Our church usually lasts until 12 or 12:30 including worship and class. We decided to not stay for class today because Haley didn't sleep well last night because she is growing several teeth right now. We didn't want to put her in class because she was tired and hurting. Also, when she doesn't feel well, she can be pretty aggressive. Therefore, at 11:15 we headed for our walk back home. Upon entering the main highway that brings us home, we heard music that sounded like it might be a parade. We looked in the opposite direction, and sure enough there was a parade. They had just blocked traffic on the road. Instead of marching for a couple miles as we do in the states, they would just have two or three bands lined up at a time and move to one area where each group would play two or three songs. One group played the BEATLES and another played a tune from Phantom of the Opera. We watched a few minutes before heading home. I had seen a marching band with a stationary xylophone before, but almost every band had several (up to 20 in one group) hand held xylophones. Some of the percussion instruments looked hand made. Most of them were pretty old. All of them, though were in tune and beautifully played.

I so love to hear about your new life in the new land. Hope Haley is able to cut her teeth with more ease as that is a troubleing time for little ones, it makes them so irritable. So sad your parents have left Texas as we always enjoy seeing them at services and hearing them speak about their life in the mission field. Hoping to hear you and your husband tell of your experiences in person one day too. linda
