It’s hard to believe our month in California has come to an end. We can’t even begin to tell you what an adventure it was, having spent hours driving from concerts to studio sessions, meeting lots of new people, and facing various disappointing moments as well as some unbelievable opportunities. All in all, it was a faith-stretching time that kept us clinging to the fact that God is in control no matter what the circumstances. We have never headed into a trip that was as unscheduled as this one. There were only 4 dates on the calendar when we left, and yet, there was never a dull moment!
Here’s a quick look at what we were doing (w/ a few videos interspersed to make it interesting!):
June 9 Fly to Cali
June 10-11 Rehearsing for Fishfest / Shaun’s 18th birthday
June 12 Fishfest!
June 13 Yorba Linda Friends 5-6th grade (talked about waiting to date)
June 15 Children’s Hospital of OC, Radio Lollipop interview, visit patients
June 16-20 Family driving vacation! Red Woods, San Francisco, Yosemite (you’d
think we’d be sick of driving!)
June 22-23 Recording with producer, Michael Linney, in Hollywood

Thank you so much for praying! No one got sick, we had very few technical issues, God provided transportation and housing, and we made it home safely (apart from a few damaged suitcases)! We’ll have more news to share soon. Thanks for joining us in this journey – we can’t wait to see what God has in store next!
