Day two...it gets better...

Your youth made you soooo proud at Metairie Ridge Presbyterian church.  I have pics but we'll post tomorrow.  suffice it to say that about 40 people worshiped with us, or rather we worshiped with them.  They even moved to the front even though no one thought they would.  It was a beautiful service.

We have lucked out with the forecast...much rain expected but that will keep the temps in the high 80's instead of the high 90's.  Good for us.  We spent several hours in the French Quarter.  Joe loves beignets...surprised even him.  Never ask Adam Utley for directions.  Carolyn can manage to not make friends with strangers when asked.  Yes, Meghan, it is true that people try to pick your pockets or steal your stuff.  (She was smart and ready, BTW.)

Houma is big-sky beautiful.  We are living in folded paper tents.  (See what you have to tune in to see tomorrow?!)  There are huge black bugs...crickets on steroids...and little green tree frogs are EVERYWHERE.  It is so wild that Carolyn decided against snacks in her pod.  Smart....

We have eaten too many hot dogs.  Probably will eat more.  Joe insists only on Kraft mayo and eats it on peanut butter sandwiches...eewww.  We all sweat.  We all are exhausted but are looking forward to sleeping well in our tinfoil...

Grace and peace!
