Around 16 people went on a choir tour down to LA / Loma Linda area for the Summer Weimar College PAC time.  It was an immense blessing, even though I wasn’t directly involved with the singing!  The group even had the privilege of singing in a Catholic church during mass!

First stop: dinner at the Leals house – completely amazing!!!

Backyard concert for the Leals.

Nobody could figure out how this bizarre can-opener worked!

Oh yeah!  Southern California weather by the ocean!

I think our conductor thought he was a model..

Our very own national geographic photography; whatever it takes to get the picture!

Here we are singing for an SDA school in LA.

Friday night concert.

What a coincidence, singing for Advent Hope with Ted Wilson preaching!

You’d think the guy was famous or something with the long line of people waiting to see him!

Singing in the catholic church was definitely the highlight of the trip.  The whole congregation, including the priest absolutely loved the singing!

At the end we each passed a paper plate around the group with our name on it, and each one of us wrote what we appreciated about the person on them.  It was a great way to end the trip, with a lot of fun memories!

This last Sabbath the one year medical missionary / massage students graduated!  Here’s just a few pictures of the church service in the morning and then the graduation that night.

Friday night: The guys singing “The Midnight Cry”.

This Sunday morning at 6:30 we had the final WeiRun of the semester!  There were two tracks, the long one (around 7 miles), and the short one (around 4.2 miles).  I went for the shorter one since I was lugging my camera around the track as well, at the request of Ben.  It was amazing, and felt very good with the sun rising part way around in the fresh morning air!

Starting out with some stretching to warm up!

Winston appears very perplexed about something.

Someones excited!

Note the best part of this picture: Nick (behind Carlos).

Ummm not sure what’s going on here!  Nice style though Weston!

The sun was just starting to come up, it was magnificent! 

The sun was becoming even more magnificent.

The final push.

Mexican Angry Birds coming up to the water stop!

Our lone spectator and time tracker waiting patiently for all the slow ones probably lost out on the trails!!
