and his friend Kim for a tour of east New Orleans and the lower 9th Ward. It was unsettling to see the massive destruction left by the flooding and the poverty that people were living in three years after the storm. Once back and checked into our hotel, we enjoyed some free time and a fierce game of guesstures before we headed out to get dinner and supplies. We finished up the evening with a devotional and prepared for our VBS skits, dances, crafts, games & snacks.
Many of us were blessed to see God working in a young ladies heart at the grocery store as we checked out tonight. A conversation about where we were from and what were we doing here led to an invitation to bring her daughter to the VBS in the morning. We gave he directions and encouraged her to join us only half anticipating her to be there in the morning. As it turns out she stopped by with her daughter, Lovely, at 9:30PM as we were leaving just to make sure she had everything she needed. We also had a chance to invite a fifth grade boy in the parking lot of the Winn Dixie so please pray for them to come tomorrow and experience the life changing message of Jesus. - Todd
