Deep In The Heart Of Texas

That's where we are... traveling all around the great big state of Texas.

The tour has been going well so far. We have been having some very good concerts and meeting some wonderful people.

This past week was a fairly laid back week. We had two concerts on Sunday and then did rehearsal for a few hours on Monday.

Since we were in San Antonio, we did some sightseeing on Tuesday. The church that we were at on Sunday night hooked us up with free tickets to the IMAX theatre in downtown San Antonio, so we went there and watched The Alamo. Right after that, we walked over and saw the actual Alamo, and then we spent the next few hours on the Riverwalk. We got to eat lunch at a really cool restaurant called the Rainforest Cafe. It was a place full of animated jungle animals that came "alive" every ten minutes or so. You can check out some video footage of that on http://www.hearthunters.org/. It was pretty neat.

On Wednesday, we did some schooling, and then had another concert at night in Corpus Christi, Texas. Thursday, we did some more rehearsal and then went to the beach for a few hours. We did another concert on Thursday night at another church in Corpus. And then on Friday, we did schooling for a few hours and then traveled to Victoria, Texas, where we did another concert on Friday night. Saturday morning, we hung out and played games and ate lunch at the church in Victoria, and then drove on to Houston, where we met our host families for the night. Which brings me to right now... I am laying on my bed writing this post.

Tim is gone for the next few days... visiting family and friends, so that means I have to pull double duty until Thursday, all my normal stuff plus drive the bus. No major big drives, though, so it shouldn't be too bad.

The kids have been doing well... we have been having some rehearsal days to try to knock off some of those remaining rough edges, and they have been improving. Still some rough edges to knock off, but we're getting there.

Keep praying for us.

Later,

Michael
