On the Road

Yesterday (Friday) was our last full day in New Orleans. It was hot (although every day this week has been hot with temperatures in the mid-90s, feeling around 100 with humidity) but the students worked very hard despite the heat! We finished as much as possible at our worksites and then had an evening of sharing highlights of the week with the entire crossroads group. 

Unfortunately, we also discovered a broken van window when getting ready to leave one of the worksites on Friday. Thankfully, nothing was stolen out of the van! The cause of the broken window remains a mystery but we did have to wait several hours for the police to come and file a report. A huge thank you to the students who volunteered to stay behind and wait at the site - your patience there was a testament to God's work in your lives!

Today we left Camp Hope early and spent all day driving. Everyone was thankful to arrive at our hotel for tonight and many enjoyed swimming in the pool. We plan to arrive home mid-afternoon tomorrow (Sunday) and will keep you posted on a more specific time during our drive.

Thank you for all of your prayers this week!
