I just want to apologize that it has taken so long to get a new post online! We have been away from Internet access for quite some time now and so it has been tough to write to you all! We are now in Lafayette, Louisiana! Crazy how time and distance travels. Following the Dallas area, we drove to West Monroe, LA and got to sing for a Church there that Won By One hadn't sang at in over 9 years! It was so much fun. The Church packed their fellowship hall and we sang a great concert for them and had a great time getting to get to know many from the church. Following West Monroe, we headed to Baton Rouge where we got to sing at Camp Smiling Acres. This was a ton of fun! We got there in time for dinner with the campers, then sang out concert and had a blast. The kids were nuts and we really had a fun time singing for them. Teen crowds are always more fun cause they are so full of life and energy. It was a great time. We ended up staying the night and got to hang out some more with the teens at the camp. The following day on Friday, we got to stay the day at the camp and play sports with them. We added to their counselor soccer and volleyball teams as the staff battled the campers. Not gonna lie; we helped the counselors own in both! It was a fun day and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with all those who were at the camp. It was a great treat for us and we really were blessed to get to spend time there. After we spent the day Friday at the camp, we drove to Lafayette where we were tonight. We had a lot of fun singing tonight considering we were pretty worn out from the long day of summer camp we had, haha. We got to go out to dinner with the minister and his wife as well as the guys host dad, Mike, and we had a lot of fun.
Tomorrow we are getting to go to New Orleans and have a free day. It should be quite an experience and we plan to have a fun time together as we explore more all that the US has to offer us on this tour.
Sorry again for not posting in a while, but I hope you are well and God Bless you guys. Thanks to all who have made tour so much fun thus far. You have truly been a blessing to us.

I hope you guys got to experience Cafe Du Mont in New Orleans! It's great. WX1 went there pre-katrina when i was in the group...
there was a thunder storm...it was crazy...
God bless you guys!
Ok, I'll accept your account of the Camp Smiling Acres awesomeness :) And it's true: y'all definitely were major assets in our staff-camper game! But don't worry, we have our own skills too, so we kept up the momentum of the day - that afternoon we were killing them in softball, until it got thunderstormed out. Anyway! Thanks again for coming. It was a fun surprise for everyone. Hope you have a great rest of your tour!
