Today was the first official day of the New Orleans trip. We went from Pleasanton, Iowa to Memphis, Tennessee. We left at 7:00 am and, after some initial issues, arrived in Memphis at 7:30 pm (the van I was driving got to the church 10 minutes before the next van). I drove the entire trip and was ready to get out of the van when we got here. Of course the first thing I did was sit down when I got inside, but I had a couple pieces of pizza staring me in the face. Tomorrow we will be leading the church service and then there will be a potluck so that we will be stuffed for the next 7 hour leg of our trip as we get to our final destination. I'm sure tomorrow will be much more eventful as it won't be a full day of driving. The real stuff begins at 9:00 am Monday; that is when we will be getting down and dirty.
I have met a lot of great people. I have realized that they truely want to be here, for whatever reason, and that they will enjoy it. I look forward to getting to know as many of them as I can. I know that I won't get to know everyone but I will do my best.
I am already anxious to get back home to see the great job Molly will be doing to the house and getting a lot of stuff organized and cleaned up. I can't wait to see all 3 of the girls too.
