New Orleans was so much fun!!!! I'm going to write about what happened after Thursday, our last blog. Friday we did day camp at a basketball court and hung out with the kids except for some of us who went to pray for New Orleans and some of us went to a different basketball court and hang out there. After that we went to the French quarter and walked around and went to the French Market and some of us bought stuff there. Later on Friday we didn't have challenge circle but we still got to hang out with the kids there and say our last goodbyes. Some of us got some of the kid's addresses so that we could write them after we left.
Early Saturday morning we got up and said goodbye to the groups we had been hanging out with for a week, ate supper, and packed up the van and left for our long two day trip home.On Sunday we woke up, packed the van and left by 7:00 and started our 11 hour journey home, filled with naps in the van. At 5:45 we entered the church parking lot and were welcomed by our families, but before we got out of the van we prayed and thanked God for our trip and a little later we cleaned out the van and everyone was ready to head home.
Praises and Prayer: We thank God so much for the opportunity to go down to New Orleans and for the great time we had. We also thank him for the safe trip down and back and for the impact it made on our lives and the lives of the kids in New Orleans. Please pray that we'd take what we learned from New Orleans and continue to use it in our lives no matter where we are. Also continue to pray for New Orleans, God is doing awesome things there.We thank all of you who prayed for us while we were down there and anyone who donated money, this trip would be impossible without you.
Now for our final poem =)
While we were in New Orleans we had a blast
So our time went by really fast
We had so much fun
Even in the hot sun
We can't believe that our trip has already passed
