We'll Be Back!

We left Paducah at 6 a.m. for our mission trip to New Orleans. After an exciting first pit stop in Blythville, Arkansas--where the rest stop consisted of two small trailers and a lot of red construction fencing, followed by a 24-hour C-Store with a sign in the window that said "be back in a few minutes"--we made great time getting here.

Once arriving in NOLA, we met Rev. Vance Moore of Westside Christian Church. Westside is the home of a DOC "mission station"--a building with 50 bunk beds, a full kitchen and dining area, and restrooms and showers. Very nice accomodations!!! After visiting with Brother Vance, and getting our bearings, we claimed our bunks, unloaded the van, and set off in search of groceries for the following day.

Later in the evening the second group working with Westside for this week arrived...a group from of five men from Indianapolis.

That's it for now! We're off to bed to rest up for our first day of work tomorrow!
