It's Wednesday morning, and our group is super excited to start another productive day down here in New Orleans. We were able to sleep in a few minutes later this morning, as we will not be having breakfast at Castle Rock as usual.... We have "top secretly" been invited to join the Cafe Reconcile team this morning for breakfast - YES INDEED! :-) While at Cafe Reconcile we will be able to chat with fellow inner city kids, getting a brief introduction as to how Cafe Reconcile has influenced their lives, sending them on the path to a successful future. For those of you like myself who have never heard of Cafe Reconcile until now; it is not just a "cafe" so to say. Not only does it provide yummy food to the locals, it also works with kids in the neighborhood, teaching them skills such as how to write a resume, interviewing skills, time and money management, proper etiquette.... The list goes on and on. It will be so great to see this program in action... We really have been fortunate to have received this invitation. Just an extra FYI about Cafe Reconcile is that they are known nation wide for their program.... They have been filmed for several documentaries and written about numerous times in well known magazines and the big one is that Laura Bush recently visited! Yes, that is correct.... The First Lady!!!!
Breakfast at Cafe Reconcile will be a wonderful kick off to the day, and then we will be back at Living Wittness Church, working hard to help them achieve their dream. It is going to be another great day.... I can feel it! :-)

Good to see the updates. We're praying that you work safely, are productive, and experience all the other blessings associated with serving.
How's the weather? Still cloudy and cool, with rain/snow the past couple of days and in the forecast for the end of the week. Makes me think of finding a way to sneak in for the next crew...
