Travel!

4 am is not a happy time of the morning for any teenager. However, we all made it (somewhat) on time! The first plane ride was filled with a cacophony of snores and yawns as we all slept and rested off our early start. When we arrived in Houston we were all ready for lunch and to be done with flying. After landing in New Orleans and being told that we were "the most well-behaved group of teenagers they had ever seen" by the flight attendant, we sat and waited for the rental vans. In the meantime, we played quack-diddly-o-so and duck duck goose, and other maritime activities. We then proceeded to walk into a wall of moisture known as "New Orleans air". Upon arrival to Celebration Church we were greeted by Toni, the Outreach Ministries Director of the church. She spent a good amount of time explaining the rules and regulations...whoo. For dinner, we hit Cici's pizza, pasta, and salad buffet. After devouring a combined total of around 1 Billion Kajillion calories worth of pizza, pasta, and salad (most of which were consumed by our good friend, Chris Amdahl), we arrived back at the church to find not 1, not 2, but THREE fire trucks in the parking lot. Then two left. Fear not, do not fret. It was an accidental trip of the fire alarm. Tonight's worship was led by the ever-so-talented Mollie Coker and Carl Peralta-Clark. The lesson, given by Gary Hundrup, was about finding your goal and God's purpose for you in life. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone got something out of his talk and that we are all now SUPER PUMPED to start our ministry work tomorrow. Day over.
