Callie,

We have our eye on you!!  Have a great trip.
Love you,
Grandpa Ed
Grandma Doris
 

You all were in our prayers yesterday at 10am worship!  LIGM, Wayne.

 

Dear Jonathan,Hope you are having a good time.  Not that we would know since you haven't called.  I guess that means you are a very secure guy and that's a good thing.   We hope you are actually still there as we didn't see you in the beach  photos.  They weren't supposed to lose you until NYC....ha ha ha.  Just kidding.....call us....don't you want to know how I replaced your cell phone for free????????  TTFN  Journey On!  Love, Mom and Robert

 

Mike and Mark,These updates are just fantastic, a great way to feel connected.  Wish we were there.  I'm going on the next one.  Hope everyone is staying healthy.  Thanks so much to the adults and hi to the kids.Becky Morris

 

Callie,
If your parents don't find a house by the time you get back, see if you
can rent the bus for another month...  BTW, the pictures
look great!
Take care,
Aunt Vicky

 

Howdy!  Looks from your pictures like you're having a good time.  I hope the congregations are receptive to your program and that they receive a blessing out of your performance.  Be safe and we'll see you on Saturday.  ---Dave O'Brien
 

 

Just checking.  I think that the picture on the web page is a new one.  Is Grant sleep walking?  And Kate isn't there.  Is she still with the tour or was she  on "Kate time" which is an average of half hour late.  I told a dozen people today about the website and thought of 2 Dayton families that moved to Boston last year that should have come to the performance.  Have a great trip.
 Becky Morris

 

well, i checked my office and all seems to be intact.  Brutus the Buckeye Bandsman is still on my desk...i wonder who was kidnapped?  wb

 

Lucas,  Hey dude!  Your mom told me to email you and bug you!  Are you guys
having fun?  The pictures on the website look like you are having a
blast!  When do you come home?  Well....sing pretty, behave and be
safe!I'll talk to you when you get home!
Love ya,
your favorite cousin and her clan,
Heather, Frank, Zayne and Hayden!
 

Hey Luke - Hope you are having fun!  Get 'er done!  Love, Aunt Judy

 

Good Tuesday morning to all of you. It has been great to see the
snapshot updates of your touring around New England. We hope all of
your performances are going well and you are all remembering to sing the
right parts (Callie)! Have a great time in Boston and New York. Special
greetings, hugs and kisses to Callie! Yes, we have a new home to move
into in August! Yea!!!
Love, Tim and Julie Korosei
 

To all 2004 Faithseekers - love all the pics on the website - looks like a great time!!!  Keep up the good work at all your performances - remember, most of these people are seeing this for the 1st time and you really do put on a great show!!  Special hellos to Rachel - love you, miss you and keep smiling like you are in all the pics!!

P.S. Where r my pictures??LOL! j/k! MWAH!
 

Hope you are all having a good time.  I see that Jonathan IS actually with you (or was as of Tuesday) as the previous pictures did not indicate his presence.  Some of you are VERY good about calling your parents and updating them as to your well being.  Others of you, whom here will remain nameless, (JONATHAN), could stand to call home at least once to touch base.  We hope the weather is cooperating and that the NYC walking tour is a wonderful experience. 
 Journey On!
 Kimberley and Robert (Jonathan's Folks)

 

 

heheheheh   Hey, I have been sending emails to the link on the website and haven't seen my entries there.....it doesn't matter really, I just thought Jonathan might think it was funny or embarrassing to hear from us that  way.  Glad you are all having fun.....hope there is still more fun ahead....I know there will be.  Kim Liston
 

 

Hey Luke . . . it's mom.  I'm sitting here at work, not working, but
looking at the website.  I have told many people about the site, so you
have many viewers.  I love you and miss you.  I hope you are having a
wonderful time.  Don't sweat it too much, but I cleaned your room and
(among other things) I think I found all of your pillowcases!!!!!
Stay safe . . . see you soon.
Love mom
 

 

Hey Callie! Wuz up? Hope you are having an awesome time. Looks like it
from the pics. See ya soon. Love Fuzzy, Logie, Blacky, Grayie and Macy

Hey Jonathan,
Saw the pictures in NYC.....Love those SHORTS!....Looks like all are having a great time.  We miss you here at home.  Sunny waited by the door all day on Satuday after you left, and has "napped" in your room several times, so she misses you, too.  Big rain came through yesterday, but should be clear for you trip home.  Have a fantastic last performance.  Thanks to Mike and Mark for all the pictures and web updates.  See you tomorrow whether you want to or not! heheheh
love, Mom

 

 

Hey Robi- It was so great to hear from you on Tuesday night.  You all look like you are having a good time!!
 I e-mailed you on Monday but it must have been lost.
 Have a safe trip home and I hope you haven't run outr of money!!!
 Love You-Mom

 

 

I just want to thank you once again for the great concert.  I only wish more of our congregation could have been there to enjoy it.  The kids who stayed with us were great.  3 went in the pool and one latch on to the Playstation.  I hope the rest of your trip was great.  Thanks for the travel mug, too.  Lynn Murray, UCC Westerly.

 

 

Ok I was looking at the pics of you guys from Friday, and I was so
happy. I hope you met the youth pastor Dave Bob from Poland UMC... he's so cool! And

I looked at the group pic of you and the bus driver... and admittedly,
I started crying....I must be crazy...   I was thinking about all the fun times I had when
I went on choir tour... but part of the reason I started crying was the
fact that I miss you guys !!!  I know it's only been a week but K-town isn't
the same without you all! I'm so excited to see each and every one of you!
Just some reminders,(shameless advertisements)  if you want to help out
with Clubhouse on mondays...let me know, we really need help.
Also Breakfast club is serving St. Vincent on Sunday morning. Let Rich
know if you want to come. All the cool kids are doing it... if you don't
have "tour-lag"...I love you all so much! I can't wait to see you guys when you come back
on Saturday! You're in my prayers! Did I mention I love you all?
Love,Petrey
 

 

Hi you guys! I know that you guys have enjoyed my frequent emails!lol!
I hope that over all the trip was one that you'll remember and treasure
for life! I can't wait till next chior tour, I think we should go to NY
again or to flordia! What do ya think? lol! I LOVE YOU ALL! from the bottom
of my heart! MWAH! I'm glad you're home! MWAH!                                                                        
Love always, Hodapp
P.S. The pictures are hilarious! They look great and I love the
hummer!lol! Call when you're back  MWAH!

 

 

I just want to Thank you guys for making Poland one of your stops on your tour.  The group was wonderful.  I sure had a lot of people who missed an outstanding Concert.  Thanks for coming and sharing.
 I trust that you trip home from here was un-eventful and that everyone looking forward to being home and yet reluctant to end your time together.  That's what I like to hear when Mission Trips return, when Youth events come to an end.       Pastor Dave, Poland United Methodist Church
