Day 4 - Hawaii

What an amazing view from todays filming location!

Today was probably one of the those 'testing our patients' kind of days.
Each day we plan to film 3 songs - today we managed 1!

The plan was to film 2 songs at the very top of the mountain then pack up and move half way back down the mountain and record the 3rd song. When we reached the top of the mountain it was foggy and rainy and the visibility was very low. So we trundled back down the mountain and set up in the other spot.

All these photos are from this location.

I was amazed that there were no barriers at the edges of these look outs - it was just straight over the cliff! We ran an extention cord along the edge as a marker that the students weren't to go over.

Todays song was "I Sing the Mighty Power of God" - Kyle had a singing solo in it and Tamzin had the cello solo - so that was cool. That is Kyle standing out on his own.


Tamzin doing her thing. Playing these songs is a challenge as they don't have music - makes it interesting for them to keep their bows all going in the same direction!


When the sun came out it was quite hot - who needs a sun umbrella when you have a cello!


After finishing filming this song we packed everything up and headed back up the mountain, only to find that it was still misty and drizzly. Even so they decided to pack everything into the filming site and set it up and film after we had eaten lunch.
During lunch the rain seemed to get heavier and the wind got stronger. So strong in fact that it blew the porta-loo tent over - you guessed it, the porta-loo tipped upside down too - yuk is all I can say!.

So the executive decision was made to pack everything up and head back to camp.

At first I felt myself wondering why this had happened, why God didn't just make the weather clear up for us. But you know, the amount of people those students spoke to and witnessed to while we were waiting their was amazing. God had other plans for us today - who knows why, but we just have to trust that that is where he wanted us to be today.

Tomorrow is Sabbath and is going to be a slower day. There is the option to go to church or to go into the great outdoors. I think our van will be checking out the sites of Kauai.

Well, I am very tired and quite exhusted. My sunburn kept me awake most of the night last night so I am ready to hit the hay - till tomorrow...............
