First Day In New Orleans

Hi this is Kimberly! Well the bus ride was extremely long and boring and all of us had a hard time sleeping so we were very tired as we rolled in to New Orleans. We checked into our hotel and had a little much needed down time before we walked around town for a while. Pennie went to an orientation meeting and the rest of us waited for her by attempting to get food. There were so many people inside the building and we had to wait forever to get a slice of pizza. At 5 we headed to the super dome to go to the worship service. Getting inside the dome took us longer than expected and everyone was hot and sweaty. The worship service was really cool. There were cool lights, fireworks, and musicians. The three speakers gave motivational talks about how important we are in helping the community of New Orleans and how we can do more. After the worship service we broke into two separate groups and went to different activities. On the way to the activity my group chose to go to we ended up going the wrong way so it took us twice as long to get there. When we finally got to our activity we relaxed there for a while before heading back to our hotel. At the end of the day we had our final 15 devotions as a group. The first day was tiring but very exciting too! I'm sure the rest of the week will be amazing =)
