This is a shorter version of the previous post.
We returned safely from New Orleans (NOLA) last night. The trip had its ups and downs, but was overall very good. I'm still a little tired and not necessarily completely coherent.
Here's a quick recap of the trip:
Friday night/Saturday: Travel to NOLA, settling in at the two churches where we would be staying.
Sunday: Church in Slidell, alligator watching, St. Patrick's day Parade, tour of NOLA, College student Walmart run.
Monday: First day of work projects, spontaneous hymn sing at the big chuch before we left for work projects. Crawfish night. I learned that I am very very allergic to crawfish and that I have great friends who will take me to the hospital and make sure I get taken care of.
Tuesday: Second day of work projects. Due to my benadryl and steroid cocktail I slept most of the day. Amazing small group and worship time about resting in G-d's arms. Found out I'd been accepted to Western for next year!
Wednesday: Third day of work projects. Again I slept most of the day. College students fed the homeless and went out for dinner.
Thursday: Fourth and last day of work projects. I was awake for more of the day, but still slept most of the afternoon. We left for home at about 11:30pm.
Friday: driving home all day. Again, I slept for most of it. Arrived safely back in Pella at about 5:30 pm, just in time for it to start snowing.
Work projects:
Gerald's house: siding, flooring, hot water heater, weeding-finished. Hallelu-JAH!
Arthur's house: painting the porch, staining the floor, replacing screens, replacing glass in the door- finished. Hallelu-JAH!
Slidell church: landscaping, weeding, planting shrubberies, mulching-finished. Hallelu-JAH!
Thrift store: not sure, painted a mural on the wall, did other stuff-finished. Hallelu-JAH!
Other church: painted and other stuff- finished. Hallelu-JAH!
Other projects: dirt moving, soffitting, painting, weeding, etc- finished. Hallelu-JAH!
