New Song 2011 Tour : Day 8 (Halfway There)

Sleeping on that mattress was like sleeping on a cloud. None of us wanted to get up out of bed. But, we had to. Bibby volunteered to do my hair and make up which was awesome. It looks pretty bomb, if I do say so myself. The host mom, Carol, was late in getting up and ready so we had to skip breakfast. It was quite sad because she had already cooked the bacon and eggs and the smell was tantalizing. Oh well. It was raining so everyone's pink dresses were all spotted and wet. Luckily they dry fast. The concert went splendidly and they fed us a delicious lunch of hamburgers and lots of different salads and desserts. After lunch we loaded up on the buses to drive to Shasta for our next concert at 6 P.M. I slept for most of the drive. Victoria and I were sitting together and woke me up when it started snowing and we reached the place where snow was. This was her first time seeing snow fall in person and she was excited about it. The concert went very well and the church fed us a nice meal with amazing bread rolls, before the concert. It's quite cold here in Susanville, but not too bad. April and I are together for the night. Our host family is great. The lady and man have two daughters, one is a junior in high school, named Amy. The other, Paige, is away at Shasta College, so we're sleeping in her room. They served us ice cream and delicious rum cake. They have two dogs, one a little fluffy thing, and one a boxer puppy, and a calico cat. The mom is a nurse who works with inmates at the prison. The dad works at another prison as security, or something or other like that. Unfortunately April and I can't get the wifi to work so no internet again tonight. oh well. It won't kill me. In fact it's good for me. Today I have been dwelling on the psalm that says "Create in me a clean heart, oh God; and renew a right spirit within me." That has been my prayer today. I've been praying every day of tour that God would give me His spirit of love and patience to help me show His love to those around me...even when I want to snap at them. I know He'll help me. This bed looks comfy, so I think I"ll retire for the night, even though it's only 10. Sleep is important these days....and scarce. The first week of tour is over. New Song Tour 2011 : Halfway There.
