What a day! It started off with a wonderful breakfast of eggs (cooked by Richie), pancakes (cooked by Sarah H), and Bacon/Sausage (cooked by Hilary). After breakfast we attended First Christian Church's Sunday Service, where Hilary, Richie & Jason provided testimonies that were well received by the whole congregation.
After church, Josh Baird, proud new father of three month old twins, who is our mission manager through Disciples met with us, and then led us on a tour through New Orleans to visit three areas that were hit the most, including the community of Lakeview (near the 17th Canal), and the Lower Ninth Ward. Many pictures were taken, some of which that I took can be found at the link below. Hopefully I'll have a bunch of other pictures soon from everyone else.
Then we drove into the French Quarter where we got to experience the New Orleans culture, including walking down Bourbon St, eating the local cuisine, and viewing some famous sites.
Once we got back around 10pm, some of us hit the sack right away while others played an intense but hilarious game of Apples to Apples.
We all can't wait for tomorrow as we'll learn of our work stations, and will begin working on the house. We hope to have pictures of our work site(s) tomorrow, and hopefully some reflections from people other than myself.
Till tomorrow ~ Richie
