It was back on the road today. We had a fairly easy drive so we got to turn the kids lose today in the mall of all malls. The Galleria in Houston complete with ice skating rink and Needless Markups (Neiman Marcus). After that it was just a short ride up to The Woodlands where a wonderful church was waiting on us. We talked about what a difference it makes when you arrive somewhere and you can tell they are really excited to have you there.
We arrived to a beautiful sanctuary, a wonderful music director who helped Emily work with the kids, and a great home cooked meal. We shared stories and desserts after the concert and now the kids have all gone to home stays where they are hoping to strike it rich in the McMansions of this somewhat affluent neighborhood. I'm sure they will all have great stories in the morning.
We got to Houston today and realized that about a third of the boys had left some portion of their uniform in the hotel in San Antonio. That's what happens when you let them stay somewhere for two nights! They sure can sing though!
It was good to be singing again. You could tell this was a musical congregation and they appreciated what they heard. They are trying to start their youth choirs again so it was inspiring for them to see our group. Tomorrow it's off to meet up with Nick Villaume in his home town of Lake Charles.
Some close up, candids from the day:
In related news, the call came in around 3:00 today that my camera had been found. It's now en route to Atlanta!

The Woodlands Pres. Church was happy to host yall. We had fun and hope soon that we can bring a group your way and start this friendship between our two church's. We pray that the children and adults will come back and visit again. Keep in touch and search our youth group on facebook so all the kids can stay connected
