I want to make the TextLabel change its text when you hit with a tool

Hello developers,
Today I wanted to create a survival type game and I managed to make a script that when you hit trees with a Axe tool, the trees change their transparency until they become invisible and after a few seconds they return to normal. My problem is this: I want to make a ScreenGui with a TextLabel, and at each hit with the tool I want the number of materials (wood) to appear in the TextLabel.
Could you please help me? Thank you.

This is the local Script that I placed it in the Axe tool.

local tool = script.Parent
local maxTransparency = 1.0
local waitTime = 1.0  -- Adjust this value to set the wait time in seconds
local resetTime = 10.0  -- Adjust this value to set the reset time in seconds
local canHit = true
local woodCount = 0  -- Variable to keep track of the wood count

-- Find or create the TextLabel in PlayerGui
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local woodCountLabel = playerGui:FindFirstChild("WoodCountLabel")

if not woodCountLabel then
	woodCountLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
	woodCountLabel.Name = "WoodCountLabel"
	woodCountLabel.Text = "Wood: 0"
	woodCountLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
	woodCountLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, -100, 0, 10)
	woodCountLabel.Parent = playerGui
end

local function setTransparency(part)
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		local newTransparency = part.Transparency + 0.4
		part.Transparency = math.min(newTransparency, maxTransparency)

		-- Disable collisions only when the part becomes completely transparent
		part.CanCollide = part.Transparency < 1.0
	end
end

local function handleTreeModel(treeModel)
	if treeModel and treeModel:IsA("Model") then
		for _, part in pairs(treeModel:GetDescendants()) do
			setTransparency(part)
		end
		woodCount = woodCount + 1

		-- Update the TextLabel directly
		woodCountLabel.Text = "Wood: " .. woodCount
	else
		warn("Invalid tree model:", treeModel)
	end
end

-- Add a function to set the current tree when the player clicks on it
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if canHit then
		canHit = false  -- Prevent further hits until wait time is over

		local mouse = player:GetMouse()
		local target = mouse.Target

		if target and target:IsA("BasePart") and target.Parent and target.Parent:IsA("Model") and target.Parent.Name == "tree" then
			handleTreeModel(target.Parent)
		else
			warn("No valid tree selected.")
		end

		wait(waitTime)  -- Wait for the specified time before allowing another hit
		canHit = true   -- Enable hitting again after the wait time
	end
end)

-- Timer to reset transparency after a certain time
while true do
	wait(resetTime)

	-- Reset the tree transparency back to 0
	for _, descendant in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if descendant:IsA("BasePart") and descendant.Parent and descendant.Parent:IsA("Model") and descendant.Parent.Name == "tree" then
			descendant.Transparency = 0
			descendant.CanCollide = true
		end
	end
end
