It is Monday evening and we had a great day getting out to our jobs sites and starting to work. The weather is beautiful! It is around 80 degrees and sunny. Some of us got sunburned while others were smart enough to put on sun tan lotion. Yesterday, we attended the 8:00 a.m. worship service and had a wonderful time worshipping with the church here. After church, we headed to New Orleans to do a little sightseeing. We hung out in the French Quarter for a couple of hours and admired the beautiful architecture and ate lunch on the shore of the Mississippi River. We watched ships and paddle boats passing by. Then most of us went to Waveland, Mississippi to play volleyball on the beach. This is the site where they say the eye of the hurricane struck. Most of the houses on the shoreline are gone. This morning (Monday) bright and early--around 7:00 a.m.-- we got up, ate breakfast, and headed off to our various work sites. Mary VDM had fun catching a dangerous looking spider--she did accidently kill it getting it into a bottle. We have also encounted several roaches, dead rats, and mice. Some have entertained themselves catching geckos--I think they caught three. Overall, we had a great day and we look forward to working for the next several days. God Bless!

We are so glad the weather is cooperating for you there, and that you were able to enjoy some of the sights in New Orleans. (Hopefully those who got sunburned aren't too uncomfortable!!) You can bring back some of that warmer weather and sun too, although the weekend here has been just beautiful. Looks like we will be getting some rain and maybe even a T-storm or two after tonight. We will pray for a good work week and no more little critters for Mary VDM to catch... May you have a great time with one another and a positive impact on those who you are serving this week. God Bless!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
I tried to call a couple of chaperones but I wasn't successful so I'll leave a comment especially for you, Hannah!
