Safe and Sound in New Orleans

Well we arrived safe and sound in New Orleans at about 7:45 central time last night and we all feel blessed to finally be here. I never thought I would be excited about a night sleeping on an air mattress but after two nights twisted like a pretzel in the van the air mattress felt like a feather bed.

Other than a flat tire and a chicken under the van in Tennessee the trip went very smoothly.I took a lot of video on the trip but we are having some internet difficulty and I hope to get them online sometime today.

Here is a video of the chicken:


Today we get one day of rest! Church this morning and maybe a real New Orleans parade this afternoon. Tomorrow the work begins we will be splitting up 8 groups and doing a variety of projects all over New Orleans. There are 37 people on this trip and we are hoping to get a lot of good done while we are here.

The weather here is great it is sunny and should be in the 80's today beats the New York cold.

Over the next few days I hope to post videos of the work we are doing and also the stories of some of the people we are helping so be sure to keep checking in and pray that I can fix my internet issues.
