Welcome to NOLA

Today, we all broke up into separate groups to do different work. My group stayed back at the church to do some cleaning to help the people who are nice enough to host us here. We cleaned for about two hours, and then we had the rest of the day to relax.

Unfortunately, there’s not really too much to do here, so we had to make our own fun, which included putting together children’s puzzles and other things of that nature. We also spent a great portion of the day texting the people who were actually out at the work sites. We were happy to see them when they got back. Sara and I started what I deemed a “big kid’s puzzle”, which is now being continued by everyone in the group.

We ate dinner here and then spent the rest of the evening in the French Quarter and spent some time on Bourbon Street. It was a really great time and spent the night bonding together. I feel like it was one of those breakthrough moments for the group where we all came together. It was quite magical.
