Thanks La Crescenta!

Wednesday night, the youth of La Crescenta Presbyterian Church (in Southern California) held their second annual talent show and dinner in honor of Bola Moyo. Some talent highlights included virtuosos on the cello, bazouki (spelling?), and mouth trumpet. Other favorites included the "overhead projector changer" who showcased her talent changing overhead slides with a steady hand, and TEAM EAT who ate watermellons with their hands behind their backs. What a talent!

I flew down from Portland to attend this event, and was very glad I did. It was a riot. Plus, it was fun connecting with this community of people who really seem like a big family. I was warmly welcomed and can't thank La Crescenta and youth pastor Darren enough.

While in Southern California, I'm taking time to meet with other partners and supporters of Bola Moyo and share our latest photos and video from Malawi. On Monday, I'm flying to the Bay Area to do the same. Then on to Chicago for the Jubilee Grassroots Conference before swinging through Nebraska to connect with some of Dustin's midwest family friends. I'll finally be back in Portland on June 25th, just in time to start a summer class at Portland State University that afternoon.

I hope you're all doing well. Please note these key events in the Bay Area:

Friday, June 8th - Bola Moyo Party in Brentwood, 6pm (address to be announced)
Sunday, June 10th - Partner Potluck in Antioch, 6 pm (604 Iglesia Ct, Antioch, CA 94509

Hope to see you soon!
