Today was a busy day. I thought I planned out lessons last night before hitting the hay, but as it turned out, I was only conscious long enough to make plans for our first class. After getting up early, I wrote out my plans for the day- all of which involved running the songs we know in preparation for tomorrow's concert.
My voice is not doing so hot, so I stayed home to rest and spend a few more minutes warming up while Sue and Ann visited the creche. The 9:00 and 2:00 classes were adorable and we were even able to run Soon and Very Soon with the band. They sound great! Edna surprised me today with a gift- a white shirt (Our uniform for the concert) and an angel statue. That was very sweet of her!
Sue keeps attendance at every class and today's 2:00 group had ten extra kids in it! They've never shown up before! I'm glad word has gotten out about the classes, but I'm afraid we won't have enough bandanas for the kids tomorrow! Sue and I weren't in town long enough to buy shirts for this year's performance, so everyone is getting a bandana. Not too shabby, right?
Phew! I am running out of things to write. Not for lack of events, I'm just growing more tired by the minute and bed is calling my name. Let me see...
Since today is Racquel's birthday, we had a special Mass for her and a lovely party afterwards. Only in Brazil does Mass start 20 minutes late because we're waiting for the birthday girl. I couldn't believe Padres Jose and Edmundo waited! The party was wonderful- dinner, dancing, and, inevitably, me playing with 4 year olds. I had to keep silent for most of the evening so I wouldn't hurt my voice, but it was still a lot of fun. I even convinced Gustavo, my other lovely godchild, to dance with me for 5 seconds! Sue got it on camera, so we have proof (
That's all for now. I can't wait for tomorrow- we're going to be exhausted, but it will be completely worth it!
Lots of love,
Jamie
