Week 1: Florida Blvd. Baptist Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

wow.. the end of the first week has come and gone... it felt like it just started...

the show was great!! The kids were wonderful in their roles in 2 Tickets to Hollywood... this years summer musical.... it's about two sisters in the 1930's who accidently end up auditioning at monumental studios for a new role in a famous actors new movie.... they get mistaken for twins and end up in a bind when one sister lies and the lie spreads and the sisters have to tell the truth...

It's a wonderful story of redemption and forgiveness.... :-)

2nd... BIG NEWS.. I got to have a "role" in my first EVER Frick and Frack show... it was AMAZING... granted. it was an offstage speaking role... but nonetheless... it was fun!!! :-D

The kids had a great time and the staff did as well... we only had one little boy who got worked up and had to sit back stage during the second half of the show.... but it's amazing what a notepad of paper and a bag of markers can do for a 5 year old who is bawling his eyes out in the middle of the show... :-) haha... poor little Brennan... he got better... and we ALMOST got him back on stage... but he didn't want to.. so we sat with him back stage and watched him draw when we weren't working...

it's those times when you just have to smile.... and know that God is everywhere in every situation and can help you handle every little problem the devil throws at you...

tomorrow starts week 2 in Ruston, La at Temple Baptist Church...

the church service was great this morning... the college pastor was filling in for the Senior pastor... and the sermon was about not just being a half way christian... but to cheer for God.... ALL THE TIME!!! we cheer for sports teams but yet when it comes to God... our cheers are not always out loud... We'll sit in sleet snow and hail for a football game... but we skip church for rain... hmmm... seems a little silly to me...

i enjoyed the service... the worship was blended and very energetic.... one of the nicest services I have been to in a long time... :-)

okay..well it's late... and I have an early morning tomorrow... write more soon!!! :-)

In Christ,
Katie
