So we've finally got the band together! We are running most of the new songs without breaking into sectionals first. I get to mix monitor and main speakers for everyone. Some songs even have all 6 vocalists! (Maily the spanish ones). My day now starts at 6:45 am for waking up since my pickup time was pushed back to 8 am. Mornings are a breakfast then off to "work". We get Sunday, Weds, and the next Sunday off. Every other day is a full day. I do not get much excersize so tonight when I got back I took the family dog for a walk. It was quite relaxing. We are through 12 songs by now. It doesn't seem like we are that far, but we only have 5 left to learn. We have learned a drama involving 5 members of the team. So far I am not involved other then to push play. It is a pantamime to Switchfoot's Dare you to Move (a 4 min song) that shows the Bible. It goes from God creating the world, creating man, man sinning and disobeying God, God coming back for man, being cruxified, and finally being reunited with man how he originally intended it. It's surprisingly moving when put to the song well. We are working on testimonies, speaking on stage, and all that fun stuff.
Some more prayer requests:
Strength to get through the days on not enough sleep (OVER 8 hours is not enough now)
The ability/courage for us to speak the truth both here and at Honduras
Breaking through this embargo
More good bonding (the team is coming together well so far)
I am enjoying my host home, I have been called the "long lost brother" to the 17 year old boy of the house. He is also a runner, tall and skinny. We spent last night watching a band concert on DVD.
Peace and grace to you all,
Ed
