To Cherokee and Back

Well as we gear up to head off for our second weekend traveling with the LIGHT ministries team, I thought it would be about time to mention that first weekend trip. It was a very excited weekend for both the team and John and I. John got the opportunity to preach to the church at the concert Saturday night. Afterwards numerous people came up to him, including the pastor telling him it was a great sermon, Praise God!

The concert went very well also. We were actually at a church on the Indian reservation and this concert was something Completely different for them. Loud music and young kids praising God presenting missions to the church in a whole new way! It was amazing to see how accepting they were of it. Well we did have one guy who came to John the next day ( as the team also sang Sunday morning) and said to him, " I really enjoyed the concert last night. But last night was all I could take, it was too loud for me to go this morning." *Smile* We took it as a compliment considering he was quite elderly and he liked at least the one night ;-)

John also made his first safe trip driving a 15 passenger van with a huge trailer attached, another Praise.

Overall the trip was fantastic. I have been dubbed the team mom and enjoy getting to fulfill that role by bringing baked goods every week, along with encouraging those on the team, and being there in prayer for them. I also help out with the promotions on the weekends and take PLENTY of pictures.

Have you ever raced a toilet?

What do Toilets and racing have in common?
Well for one John,Danielle & Kyle. Two laughter that affects the bladder, and three a grand ole time. Liberty block party 2007 not only did we race toilets, yes you heard right ( see now Meg you wanna come to LU ;-), but we also joust, ride mechanical bulls, have giant milshake drinking contests, and even crazy dance contests. For all of you who now have your interest spiked you should! Liberty is where its at- whoop whoop! Well Liberty and the Puig residence. Between the two you'll never need to search for adventure again. As you should all expect by now the Puigventures are never ceasing. Since the last bug incident we have had many more adventures. We are currently in the process of the creating a legal waiver for all who come for future visits.... ( j/k.)

Danielle is now learning french, or at least attempting. Oh and did we mention she is learning it from a 4 yr old!?!?! She is an assistant pre-school teacher and has a little french girl whi speaks no english. As a result Danielle has learned how to say numerous, she is practically at translator level. 10 french phrases, 2 songs, and the ability to count to 10...definetly worthy of translator status.

For the record John CANNOT sing. His abilitly is limited to the shower and car. We have had many many people saying they didn't know John could sing after hearing about his position as head of the LIght ministries singing team, however notice his title is ROAD DIRECTOR. Unless there is some highly creative re-arranging of those two words and letters in them, there is no mention of singing. John and I are thinking of creating a song for us to sing as a duet to debut later this year....comments on that, eh eh????? John did lead the team on their first trip this past weekend to Cherokee, NC and it went over very well. A blog on that with pictures will be coming this week.

Sorry for the slacking on blogging, it will become more regular and with lots of pictures to follow us Puiggy's.
