Greetings from New Orleans! We made it safely here after about a twenty hour bus ride. Most of the kids were able to get some sleep. You know sleeping upright in a seat is really hard!
Last night we got settled in our hotel and went to our first gathering at the Superdome. We heard wonderful speakers and great music. Just imagine 37,000 people cheering and having a good time celebrating Christ's love for all of us!
All of us were really happy to sleep in real beds last night and everyone slept really, really well.
Tonight will be our second Superdome event and we will hear more bands and hear Jay Bakker speak. This afternoon we will see some displays about the ELCA at the convention center, ride a New Orleans streetcar and visit the French quarter. As I write this right now, your kids are doing some shopping.
Later in the week we will help kids read at a local elementary school and do some learning about New Orleans culture. Everyone is in good spirits and having a great time. You should be proud of all of them! God bless!
