I got to sing on a stage...in Jakarta!
Rebecca, Lyndi, Tasi, and I represented our church in an annual Christmas concert. Yes, we had matching sparkly shirts (fabulous!) We sang "Christmas in 3 Minutes" - a medley of Christmas songs.
After our song, our children joined us on stage for "Little Drummer Boy." It felt very Von-Trappish (although minus husbands).
The building we were in was a bit dilapidated. When the kids explored during the dress rehearsal they went to the fourth floor where cat feces was scattered all over. A man, who appeared to be living there, asked them if they wanted to see the roof. And they said yes! (Stranger-danger seemed to have escaped their brains.) Luckily, the man was very nice, and did indeed show them the roof. He also stopped them from trying the elevator which was broken, thus saving them from plummeting to their death.
Here are the girls when they weren't "exploring."
My wonderful singing friends! There are very few things I enjoy more than singing with people I love!
Charlotte and her friend Clara waiting for the show to begin.
We knew the night was truly Indonesian style when the emcees jumped up on stage and yelled "Salamat Natal" (Merry Christmas!) so loud we had to cover our ears. Behind them the huge screen projected all the acts. Oh yeah, it was a BIG deal.
