Nacogdoches got Talent Baby!

What a crazy, fun day! We started out the day eating leftovers for breakfast. Then we headed out to the church to start Servin' Hattie! We had three teams again today. An outreach team and the two other teams head back to the houses where we have been working. Danny's team finished painting and clearing Ms. Sharon's house as did Will and Andi's team at Ms. Hildea's house. Also, at Ms. Hildea's house, Emily thought up the idea to make a flower bed out of leftover bricks from one of the demolished houses
and it brought the biggest smile to Ms. Hildea's face! We planted a few bushes and some flowers, and we are going to plant a pink rosebush tomorrow.
The outreach team headed out with Ms. Shirley again to another nursing home. We had a great time the residents loved the songs and testimonies.
Since we were finished with Ms. Hildea's house we moved on to two other projects and Danny and Will took five kids back to Ms. Sharon's house. Most of the kids went to another house that hasn't been lived in to do some demolition! To say the least they were excited.
Will was on the grill for our contribution to the potluck. You cannot begin to imagine how good the food was! Fried chicken, dirty rice, potato salad and desserts! Yummmmm!
We had so much fun at the talent show performing and enjoying the talent of the Ebenezeer church! And THEN, the heavenly choir practice. Oh, I can't wait to sing like that!
We will check in tomorrow!


Pray that we would finish well and with great attitudes!
