Onto Dallas, TX!

Hello there from Dallas, TX. We have since driven through Abilene as well as into Dallas and are now staying at a house from the Church in Coppell, TX, Riverside Church of Christ. We had an amazing weekend in Abilene. We got to see John and Tracy Calhoun and see John's parents for a while. It was a lot of fun to get to hang out without having to sing. It also was STACY'S BIRTHDAY!!! Happy 20th Stacy! We got to have a very fun dinner at Olive Garden for her birthday and it was great to be together as a group on her special day. On Saturday night we stayed in a hotel just outside of Dallas and woke up early to head over to the Highland Oaks Church of Christ. We sang a concert for their teen class and then got to have a great time of worship with the congregation there as we sang praise team with the worship minister at Highland, Chad. Now Highland Oaks for me was quite an experience. It is a HUGE church in Dallas. I'm talking like, 2000ish members and the biggest building I have ever seen!! It was crazy.

Sunday afternoon we met up with Clint Loveness, a former Pepperdine student, and hung out at his apartment all day and rested. Sunday night we headed to our current location in Coppell and sung a concert for the congregation at Riverside Church of Christ. We had a great time and sang a good concert. Stacy had her aunt and uncle and cousins at the concert tonight and so that was fun to get to see them and for her to get to spend time with her family.

We have a day off tomorrow to sleep in and have a fun day off. It should be a great time and we look forward to the rest of our stay in the Dallas area. Thanks to all who have made the past few days great for us! You truly have been a major blessing!
