encountering God's Hope

Today we got hit with our first glimpses of what this tour was really going to be all about. Yes, I am talking about the snow. Of course our singing and sharing means a lot to us too, but we've been waiting to get struck with the "great white north" that we've been anticipating so much and finally here it is! We were in South Dakota last night and this morning. The snow began last night and by the morning there were several inches covering the ground. Thankfully we all made it to the academy safely, and in time to sing for their chapel. As soon as chapel ended we headed out on the long trek to Minnesota. Thanks to Orla, our wonderful driver, we made it safe and sound, and only about 45 minutes behind schedule. We rehearsed, ate a quick supper, sang, and mingled with alumni and friends. I was delighted to see some relatives of mine there, distant cousins, but cousins none the less. :) I didn't realize that I would be able to make family connections on this tour so that was a nice surprise. And now I'm heading off to bed and getting mentally and physically prepared for another long bus ride to Wisconsin. YAY SNOW!! ~Karla
