Hello Family and Friends,

Wow! This tour has been really awesome and a great experience. Right now we are on our way to San Sebastain , Spain. I am happy because we finally get to use some of our Spanish skills.  So far both bands have done an excellent job. I cannot speak for everyone, but from my perspective we have all been doing our best and giving our all into the performances. Honestly if I could do this over all over again I would because it is a beautiful sight to see. It is such an honor and privilege to be here and I have learned so much and plan to take everything within my knowledge everywhere that I go. Being apart of the Jazz band has not only taught me some more about discipline, but it has taught me how to be a performer. I would like to thank Mr. Jaramillo for all of his help. I appreciate everything and the support from everyone. I was not expecting for all of this to happen within the last six months. Jazz has been a whole new turn around in my life and it has just been great. [I get speechless sometimes and sometimes it is breath taking].

I thank God for the blessings that He has bestowed upon my life. Hi Mom, Pop a.k.a. Dad, Trishawnna, and Azariah, I LOVE YOU GUYS so much  and I really wish that you all could be here. I truly miss you all. Mom, Dad you are the best![To my other family members thanks for your love and support].Words cannot express how much I thank you for letting me come to Europe. I have been enjoying myself and I also went to a Pat Metheny concert [awesome Jazz guitarist]…it was awesome, uhm…mom you can look him up if you want to do so. Well I love you all and I will continue to keep everyone in my prayers and I hope that you all will do the same for me. 

P.S. –This is not the end, it is just the beginning. Mom [complements everywhere…L.O.L.] I love you and keep this in mind Mark 11:23-24 and John 14:14.

Love,
Le’Courtenay Long
