Day two

I know this is a little late but I had no internet connection last night. Here is an update of yesterday:

We started off the day by getting donuts from Wal-Mart for breakfast. We then attended Sunday school (most of us attended a class being taught around John 3:16). We then led the worship service. Everyone did a great job with their parts. It was great to meet the members of the Memphis congregation and see their wonderful church. After the service we had an outstanding potluck. Our time in Memphis was amazing!

We then set out on our last 6 hours on the road. Thankfully it didn't feel like 6 hours! I spent a good part of the first "leg" of the trip talking to Ryan Holler about a lot of things. He was very interested in the professional IT world as he is studying to be a system administrator. Everyone in the van was awake for the entire trip (I couldn't say that about Saturday's trip). We were able to talk a little bit and joke around.

We arrived in New Orleans around 8:30 last night. We were greeted by the directors of Youth With A Mission at one of their youth lodges. The building is amazing! The main floor has been remodeled after some damage sustained during Katrina. We were then given our instructions for our day and a general outline of our week. The day starts at 9:00 this morning; we are leaving the lodge around 8:45. Today is filled with excitement and anxiousness. It will be nice to get in the house and get going!
