Here’s an update on our canjo-making workshop held Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013. We were expecting a mix of adults and children, but it ended up being mostly 5th and 6th graders. The instrument making went pretty smoothly, though there was a bit of a time crunch to get them all done.

Our mini-concert went really well, in my opinion. Melodie maintained her nerve to play an electric canjo (are you amazed?!) for two songs. Her first one went without a hitch. She hit a snag on the second one, but after finding her place again, she finished the entire song. No tears either! 🙂 That’s always good.

We never know who we will meet at events like this or where this will lead in the future. God knows. We have a new opportunity this week to speak to a group of volunteers to which our contractor belongs. He said we could speak about our work here, our personal life experience, or anything we want. Sounds like an open door. Pray with me that I’ll know what I should say.

A note of praise: A friend we have been praying for recently attended our Bible study. He got to hear about Jesus’ miracles, the need for faith, and how faith takes away our fear. We were thrilled!
