Helloooo!!!!! Greetings from Nowlyans!
Happy Easter! Jesus is risen!
To add to Tanner's post.....today was really awesome! Day one and we are already having a blast. This morning we attended the service at the church that we are calling home this week, Trinity Church. It was a great service, the pastor talked about Matthew 11: Jesus's yoke is light. Although something I have heard my whole life, it was really powerful and fresh. A lot of us were really impacted by the service. Later on we headed down to New Orleans (across the 20-something mile long bridge....) and spent sometime getting a feel for the city. Wow. What a cool city. We saw several musicians out on the streets playing. We watched some guys doing a pretty cool 'breakdance' show.....they were really good. Vicky and I got to bust-a-move with them in the beginging before they started.....a whole new side of me has come out ;). During the show, Corinne got flipped over. I am not sure if any of that makes sense but just wait till you see the videos :). We also got to try some typical New Orleans food- Crawfish (which I reluctantly tried and surprisingly really like...but only when Paul opens it for me, the face is too much for me) and Jumbalya, yum. We saw the Superdome and seeing it really struck me just thinking about how during Katrina it was packed with desperate and scared people. God held off the rain and we had a dry day :). I have already begun to see God working in my life and other people have told me they are already seeing God too (as if God wouldn't have big plans :) ). Continue to keep us up in your prayers! Tomorrow we begin our work! We love and miss you all!!!
