The AustinOne project Saturday went well. From Liveoak we had Nelson, Chris and I out on the streets of east austin painting house numbers on curbs. Chris and I were on the same team with a girl, Karin. Nelson was part of another curb team and then helped out with another project - tearing up a driveway, I think. The day started out with a worship service and message by the singles pastor at Hyde Park Baptist. Then we headed out to our projects after a short speech by the police about not picking up crack pipes and try not to get shot. :0) It went smoothly once Chris figured out how to use a spray can (pointing it in the right direction helps!) We really don't have to worry about him being an illegal tagger or anything with his spray painting skillz. (kidding)
Here are a few pics from Saturday.

Chris and I (michele) in front of a house ready to paint numbers. My job was to get the right number stencils and put them together, then hold them for Chris to paint.

thanks for the update! you guys are awesome for enduring the crazy texas heat and serving the community.
thanks Blanca - it was quite toasty on the pavement. I only made the mistake once of sitting on the street. :0) -m
So cool. You guys are awesome and great examples of loving and serving. And it looks like you all had at least a tad bit of fun! Oh, and it is good to hear that Chris lacks the skills to get into too much tagging trouble.
