It sure has been a crazy year! Earlier this year, I was shown a YouTube video of these two amazing young ladies (AJ and Reesa) by our bass player Al. Next thing you know, I find myself sitting next to Mark (guitar player) making a video asking AJ and Reesa to sing happy birthday to Al.
Next thing you know it, we're in LA meeting AJ and Reesa for the first time. And then we get two more members in our band!!!
This summer, we did a lot of gigs, went to Seattle to play at a church and met a bunch of wonderful young people who love God and share that same passion of reaching out to the world.
Then Randy and I celebrated our one year in August and then our last year of college began. During this past semester, we played big venues and ministered at churches. Randy and I became members of a church called Congregation of Zion and we're learning so much and growing as a couple there!
In September, a tsunami hit home and a lot of homes and lives were lost that day. I lost a couple of good childhood friends and relatives. It was a sad day for Samoans. It made it really hard for me because I wasn't home with my family. But I thank God that they're safe! God has been faithful to my family just as He always has been!
So here we are at the end of 2009. God has brought me a long way. I've experienced some good and bad days, but overall, God has always proven Himself time and time again. Randy got a job teaching music at a private school and we have one more semester before graduating!! This coming week our band will be in St. Louis for a missions conference, and we look forward to seeing what God has to teach us there!
I look forward to the new year and to see what God has in store for me, Randy, my family and the band!!! It's been one crazy year and it's just the beginning!!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!!
