Week in WRAP

This week, Noah and I had the chance to reconnect with friends that we have not seen in over a year...

Last year on January 21st, 2011, Noah and I were at the Christian Center playing our saxophones for a birthday party. One of my friends from school was celebrating her son's birthday, so Noah and I decided to spice up the party with pep-band tunes! While playing in the party room, we had a clear view of the bowling alley through a window. Peering through the window, I saw two friends who I knew from church, Raven who was in first grade and Ivy who was in fifth grade. They kept waving at us, calling for us to go into the bowling alley to play a song. After minutes of deliberation, Noah and I made way for the bowling alley. The first song we played was Lets Get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas. By the end of the night, we had the whole place singing along to the Hey Song!

That following Friday, Noah and I decided to head back to the Christian Center and entertain the bowlers with music. Little did Raven or Ivy know, Noah I continued to go back to the Christian Center every Friday night during the spring. Still to this day, we go out to the Christian Center on our Fridays to make surprise appearances at birthday parties, meet new friends, and share our passion for music. If it were not for Raven and Ivy, our ministry at the Christian Center would not exist. This past week, Noah and I discovered that Raven and Ivy were moving to Texas on Thursday. We had not talked with them since that January of 2011, so I got in contact with their dad. This past Wednesday, the day before they left, we went over to their house at 7:30AM and shared all of our pictures, videos, and stories from the past year. Before we left, we were able to have a picture taken with them both (please see the attachment).

I found this quote that I think perfectly describes our encounter with these two awesome individuals...

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this

meeting that a new world is born." -Anais Nin
