Friday began with a 2-hour boat tour of the Louisiana Bayou. Everyone enjoyed getting an up-close look at the local wildlife while driving through the watery roads of the Cyprus swamp. Later on the long bus ride to Houston, everyone participated in the daily Bible Study led by Josh. In it, we are exploring the question "What are we here for?" and trying to learn the purposes for not only this Tour, but also for our lives.
The next stop was at the Texas Childrens' Hospital where New Voice performed in the dialysis unit and the full choir sang in the hospital lobby. Afterwards, everyone was able to unwind at the local mall before heading back to the hotel (a very nice one! Thanks, Glenn!) where they could enjoy the pool and hot tub and have Examen time.

Today while on our swamp tour, the guide asked our group of kids to sing- 11 youth plus Josh sang Bless His Holy Name. I think it may have rivaled the performance of the full choir last night at Prejeans! Try to imagine it for yourself so that you can get chill bumps too: we’re in a quiet, wooded part of the swamp, searching for gators, with our Jesus-witnessing guide filming the performance, and a small choir of angels sing praises to our Lord!

Today we toured the swamplands in Louisiana. This is the first time I’ve been on choir tour as well as the first time I’ve toured a swampland. As the 14 people in our group piled into the rickety boat that would be our only life support against the hungry alligators, I prayed we wouldn’t sink. The tour turned out to be extremely enjoyable. We saw alligators basking in the sun, great blue herons, and thousands of dragonflies. It gave me a different perspective of all the beautiful things God has created in this world. From the graceful dragonfly that protected us from mosquitoes, to the mighty alligators that allowed us to get close enough to take a picture, these creatures were magnificent and amazing.
