Just keep moving... just keep moving

The days are packed. Today is my day off and it is busy as well. Spent this morning at a Baptist church here with my host family, that many CTI members go to. Then a church open house/picnic for some free lunch and chilling with CTI team members/staff and my host family. They basically drag me (willingly) around to do stuff since I do not have much to do. Don't get me wrong, I have PLENTY to do between 8 am and 8:30 pm on days we practice. But other then that I don't have much to do. It's very freeing and relaxing not being in constant contact with everyone via internet and phone. I have been informed that out of the many people my family has hosted for CTI and others, I'm the easiest and most polite, so I guess someone raised me correctly. My saturday was opened with french toast for breakfast! Then we added 3 more songs to make our total 15 with just 2 more to add. We had a team time of prayer/worship (Korean style), which basically means everyone prays at once. We worked on the team set up and tear down of the system. I'm in charge of the board and the snake. That is fitting, but it takes a bit longer then I'd like because I want to be able to help others troubleshoot their jobs more. But it's heavier work so I am glad to do it for the team. The snake is 30 lbs of cable to unwrap and wrap, the board is over 50 right now with it's current case, but I am getting a new board case, a new amp rack, and possible other new things to cut weight. Our team is bonding, somewhat over playing pranks on each other by playfully taking someone's cup at lunch, or their pen while they are not looking. We'll need the humor when we get to Honduras and are faced with stress and little sleep and cold showers. We heard a talk last night by Chuck Swindol that was recorded many years ago about Attitude. It was good. We will definitely need the right attitude to get through Honduras when things go wrong. I have gotten some chances to just sit outside in the later afternoon/close to twilight here and it is really peaceful and quiet. I took the family dog for a walk to enjoy the night air. I could live in a town of 20,000. It's only 4 times the size of William $ Mary, NOT counting grad students, profs, or staff. My team has a large asian population. We have 5 members that are at least half asian out of 13 people on the team. The rest of us are totally white. Not that any of this is about race, because in Honduras we will all be minorities. When we are in Honduras updates will be posted on www.ctimusic.org. We already have a website off that for our team with temporary pictures and info. On Tuesday (I think) we will be taking team pictures that are actual promo pictures! That will be a lot of fun. I am finally just relaxing at my host home for the afternoon. Tonight is the Full-time team's final concert, so we will all be going to that to cheer them on and see what we COULD sound like.
Prayers:
That we would have the right attitude
More good bonding
Good rehearsal time on Monday (We do practice concerts for the other teams Monday night!)
REST/strength to get through the day.
Peace to you all
