Team 2 Arrives

Team 2 arrived safely in New Orleans Saturday night after two days of great driving.  Friday night we stayed with Dick and Gwen Slater of Famington, MO.  Gwen prepared a great breakfast for us and the Stalters could not have been most hospitable. 

Saturday we met up with Team 1 at a gas station just south of Farmington and we heard of all the great projects that were waiting for us in New Orleans.  Team 1 seemed tired but incredibly blessed.  Keys were exchanged and we were on our way.

Before we arrived in New Orleans, we had dinner at Cracker Barrel.  Aside from the amazing food, our waitress recognized our shirts and went on to talk about past groups that have stopped through in the past.  She was truly happy that we were continuing to help in the area and very glad that people continue to remember New Orleans.

Sunday morning was spent at Living Witness Church.  After the 9am Bible study was around the subject of "doing" and not just "listening."  The subject was the perfect message for us being that it acted as a booster shot of sorts.  Living Witness has communion on the first Sunday of every month,and sharing that was a perfect way to end the service.

This afternoon we drove around the lower 9th ward to see how the area has progressed.  The first thing you see when you enter the ward is the monument which represents how fast the water rose when the levy broke.  

Afterwards, Andy drove us to Wal-Mart, where we passed the Superdome no less than three times.

Tomorrow we will continue where Team 1 left off.  God surely has great things in store for this team
