Second half...the year went by so fast!
I'm back in Ecuador...school has started again and is not too bad (yet) and everyone made it back OK. Some people volunteered to not get on their connecting flight from Atlanta to Quito (with $400 dollars and free food and housing, that's not a bad deal) and were going to get back Sunday night instead of Saturday, but then their pilot got sick. They ended up getting into Quito at about 6 in the morning on Monday, but amazingly they still made it to class! (A good thing too, because Mondays and Fridays count for double absences...yikes!) Mostly this blog is just a brief update, and for some reason my blog isn't showing any of the recent posts...so maybe republishing it will fix it, I don't know.
On a completely different note, I'm kind of stressed out right now...not about schoolwork exactly though. You see, a small group of students is going to California to promote CBC in May. I really want to because I think it would be fun (and hey, it would be a trip to California...) and it wouldn't conflict with camp or anything. The dilemma: We have to audition for it. Which, if you know anything about how stressed I was when I had to do musical auditions, scares me to death. It's also kind of ambiguous what they want...the auditions are for instrumentals, vocals, and drama. Now, unless they want a flute player (which they might, but I have no clue) I probably wouldn't be much use at instrumentals. A bunch of people are already trying out for vocals, although I'm not sure how many vocalists they want or what the gender division is with people trying out. Drama? I could probably do it, but it would be the hardest thing to find an audition piece for. I don't know. Anyway, I'm praying about whether or not I should audition, so I'd appreciate your prayers as well.

Hey there Kilara! I was just about to write in my LiveJournal, when I remembered the address you told me. So here I am, finally remembering to check it out! I'll be sure to bookmark it, so I can check it every once in a while. Here's the address to my LJ, like I promised:

Remember that I'm always praying for you, and here's what I say about the auditions: go for it, if you feel God calling you to go to California. You sound excited, and so I would try. The worst that can happen is that you don't go. But no one can ever tell you that you didn't try. You are a very talented and gift young woman, Kira, and I strongly believe that you can do anything you put your mind to.
I love you, hermanita.
