Day Five

Hello again!! Today was another busy day for our group here in New Orleans. We left the hotel at about 7:30, avioded some of the rush hour traffic, got to Robin and Karen’s, and got right to work. Our first task was to finish priming anything that we had missed the previous days so we could start painting. This went fairly quick, thanks to Tony and a paint sprayer. After Tony did the bulk of the painting, we touched up a few things. On the inside, they hung sheetrock, did some electrical work, and some more various carpentry. Also, Robin and Karen brought us some crawfish today and taught us how to eat it.

We stopped a little early today so we could do some sightseeing. At about 4:00 we headed out of the hotel to go to the French Quarter. We shopped for a little while and stopped at the Cafe’ Du Monde, which is a landmark streetside cafe’ right off of Jackson Square. After that, we drove through the garden district, which is the home of some BEAUTIFUL historic homes. For dinner, we went to the food court at the mall across the street, then did some shopping.

Right now everybody is winding down and just hanging out. We have another early morning tomorrow, so I better get off. Once again, I’m so proud of our group and how well they’re representing Christ. Everybody has worked really hard, and we’ve accomplished a lot!

For all concerned parties, everyone is safe and healthy.

Thanks again for all your prayers!!
