New Orleans-9B part 2 Volume 1 section C

Hey everyone!
Today the zydeco put on a vacation bible school for all the neighborhood kids from 9ish until 12. It was awesome! We had no idea how many kids were coming or if kids were coming. So we were soooooo incredibly excited when we had about 30 kids with ages ranging from 3 to 12. It was a busy morning with crafts, games, movies, and snacks.
Then right around 12 we got on the bus and headed to a charter school that we were going to help paint. We spend the afternoon painting, moving furniture, and scraping paint. It was hard work, but at least we were in air-conditioning! :)
This evening we on a tour around New Orleans with Pastor Mike. We went down to the 9th Ward which was mind blowing for me. We saw things like buildings that looked like they were hit by Katrina a couple of months ago. the thing that struck me the most was the front porch steps that stood all alone because the houses that were connected at one point were completely swept away. That is a picture that will stick in my mind forever.

Yea! I can comment!! Thank you! We am so thankful that we can hear what you are doing! It is good to read the reports of such wonderful things.

I would love to know who is in Gumbo and who is in Zydeco. . .but maybe it is still mainly a secret--though now I know which group two of you are in!!! Haha!
