After three plane rides, and an early morning, we made it to First Christian Church around 5:30pm. Rev. Susan, the pastor at FCC, and Floyd & Debbie met us here when we arrived to at the church to run through some things about the mission station. After dinner a group went out to do the food shopping, while other groups left to pick up things they left behind.
We're all getting ready for tomorrow's church service, as Jason, Richie & Rev Hilary are providing testimonies/sermons during the service. After church & a quick lunch, Josh Baird, our project manager through Disciples will lead us on a tour of New Orleans, visiting various areas that were damaged from Hurricane Katrina, including the 17th ward and the lower 9th ward. After the tour we'll all head into the French Quarter, where we'll split up and enjoy an evening of food and shopping.
Some photos from the flights and us in the mission station follow.
Till tomorrow ~ Richie
