I'm not checking spelling tonight, let's see how it goes. (Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a horrible speller?)
Thur: Back to teams 1 and 2 again and everyone worked great. 19,000 lbs of food was packaged by team 2 in 3 hours causing the North Texas Food Bank people to go crazy. They said they've never seen a group like us. Team 1 had a very very hard day. The guys of Team 1 cooked for and served about 300 homeless men. It was very good and effective. The ladies of Team 1 weeded a local playground. Hannah Mountjoy and Lori Harris even weedeated (is that a word?) the entire place!!!
We went out to eat at an awesome chicken place, get this, our students were so well behaved and so into each other that people came to me to compliment them. They have been great and have made a difference every where we've gone.
Thursday night was amazing and very very encouraging to us all, ask your kids to tell you.
Fri: Team 2 completed house number 3 and team 4 completed house number 4. Heath Mountjoy, Ethan Robinson, Hannah Mountjoy and David Roney built a front porch stair railing for an elderly lady. They dug the hole, set the post, mixed the concrete, sawed the wood (with power tools) and built it. Very nice. The rest of the girls (except for Lauren Peyton) painted, while the rest of the guys (and Lauren Peyton) demolished an outbuilding. Christian and Nate D laid a lamenant floor at a doctor's office for the homeless, which was very cool and everyone else straight up worked their rear ends off.
We finished the night at a Texas Rangers baseball game, it was lots of fun. Today before we left Dallas we visited Dealy Plaza and the 6th Floor Museum in the Texas Schoolbook Depository, a very good experience as well.
Every where we went in Dallas, people have pulled me aside to compliment YOUR kids, they have been an example for Christ.
The plan is to be back at the church fellowship hall around 7pm tomorrow night.
