Today I had the opportunity to watch the Watoto Children’s Choir from Uganda, Africa.
I let the choir in the church to start setting up and had the opportunity to watch as they transformed our church for their concert. I stayed around for a couple hours to answer questions, open locked doors, and help them where I could.
When the children came in (they had been napping in the bus), I got to say “Hi!” to them as they went to the practice rooms upstairs. Later, as people were filing into the sanctuary before the concert, one of the little African boys was handing out programs. As he handed one to me, he said (in the sweetest African accent), “I remember you!”
It totally made my evening.
The only part about the concert I did not like was the fact that my family did not join me. Kaylie and Liliana are both sick. Kaylie’s got some sort of cold and is totally and completely out of it, and Liliana has snot coming out of various orifices on her face.
Oh the fun.
I had a friend call me to tell me to watch out for German Measles, because she just found out her daughter has them and we spent an afternoon with them last week. Apparently they’re contagious for 1 week before symptoms and 2 weeks after.
Oh goody.
Luckily, my children have been immunized, and will hopefully avoid that kind of sickness. Liliana has been up already five or six times since she went to bed three hours ago so tonight should be a hoot.
German measles? Yikes! I need to do some research on that. When do they get vaccinated for that? Liv has her 1 year shots next week so here’s hoping! We dealt with chicken pox this year not sure I want to deal with measles!

I seen the choir a few years ago and really didn’t want to go on Saturday night. I went anyways and was totally blessed by the childern and reminded of how my “issues” are so much smaller. My mom said it was a good thing they didn’t mention adoption, because she was falling in love with the childern.
