Good Morning!

Every year the chaos of the first morning is a bit intense for the students! We wake them up at 6am, which is always a real treat for high school students in the summer. They are pretty good about it however, because they know that the work they have been preparing to do for the past 6 months is about to begin.

We are sitting in the dining area right now about to start our morning devotion time. This is a special time of the day where we get to hear from different people from Celebration Church. They encourage us as we set out and they usually tell us their Hurricane Katrina story. It is an awesome way for the team to connect with the people of New Orleans.

Yesterday was a long travel day! The first flight group arrived at the airport at 4:30 am, and the second flight group finally arrived in New Orleans just after 8pm, so it took the team a collective 13 1/2 hours to get here, but everyone had good attitudes all day! This team is made up of an amazing group of people. It is going to be really exciting to see how they do on site! We will post again after the work day, but until then, please be praying for us!
