I had one of the best nights yesterday when I was able to go to choir 31's last performance. I know it hasn't been that long since I saw them last, but it still felt like I hadn't seen them in forever. Just like going home, the children ran to meet me and I was almost knocked to my knees. Those children have brought me so much fun and joy and it was a great priviledge to say goodbye. They danced their hearts out and on the last song, Victor pulled all the chaperons on stage to dance. Wow, there is a reason why we sit in the audience and just cheer. After that great performance, the church was so kind and prepared a party for us. I felt so bad after leaving. We just gave 26 children, who were hyper on sugar to several unknowing host homes. My favorite part of the party was telling my table of girls the story of Beauty and the Beast one last time. For some reason Lynate just loves it.
I will miss those children terribly but there is also peace in my heart about choir 34. The children had their dress rehearsal today and did quite well. There is a little work to be done but mostly it is full of energy and the African songs are all amazing. I do enjoy this program, with twice as many African songs, it truly does feel like Africa. The children love dancing, and watching some of their songs just makes me want to run up there on stage and join them. All in all this tour looks to be in great shape and I can't wait to get on the road.
