoey (did I just invent that word?) house, and it's very fun to sing in.

Well, this has been a bit of a rambling blog, but I just rowed 8 km. along with racing drills....and whew....

Blessings! Your Devoted, Sarah
