Now In New Orleans- Saturday, July 17

Today we arrived in good old New Orleans and we are very happy to be here. We were reunited with Karen and Esther who flew down due to an orchestra concert. Once we were semi settled into the yellow house we met the interns and learned the house rules. After that we had about an hour to explore the city and then we had dinner at Popeye's where "everyday is Mardi Gras". Then we moved onto Castle Rock Church where we learned the cheers and chants and all the general rules. Now we are here. Stay tuned for our next update!!



Prayer requests:

Please pray for Andrew's ankle and for safety tomorrow as we learn the Challenge circle outside in the heat.



Poem!

Today we started in the van
This week will truly increase our tan
after setting us free
we took a picture under a tree
and decided to explore the city
After going to our rooms to unpack
we noticed the Superdome had been painted black.
