Voice Lesson!

Last week the four of us were given the opportunity to learn some great vocal exercises from a college music major named Jenna, who was visiting the Tingelstads' home.

We laid on the floor to work on proper breathing techniques.

Here Hannah and Katelyn are working on projecting their voices by focusing on a spot far away, and pretending that spot is their audience.

We were so thankful for the chance to learn from such a sweet Christian young lady. We learned so much! Thank you, Jenna!

Two Harbors

Snow, snow, beautiful snow! Who would have thought? Well....we didn't, because we headed off to Two Harbors, Minnesota last Saturday night. We had very pleasent weather all the way there, but once we got there, it started to snow and it kept on snowing practically the whole time. It snowed so much that we decided to stay an extra night. I (Hannah) was okay with that because it only meant another day to shop! We had a wonderful time at the Two Harbors Evangelical Free Church. The people there were very welcoming! We all agreed afterward that it was one of our most fun concerts ever!

This picture was actually taken by my driveway in Bemidji when we got back.

The first night we stayed, we watched Chonda Pierce in the lobby of the hotel!

This would be my mom using her magnifying glass for a mirror.


We look a little cold in this picture, don't we? There were people in wetsuits kayaking out on the lake! Now that's cold!

We got a really nice deal on the second hotel we stayed at. The lady at the counter told us we could have all the cookies we wanted and we didn't even have to sing! What a Deal!

All of our stuff!

So we get to the 3rd floor and Mrs. T. can't find the room keys. This went on throughout our stay. We had to keep our eyes on her at all times if we wanted to get back into our rooms!

Just our luck. They had a little water slide in the hotel we just happend to stop at! What fun! (We even got Mrs. T. to go down it a few times!)

This trip was full of so many things--growing closer together, laughing, swimming, staying up late, and most importantly: meeting other people who were on fire for God! This will be a trip we will not soon forget!

Update!

Here is an update on what we, Freedom’s Call, have been up to lately. We are all busy with school, and of course all the homework that always seems to tag along with that. After school, Hannah heads to softball practice and Katelyn and I (Eliza) head to golf. Both softball and golf started a few weeks ago, a sure sign of spring, we hope! Along with all that, we keep busy with music lessons, music practice, and a Bible study for younger girls called Bright Lights, which we have been helping with. On weekends, we have the privilege of performing at different churches and other places. Last weekend, we played at New Salem Lutheran Church in Turtle River and at the Good Samaritan Center in Clearbrook. We have also been working on new songs for our second CD, which has been a lot of fun, and also hard work. Thanks so very much Mindy, Melanie, and Mrs. Berge for your patience and guidance, helping us in this process! We will be recording the CD this summer at ELM Studios in Wisconsin, which is where we recorded before. Keep watching for it to come out! Well, that pretty much sums it all up and hopefully brings you more up to date on the lives of those of us in Freedom’s Call.
