Irish Tenors in Branson


Can't believe over 13 days at Lake of the Ozarks has come to an end. Today's our last day, and we plan to tour a cave in the state park and do some laundry (and blog).

On Tuesday, we drove to Branson, where there are over 100 musical shows from which to choose. Everything from Yakov Smirnoff to country to Andy Williams and Ann Margaret. We chose the Twelve Irish Tenors and were not disappointed. All of them had beautiful voices, were good looking and energetic. A great show! I'd like to go back and spend a week taking in two shows a day. And even that would not be enough time.

Yesterday, we drove to the south end of Lake of the Ozarks and found the New Tribes Mission grounds where Gene's daughter Lori went to language school. It sits on a cove on the lake with manicured grass, flowers and trees. A very inspirational setting for the 200 students studying for their mission work. These students will end up in various part of the world bringing the Bible to tribes who have never had the opportunity to hear the good word. We took lots of photos to show Lori. The housing of 30 years ago is still there, but there are also many new buildings as NTM grows to meet its needs.
