Mark &amp; I and our little brood are now halfway through our US\/Canada Lenten Tour, and faring very well, considering the rough start we had! I think Mark gave you just a few of the &quot;highlights&quot; off the top of the tour&#8230; the long list of mishaps would be really quite unbelievable, had I not been there too to vouch for it all having actually happened! Suffice it to say, the highlight so far has NOT been the flushing pedal stuck on the bus&#8217;s toilet sending gallons of unthinkably nasty stuff for a mad dash to the driver&#8217;s seat! (we survived, thanks to a serious bottle of heavy-duty disinfectant.) Rather, we have been blessed to see many hearts powerfully moved during the concerts, and have ourselves been blessed by tremendous hospitality. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>   UPCOMING SUMMER TOUR&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Amidst all the challenges and joys of traveling for two months with 7 kids, duty calls&#8230; and as the chief cook and bottle washer (ie. Mark&#8217;s manager), I continue to plan ahead for upcoming events. We have a number of confirmed bookings that are calling us back into the U.S. for another road tour in June &amp; July, this time along the upper mid-U.S. to the east coast, as well as lower Canada. Some of the states and provinces that we will be going through are:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong><font size=\"2\" face=\"Tahoma\"> 1) Saskatchewan\/Manitoba\/Ontario\/Quebec, Canada<br \/>   2) North Dakota<br \/>   3) Wisconsin<br \/>   4) Michigan<br \/>   5) Ohio<br \/>   6) New York state<br \/>   7) New Hampshire<br \/>   8 ) Vermont<br \/>   9) Connecticut<br \/>   10) Pennsylvania<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> I still have a few openings on the tour that need to be filled, but rather than spend a small fortune on the cellphone calling around, I thought I&#8217;d save the diaper money and connect via email with those who we know are supporters of this ministry. If you think your parish might be interested in hosting a powerful evening of music and message, please let me know, and if it works into the tour schedule &amp; route, I will help you make it happen! <\/p>\n<p> Please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/BookaChurchConcert.html\">https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/BookaChurchConcert.html<\/a> to find out about what&#8217;s involved in hosting Mark in your parish.<\/p>\n<p> Thank you all for your continued prayers and support of our little apostolate. We are so grateful for the prayer covering, it is so very needed!<\/p>\n<p> Blessings,<\/p>\n<p>Lea Mallett  <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"mailto:lea@markmallett.com?subject=Concert Booking\">lea@markmallett.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Hello, all!
