So the musical is finally OVER. We had three really great performances! Last week was crazy and hectic in a lot of ways...we had rehearsals from 6:00-11:00 every night in addition to all the regular homework and general CRAZINESS!
So it was exhausting.
But the good news was last week was a lot of fun, too. We got to spend a lot of time together as a cast. When we spent the night getting ready (which entailed LOTS and LOTS of makeup) we listened to show-tunes and danced around and sang.
Another cool thing that happened last week, was that our South Africa team got to share in chapel. My friend Drew spoke about what was on his heart and what has been on all of our hearts since returning...community. He jumped up and ran around, telling a story about the Elephant and the Ant determining who was the strongest and most important animal in Africa. The Elephant definitely thought he was, since he was so large. So they had a race to see who would win. While the elephants ran along huffing and puffing, he always saw an ant right below him... Because the ants...the ants worked together and spread themselves out, ultimately winning the race since they were all one.
Community has been one of those things that we have been talking a lot about lately. I feel it about me anywhere...where we are working together for a common purpose, spending time together, praying together, struggling together, laughing together.
Even with the Mikado and chorale and my beloved South Africa team, those feelings of camaraderie and love are so strong and so desirable...because God created us for it.
Anyway. I've been relishing in it. There are only about two weeks left of school...I can't believe it's coming to a close.
Here...watch a movie my friend made about our South Africa trip...it's kind of amazing...
