We Have Arrived In Nawlins!

The day started with another rousing awakening in a hotel room. We ate, had devotions, packed and left at eight o’ clock. We only went through two states today and ended in New Orleans at around three. After we were welcomed in and given a tour of the house and then our trusty dusty youth pastor took us on a tour of our ministry area in the central (inner) city. We had supper at Popeye’s. We learned some cheers and chants during orientation at the Castle Rock Church. We finished up the orientation and then some of us helped set up for breakfast for the next day as well as make lunch for our team. Our day ended with three-minute showers and blogging.

Praises and Prayer: We praise God that we finally got to New Orleans in one piece and realized that the thing following us through eight states was just the trailer. We are also thankful for the great teams down here and the ease of moving in.

Please pray for continued team bonding and relationships between the teams; also for witnessing to the kids this week. Pray for Andrew & McKenzie who fly in to New Orleans and Tami Bostrom and Sons, and Gary Weldon who will arrive by train on Sunday.

We are sorry for the lack of poem tonight but we don’t have time. We shall write two tomorrow
