We had another great day yesterday. We spent the day in the interaction center playing games, seeing displays from locations all around the world and meeting people from across the country. It is amazing how small the Lutheran world is!

For supper last night we all sampled authentic New Orleans food in the French quarter. Some folks had catfish, some had muffalettas (a type of New Orleans sandwich) and some had po' boys. Everyone agreed that the food was really good. Tonight we might do something more mundane like Pizza!

Yesterday we had another wonderful gathering at the Superdome. We heard some amazing speakers and listened to some amazing bands. It truly is remarkable to feel the energy of 37, 000 people singing, dancing and praising God.

This morning we are headed out for our service day. We are scheduled to go to a local elementary school to help children learn how to read. It should be an interesting day!

This afternoon we have some free time to tour more of the city and then we have another gathering tonight in the Superdome. Everyone is doing really well, eating well and having a great time. I hope you are too!
