A LOT of Talent in Shanghai!

There were 29 different acts in our Talent Show!!! We had many singers, dancers and instrumentalists in our show who were quite talented. We had several pianists, one girl who played a Chinese piano that looked like a harp, flute, clarinet and horn players and even one performer who played a trumpet made from a plunger! Our five guys (Nathan, Michael, Javan, Peyton and Lane) who sang barbershop with lots of harmony were outstanding! Several of our young teachers sang and performed with their Chinese friends. Three class groups (Groups four, eight and nine) performed and did a great job on their songs – some serious and some quite silly! Dale and Jasmine, who is the leader of the Chinese assistants, were our MC’s for the night. We especially appreciated the ability of the sound man up in the booth to keep up with all kinds of technology that the students brought for accompaniment! Andy enjoyed helping the sound man by operating the lights on stage!

Last night we had our second movie night and we watched Narnia – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Many students clapped when the Lion returned to life and when the side of Good won in the battle! Our teachers had lots to talk about with their students today as they reviewed the movie and its true meaning. There is a lot of sowing going on in this camp by all of our teachers, as a result of your support, and we have begun to reap also. Please keep us in your thoughts now.
