Yesterday morning, Memorial Road Church of Christ had their annual Mission Sunday -- and we were asked to participate. Several missionaries from around the world led prayers throughout the service via phone. One of the guys in Vienna was selected to lead the closing prayer. However, instead of calling us, the church used Skype to connect to Brian's computer so that when it was our turn, this is what the church saw:
That's our entire team -- 8 adults and 5 children -- crammed into the corner of our very hot little kitchen (taken by the webcam on Brian's computer). We sat like this for about 30 to 45 minutes waiting for our turn. We had closed the windows and at one point even turned off the fan so that there wouldn't be any extra noise in the background. (After about 5 minutes we realized we weren't going to make it and cracked one of the windows and turned the fan back on.) But once we were connected with the church and could hear the singing, it was all worth it.
So, which part exactly was the "impossible" part? Convincing five children to stay seated in the hot, cramped kitchen for half an hour? Convincing eight adults to do the same? (The adults actually have a choice!) Arranging everyone so that we all fit within the camera's view? Getting all of the technical stuff worked out just right? For me, I'd have to say: all of it!

That is really cool. I wish we could have been there to see you. We're still working on getting ours set up. You know the Gragg tradition..... late late late
Love you

Alisha, I like the shirt you have on in this picture, and your hair is really cute.:) Sorry, all of my comments are superficial. No deep thoughts here.
Mom - I wish I could have been at MRRC to see it also. I'm sure it was much cooler (temperature-wise) there!
Emily - I don't mind the superficial comments. I know you're only superficial on the surface. (I love the pun.)
